Another inexplicable loss during that great season (see also: Bengals @ Saints 2006, Redskins @ Saints 2006). Three teams we had no business losing to when we played them, but we played poorly and they won.

both came on quick-hitting bursts off tackle and solidified my belief that our OLBs were sorely lacking in recognition skills. Check that, were = still are. Quick RBs and overly active TEs have been the bane of Fujita and Shanle’s existence ever since. That’s why Gonzalez and Winslow in the NFC South scares the bejesus out of me. On the bright side, with the exception of Jon Beason, there truly are no outstanding OLBs in the division, so maybe we can offset some of that with Shockey on offense.
