Spag's 1st words to Payton

"Let's go win a Super Bowl."
-- Steve Spagnuolo's first words to New Orleans coach Sean Payton, before "Hello'' or "Hi Sean, this is Steve,'' when Spagnuolo called Payton Thursday afternoon to tell him he was taking the Saints defensive coordinator position.

I think Sean Payton's pursuit of Steve Spagnuolo was a smart one, during which Payton emphasized three things that were better than his competitors for Spagnuolo's services. One: New Orleans won more -- 41 victories over the last three years, including a Super Bowl. Two: Drew Brees. Three: Total autonomy.
The third wouldn't have been different at the two other suitors, Philadelphia and St. Louis. But Brees over Mike Vick and Sam Bradford -- easy call. And the winning part -- easy call. Spagnuolo can now mold the Saints defense in his likeness, which will involve less cover-zero and risky blitzing than the Saints ran under Gregg Williams.

Gregg Williams is a good defensive coordinator, just as Spagnuolo is.
Their styles are different, though, and I'm looking forward to see the improvements he makes after the draft and free agency this year.
Our D could not cover Vernon Davis at all in our last game, but they couldn't really cover Jimmy Graham either.....

im tired of sending 5-6 guys to pressure, then getting no pressure, and giving up a 15 yard completion on 3rd and 10

Its stuff like this where I need to remind myself to enjoy this moment in the sun, because it won't be like this forever

A little confused about how Spagnuolo would have been candidate for DC job in St. Louis after he was fired as Head Coach.

Go team Spag's
Posted on 1/23/12 at 9:07 am to clooneyisgod
yeah I was about to ask that as well. Did they really ask him to stick around as DC or did the writer just botch this?
Posted on 1/23/12 at 9:08 am to thedogman
you wouldn't think a guy would want to stick around and be demoted in a place...I know I wouldn't
Posted on 1/23/12 at 9:09 am to clooneyisgod
I'm ready for a kick arse defense from Spags

I was worried that we were gonna go to the other side of the spectrum from GW. I'm glad that we have another aggressive guy, but one who's smarter about it.

I got a chubby.
If we have a defense just half as good as our offense, we'll be a very scary team.

this was my frustration
mine as well. we were so predictable with blitzes and coverages the past two seasons, it was frustrating.
hopefully, we see some immediate returns next season and the learning curve for the new system is similar for when GW took over from Gibbs.
