I'm watching the New Orleans game and it's clear that we cannot defend the run and the screen pass like.

This is definitely a downgrade from last year...I'm not sure if Roth will make a difference but it is not looking good right now...

By the way, S. Smith might be the real deal..
 
OMG. another worrier. everybody is always worried about something.
 
Chill out man, on the one big screen play Payton called it on a all out blitz to that side, great play call by Payton.
 
what u expect fergie is a retiring man
 
I'd be more worried about our Special Teams, it was awful last year and it hasn't looked any better this preseason.
 
If I remember correctly, screens and passes to RB's were a big issue last preseason also. It all disappeared as the regular season began.
 
We got caught on a blitz by Crowder on the first screen...simply a good play call vs. the defense...it happens...
 
I'm not worried about the defense. Special teams have been consistently bad. And we are not scoring.
 
Starting run D was not bad at all, we definetely have pass rushers, and our linebackers are sticking people, missing a few assignments but still hitting people. Secondary looked much better this week and I think Brunnel is a better QB than Leftbitch.
 
I'm convinced we have done nothing to improve kick coverage. That is the only thing I'm not satisfied about. John Bonamego needs to wake up or he's joining Mike Maser in the unemployment line.
 
I suppose the saints are worried about the 8 sacks they gave up.

thats why the screens worked. they knew we were bringing heat all day. vs. tampa, we were fine vs. the screena and also carolina.

Its preseason and we have not settled on who will be on our roster to complete the ST. I am not all that worried because things will change starting tommorrow in that regard.

thank god preseason is over!!!

and i will add our redzone offense, still haven't seen anything to be overly excited about yet... gotta wait for the season!!!
