Why did Spagnuolo stink as Saints' DC? (merged)

Man, I still remember reading about how the Honey Badger was on the same plane as Rob. This was before he got drafted. I think the speculation was that everyone was hoping we would draft him and somehow it was a sign. Those were the days.

RR was telling him how he'd make him a star, etc. Going into that season I felt like we could move Corey White to safety, but if we really needed to draft one, then I was hoping it was Honey Badger.

Mike Detillier said it wasn't a fit. For what it's worth.

That pretty much sums it up. Remember the game against the Eagles that year? Spags allowed the defense be more attacking and it was a night and day difference. After the game one of the reporters asked him if that was going to be the scheme going forward and his answer alluded to "no".
