Fair points, our defense has been putrid, we are ranked 27th right now, when we were ranked 11th last year.....
The LB's are being exploited so badly, it's disgusting, not to mention the second corner spot.
Still out of a 32 team league, the 49ers defense is ranked 17th. 16th in rush D, and 17th in pass D. Like wise, our offense has been mediocre(16th), while your's has been putrid....
And no, every team isn't just going to magically switch to a cover 2, I'm sure they will throw it in there, but all the teams don't have the personnel to play a cover 2 all game.
I expect both teams to get better as the season goes on(people forget how young the Saints team is) but I'm not ready to panic about the Saint's or crown the 9ers just yet. I don't know why we can't get better, but the 49ers can.
Our main problem is Payton's stubborn play calling so far this year, it's like he refuses to make any changes when things are going bad.
