I am with the pass rush dud. Its the biggest missing piece. When they get it, suddenly the backend looks better.
But Capers was having to send a fifth or sixth guy from the secondary to get it. And that takes time.
We didn't have a pass rush but that's not unusual against the Saints. Brees has a quick release and will risk interceptions to avoid sacks. Saints OL is pretty good, also.

The problem is, the defense is constructed so that pass rush is vital to success. See any number of 3rd and long conversions.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
