Kudos to Jim Haslett and Raheem Morris

I like the addition of Morris, he is basically a second defensive coordinator, I'll wait a few more games of consistency from Haslett before I jump on his bandwagon.

Winning heals......many ill's
Love this stuff.

Not to take anything away from Haslett in the NO game, but it's also worth pointing out that it takes time to transition from a 4-3 to a 3-4 defense. The year we switched was haslett's first year, and I think he unfairly took a lot of heat for the performance that year, when it was really just a lack of talent. Now that he has that talent, we're seeing what he can do with it. Just my two cents..

Totally agree.

My only criticism of Haslett/Morris and the D is that they seem to go into prevent mode towards the end of the game. Otherwise, I think they did a hell of a job limiting one of the best offenses in the league.

Remember when Blatche was our coordinator? "Bend but don't break"? What a joke lol

Didn't Blache produce a couple of top-5 defenses?

That is entirely possible. I just remember having a lot of moments where the skins were playing prevent defense and screaming at the TV "STOP GIVING THEM FREE YARDS!!!"

I'm reserving judgement. Our front 7 looked good, but everything else was poop. We got lucky calls from the refs, and more importantly the saints dropped ALOT of balls. The saints were also driving at the end. I'm not excited about the whole 32 points thing either. The defense crumbled at the end.

Yeah they may have been 'top five' but they did a lot of prevent defense, which we all know the saying, it 'prevents you from winning'. He was very conservative on defense as well, never wanting to blitz. Thank god he's not our D Coordinator anymore
