Instead of arguing against the OP, I'll put a spotlight on other perspectives:Dennis Allen defense has allowed 29, 35, and 48 in week one for the last 3 years as DC. Which is 37 ppg allowed. If you include 2015 when he was a defensive assistant. Another 31 points surrender. 36 ppg.
So, don't be surprised if Dennis Allen has another porous start with experimenting with bad/old scheme before he figures out the best scheme to play to his personnel's strength.
But the defense will improve once the Film Wars begin.
So, stay calm if defense doesn't start out so hot.
Dennis Allen is probably the greatest half-time adjusting coach I have seen for the Saints in my lifetime. If his defenses get off to a slow start, but he continues to improve in the 2nd half of games, and as the season progresses...I can live with that.
Some of y'all need a lesson in expectation management.
He is a fantastic chess player and rope-a-dope an offense at crazy efficiency in the 2nd halvesYou have to give credit where it's due. Allen has proven to be very good at halftime adjustments. Some DCs are better counter punchers.
I am pretty sure that it is a league wide trend
wasn't there a lot of talk about the amount of points being scored overall at the beginning of the last 2 seasons and then things settled down after 4 weeks or so?
Is this another way of saying we are a "finesse" defense?
I'd rather be the Dome Patrol or Ravens type defense with coaches who can also scheme when pure physical skills have met a match. You need both and the coaches who insist that their genius ability to scheme over talent are the ones that don't last.
Mike Martz is an example of a coaching career that died in its one dimensional devotion to ability to scheme as a genius.
You are on to something because you are used to seeing Williams arriving too late, watching the completion happen...The biggest problem I have with our defense is when we do play a single safety deep, he can never seem to commit to one player of the other especially on deep outs. i mean it's either, or man. The thing i liked about Darren Sharper was he rolled the dice & took a chance. most of the time he was right & was able to get to the play & make something happen. We haven't had that king of play maker int he backfield, before. or since. Marcus Williams has the ability, but lacks the will to be that guy. The coaches have to tell this guy to make up his mind & go. it's better to get burned once in a while, or every other time than to get burned every single time because you won't commit.
Well, single high safety is kind of dead.

I hope we stop doing single high safety and do more cover 2 or 3 safety cover 3.You are on to something because you are used to seeing Williams arriving too late, watching the completion happen...
