Really, dude?

I mean...really? Undecided

Not that I'm crapping all over their hire, but dude isn't better than Nolan given that he's has had better talent to work with defensively.

The more I thought about he and Nolan before Nolan was announced for us, I started to lean towards Nolan. Nolan gets results with lesser players. Spags had the luxury of a GM that stockpiled stud DE's.

It's a good pick up because the Rams were the team that best shut down the Saints offense all season long. Spags as DC by himself has a good track record and has learned under great tutelage but to also bring the knowledge of how that Saints offense was defended against helps well.

I think it's more so his Defensive line skills because the Rams tore that pro Bowl filled Saints O-line up. It's just a plus to his resume.

don't discount the saints d-line fellas their tackles and ends are fkn talented.

I sort of looked at Spags and Nolan as roughly equivalent, so I was happy with our hire, but wish the Saints had hired an idiot, instead of one of the two guys I wanted.

It is not a bad d-line, it just wasn't being utilized efficiently. Spags can do that and I expect a few key personnel adjustments will be made this offseason to insure he can do just that.
