It's a very slim chance that it happens, but the staff doesn't want to close the door on it completely.

This post made me happy, and obviously I agree with all of it.

It all comes down to turnovers, IMO. That 2009 defense wasn't anywhere near elite, but the opportunistic turnovers it created made us damn near unbeatable.

I think Bobby Hebert hit it right last night when he said this D even with a better pass rush the db's with the exception of Greer has stunk it up in man to man coverage. We will have to hope we can hold them to field goals and make a couple of 3rd down stops. Expect a ton of shootouts with whoever has the ball last will be the winner. That would be a little biit of improvement. Vacaro could be a difference maker. But besides him and Cam no one really knows.

But the bottom line is that we have the same defensive players as last year, just a year older (and now with even less depth)


you sure about that?

I don't know how I'm supposed to reasonably expect these same players to play significantly better than they have the previous two seasons. I want to believe it, but I just don't think I can.


Is Zombie here yet? he can teach you how to break this habit

there is not one single player on defense who is a playmaker, a real difference maker.


there is not one single player on defense who has played as regular season game yet. Hold your horses.

I just skimmed this thread. Now i see the funny side. Now im always laughing.

Wanted to be fair and bump this to eat my crow.

D-line was disruptive, sacks were numerous. Vaccaro played alot and played well. Our 2 minute defense is still terrible, but to be fair, the falcons drove down the field like that against almost every team they played last year.

No longer scared of our defense.

Meh. It was not an unreasonable question to ask at the time.

I'm starting to think this is an NFL thing, not a Saints thing.

I'll say this: on the last drive, I was surprisingly calm. I just kept thinking "Were gonna win this game."

Agreed no on wants to give up the Tim Tebow to Demaryius Thomas Playoff miracle pass so it looks like every goes deep zone in last two minutes
