How good were the 2011 Rams defensive coaches?

I ask this because the Saints seem to be hiring every last one of them.

I keep telling myself “they had lots of injuries last year” and trying hard to believe it.

Well I know hey lost at least 6 DB for the season last year

Just because we have chiseled abs and stunning features, it doesn't mean that we too can't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident.

Uh...not getting a great feeling about this...

I sure hope SP knows what he’s doing … then again, our defense couldn’t be much worse than last year.

No worries

Last year they were with a team that had all kinds of problems. Their offense couldn’t score and they had major injuries all over the place. They almost won their division in 2010, but that’s not saying much. Spags won’t have the whole team to worry about in NOLA and will be freed up to focus entirely on the defense, like he did when he helped the Giants win a Super Bowl. His greatest issue will be constructing a front seven that is somewhere close to how effective his Giants front seven was. That will be difficult.

"As soon as Tony (Dungy) said we had no chance, I knew we had 'em right where we wanted 'em"--Coach Sean Payton right after Super Bowl XLIV with the Lombardi Trophy firmly in hand. WHO DAT!!
