I want the Saints to win. They will knock the Bucs out of the playoffs, and the Packers will get to play a beat up Rams team. Then we take care of business against the Saints in Lambeau. Super Bowl! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’d smoke the bears but I’m not so sure I’d rather take the Rams and have the Saints knock off tampa but I don’t care too much either way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrry32 Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 I'm not trying to be a d*ck here. This is an earnest question. Y'all have a D that looks great on paper. But statistically, you were fringe top 10. Why isn't it better? Kenny Clark is a monster. The two Smiths are a very good edge duo. Jaire is a top 3 CB. Your other DBs aren't terrible (as far as I recall). Why isn't your defense closer to #1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your other DBs aren't terrible (as far as I recall). Why isn't your defense closer to #1? Coordinator is the main issue. Tends to play soft, off coverage. Light on the DL beside Clark so can get run on. Sum of the parts not quite as good as the supposed individual pieces. @jrry32 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inside linebackers were a weak spot most of the season but have improved somewhat late in the season 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King gets picked on, Preston Smith has had a bad year, ILB has been a rotation and we need a better DLman next to Clark. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your other DBs aren't terrible (as far as I recall). Why isn't your defense closer to #1? Great question. Kenrick almost verbatim said what I was going to say. Every unit (except ILB which is avg and Safety which is strong) has one great player and then a bunch of avg players at best. But, hey, adding Snacks might help a wee bit on Run defense as other than Clark, we lacked beef in the middle (our defense is built/schemed to stop the pass first and foremost, hence a more bend but not break vibe). They have been improving alot over the course of the season, especially against the run. Snacks Harrison will hopefully improve it even more--hopefully, no given.

They've been a much better overall d the last bit of the season. We'll see how they hold up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 10 gets us to the Owl and then all bets are off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
