Saints invest a lot in the safety position between FA/draft and it doesn't pay off, Ryan confusing the players doesn't help either. But I think it proves you need a push up front or you will be knocked around. Collinsworth could not stop saying positive things about the Dallas O-line last night. It was so strange to her that.
Kenny Vaccaro, for all that mouth that he was running this week, got absolutely abused in coverage by Jason Witten, and on every other play was completely out of position it seemed.
They sure did spend a ton of money on Byrd, though, and it's now coming back to bite them. They're still an offensive force, which was strange to see us shut them down, but on defense they forewent front players in favor of the expensive single DB. We did the same thing with Brandon Carr, to an extent, but Brandon Carr has played very well and fit in with the salary cap and the defensive unit as a whole.
Also, can we just give Sterling Moore a Scandrick Contract right now? That dude deserves to be on this team for the foreseeable future.
