I don't understand it either. Junior Galette and Cam Jordan aren't the terrors they were last year. Akiem Hicks hasn't taken the next step everyone thought he would. LB's are solid, but not impactful. With the exception of the forced fumble, Jairus Byrd has not lived up to his billing. Vaccaro has made absolutely no plays. Corey White is way too inconsistent, and his bad plays are costly. P-Rob.. well, you know. Where is Raphael Bush? Every single blitz has been perfectly picked up by offenses. No pass rush. Only one forced turnover. They get mauled by offensive lines on running plays. They are at their worst in crucial moments, especially after the two-minute warning. I can't believe how terrible this defense has been. So disappointing.

Drew Brees and the offense has to be perfect to compensate for our inept defense.

See I completely disagree with this. I've only noticed us send 5 or more guys a handful of times these past 2 games. And when we actually blitz we get some pressure. We did get a couple qb hits and hurrys against the Browns and Ryan was forced out the pocket a few times. The problem is we won't commit to blitzing. We sure fake blitz a ton though. And just like the stupid running shite we do on offense, no one will buy our stacked box fake blitz drop back coverage plays if we never make them respect our blitz in the first place.
