It takes multiple factors to improve a defensive unit in the ultimate team game.

Whaddya'll think the most important aspects are?

I'd rank'em as-

1. BUY IN to the program. As tight lipped as the Saints org. is, it was quite telling last year when an unspecified player came out saying the players weren't all in. If ya don't hear the positive player comments like this year, then they prolly aren't convinced.

2. THE SCHEME ITSELF. They have to buy in but it does have to be a design up to NFL competition standards. Even more important is that the scheme must be tailored to the personnel. This was the great Spags fail IMO. His scheme has been good enough with the right personnel. It was simply a square peg/round hole situation last year to me.

3. PERSONNEL. Ya gotta have some talent and playmakers. Seeing how good a group of mostly the same players looks this year after being the worst in history shows how much it is more the scheme/buy-in over plain talent. Ryan is obviously catering the design to the talent.

1. Finding out the strengths and weakness of your defensive players and putting them where they can do the most and hide the least.

Rob seems to quickly be finding this out and adjusting scheme.
Spags seemed to force the round peg and square hole with a sledghammer.

You know, for years, I've been listening to some people on here saying we just didn't have the talent to be anything but terrible on defense.
I also heard we needed to cut most of the players and start over.

I never bought that.
I saw the talent on this defense.
I also saw that lots of our players were being used wrong.

It's nice to see a coordinator who can use each player to their strengths.




Also, the people who said we were better suited for a 3-4 appear to be vindicated.
