I seriously doubt that Spags would turn down the Saints for the Falcons, unless there were a HUGE price gap.

Maybe if G Williams leaves the saints will get a corner that can cover.That guy #27 ? Jenkins can’t cover his girl friend.Gave up 2 big plays in the playoff game,just like he did in other games i have seen him play.

Yardage wise: The packers and patriots have the worst defenses in the league and they’ll probably meet in the superbowl. Translation: it’s all about the play of the QB. Tebow beat the #1 defense last week. Defense is overrated. Never overpay for a Defensive Coordinator. If the Eagles didn’t lead the league in turnovers and Vick didn’t get hurt, nobody would be talking about Castillo’s job status.

For the idiots complaining about the play calling that lead to Alex smith lighting up the saints. Would you prefer that he went to a prevent defense? And Alex smith made himself look clutch nobody did it for him.

Could we please all agree to dispell this notion that Mike Nolan is a good coordinator? How many defenses (or, teams, when he is the head coach) must he diminish before he is exposed?

The Eagles need Spagnuolo more than the Saints do,they’ve never won a Super Bowl where as the Saints have.The Saints can have Juan Castillo .

Mirk Nolan still under contract with the Dolphins. He will leave only if the new coach doesn’t want him or if the Dolphins let him interview with another team.

Trsann,

You’re right as right can be. We cannot pressure QB,s with our front four, that must change. The 49′rs drafted a defensive end that had 16 sacks in the first round, and we drafted one that had one sack all year. As far as Greg Williams is concerned, all I can say is good riddance…

“Man, if the Saints get Spags, all I can say is
OUCH for the rest of the league.”

Yeah, if the Saints get Spags and his 32nd ranked run defense, the rest of the league is in serious trouble.

WTH are you doing Philly. Get Spags here on the double before….ah screw it, they never do the common sense thing. If they did, Reid, Castillo, Roseman and Banner would be looking for work right now.

It’s Gregg Williams there “genius”

Spags to the Saints would be very similar to what they have in Williams. He’d be another who brought the blitz.

If the Saints don’t draft horses upfront that can get to the passer without bringing the house, then expect more of what you’re used to with Spags.

Not saying it’s a bad thing. I just don’t see that much of a difference without drafting/signing pass rushers.

Yeah, way too many turnovers to win a playoff game, but the defense su.c.ked!.!.! The Saints almost always had to score bunches of points……. Spags – yes, Nolan – no……..

Lol is it even really a competition? Why on earth would any defensive coordinator want to go to Atlanta with that anemic offense.

Only hire Nolan if he promises to wear suits on the sideline again.

I think both men offer good things for the Saint’s potential defense. I, however, feel Spags fits more with their current personnel with the least need for change. I’m not saying that William’s didn’t know what he was doing, but he often put his defense in a bad position, situation be damned.

Why isn’t Spags in the consideration set for the Dolphins? Ross should make it happen, if only for the sake of symmetry.

Doesn’t matter what New Orleans does they host the Super Bowl next year so they’ll stink just ask Dallas and Indyor just look at history of cities hosting the team usually doesn’t fare well.

Go get Spags and we’ll win multiple Superbowls. Never was the biggest GW fan. So much is predicated on turnovers which just didn’t come this year and of course the blitz which killed us yesterday. How can Davis run so freely at the end after the game he had had up to that point? Bad defense. Questionable, at best, defensive draft picks, and an inability or refusal to adjust the D during the game. Enjoy St. Louis Greg.

As long as Spags can call competent defense, and not put Vernon Davis in one on one’s all game, then I’m in.

Seriously, Gregg Williams made a scrub like Alex Smith look like Joe Montana in the final minutes of the game. Ridiculous.

Steve Spagnuolo is just like Greg Williams–blitzes WAYYY too much (See: Giants-Browns game, 2008).

For years we have heard about how much of a “genius” DC Mike Williams is and I for one don’t get it. He failed at his one attempt as a HC and his defenses haven’t been above average. Outside of 2009, which was more a result of a powerful offense that usually had huge leads in games which required opposing teams to pass and allowed the Saints defense the opportunity to free-lance and gamble, the Saints defense has always been it’s achillies heel. Williams has only been a beneficiary of a potent offense that has unduly made an undeserving reputation for Williams.
