Would have loved to have seen that during the 1st 4-7/8 weeks.

It would have been beast if he would've got that INT.

Well he got paid so he only needs to actually live up to the billing every now & again.

This data below tells me JR is doing his job and that others need to step up and play calling needs to utilize him properly. Credit bclemms

If you want to get mad at someone, get mad at what is probably the most idiotic thing I've seen from the defense this season. Rob Ryan has got to fix this now.



If anyone is still wondering if we are playing a different defense than last season, here is all you need to know.

In 2013- Junior dropped into coverage 42 times in 16 games.

In 2014- Junior has dropped into coverage 57 times in 4 games.



To take your best pass rusher and drop him into coverage 57 times while rushing the passer 89 times is simply idiotic at best. This is also why it seems like our pass rush has suffered. Junior is getting a pressure every 8.9 pass rush attempts. Last season Junior got a pressure every 14.18 pass rush attempts. He is actually having more success this season rushing the passer, he is simply getting far less pass rush attempts. When defenses don't have to account for Junior as a pass rusher it allows teams to focus even more on Cam.



Rob Ryan has been so hell bent on running a 34 defense, trying to play zone coverage and implement zone blitzing schemes he has completely lost what he did last season by putting the best players on the field and playing to their strengths.



I am willing to bet Payton has a part in this as well. Zone defense and zone blitzing produces a lot of turnovers. Problem is we aren't built for it. I love seeing it occasionally and the play design where KV got a sack was phenominal but this defense isn't built for it on a consistent basis.



Play a 4 man front, press at the line and let the players do what they do best. The communication issues will improve, the "lack of fire" will turn around because players are reacting instead of thinking, the pass rush will improve and we will see an instant impact.



Did we learn nothing from Spags and his zone blitz defense?

what a stunt, Rob!

What does this even mean?

Are you trying to say he doesn't "try hard" most of the time?

No I'm saying I don't think he's worth the big contract he was given based on what this defense has done this year. Throw in Byrd while we're at it, even before his injury. Jordan wants an extension and I say extend our middle fingers. I'm just frustrated with how bad this team looks so far. There was such high expectations this year and so far they've played uninspired football. Particularly the defense, they've taken 2 giant steps backwards. Every week so far they have looked like they just don't care. LBs are a joke, the preseason Hicks hype seems to be just a tease. In fact everyone on the DL seems to be playing with as much energy as Stephen Hawking.

Our offense has looked decent, but even they don't look the same. I'm guessing they all started sipping the "preseason SuperBowl Hype" they were getting from the media. Brees' age is catching up to him quick is the only thing I'm guessing, or his oblique is still a problem. Maybe it's Payton, maybe he needs an enema or something. Maybe we need to be running about 65% of the time instead of trying to have Drew throw the ball more than 30 yards??? I mean seriously, all teams have to do is play underneath coverage on us and stop the run and VOILA!

Anyways that basically is how I feel, I'm not expecting much for the rest of the season but hopefully I'll be surprised. I'm already looking towards the offseason but then again we've dumped so much money into these scrubs we can basically look forward to these same heartless dbags next year. But hey I could be wrong, maybe they'll turn it around and play like everyone thought they could.
