We, as Saints fans say what a lack of aggression will do. Over the last part three years we have had a consistently bad defense.
Gary Gibbs was not aggressive enough. Sure, we can’t cover but that does not mean that we can’t blitz. Opposing quarterbacks seemed to have had excellent games against the Saints. Especially looking at the rookies that have excellent games. Three years ago it started with Jay Cutler, and carried forward to Matt Ryan this year. Don’t even mention the fact that they have made players like Rex Grossman look good.
The facts state that it was a combination of both the system and the players that has made the Saints defense so bad. I really wonder if there are some players that were secretly complaining about the lack of aggression. If I were a player (Will Smith and Charles Grant) that my job was to get into the offensive backfield and make plays and I had just got big contract, I would have been angry as well..
