re: Defense showing promise!

I'm not trying to be Debbie downer or anything. I like the play so far. But ever since that pre-season game years ago when we straight up assaulted Alex Smith and the 49ers and had a few picks in the first half, then our defense would just as garbage as normal, I've learned to temper my pre-season hype.
That was 2011...when the Saints went on to go 13-3. The total defense that year wasn't great. However, the scoring defense was in the top 15. Either would be a HUGE improvement from the last few years.
I don't think anyone is saying based on 2 preseason games the Saints defense looks like the '85 Bears. But regardless of the competition, the defense has shown some signs of improvement. Even in the preseason over last few years the defense looked terrible.

I really want to see consistency. I know we're not going to see that '91 defense again, but even if we can sniff the '09 unit as far as turnovers, that's going to go a long ways.
I know I sound like a broken record, but it can't be stated enough how much of a strain the lack of turnovers over the years has put on the offense.
