Excellent hire and lucky to find a guy with his defensive resume'. He did a great job with the Giants' D from what I remember.

Here's a good chart comparing the Saints and Rams defenses this year. As the article says, it's hard to make the comparison based on the performance of each team's offense, but it shows where they ranked in each category.

But I believe that what the Giants are doing now points more to how much talent they have on defense than who is theDC.The same,perhaps,can be said for when they beat the Patriots. They have beenone of the few teams that can get to the QB with their front line. If you can do that it's not as hard to be a good DC. Perhaps the people that are in charge of the draft get most of the credit? We will see what he does with what the Saints have on defense.

you have to be a little more agressive with this defense b/c the Defensive Line is so bad on the pass rush. So I hope he is going to blitz but be smarter about it. Hopefully, there is a way to re-tool the DL over the offseason. Really wish Saints had taken another DE or DL instead of Ingram.

Williams had to blitz b/c the DL was so bad.

I know the Saints took Cam Jordan, I wish they had taken a second DE/DL. There is no reason to ever draft an RB in the first round.
