Sproles did not have much 4th quarter impact. I remember him catching 1 out route for 10 yards or so. And Graham was victimizing Glover Quinn on his TD. The problem was never our LBs in coverage in this game. It was no pressure on Brees up front and no coverage on any of their WRs in the backend.
As an adjustment to when teams spread us out, yes, I think we need to have more CBs than LBs on the field. See this breakdown of the 93-yard drive to put them ahead by Brian Baldinger. We need more speed on the field when team's spread us out. Now whether they'll make a play or break up a pass - that's a different argument. I'm just talking about from a scheme perspective.
