This is so much better than what Yasinkas was doing.
And it's stuff like this that makes ESPN so frustrating. They have the potential to be so much better than what they are but, for the most part, they appeal to the lowest common denominator.

I agree. Trip is doing a great job so far.
I might just pop some popcorn Monday night. Usually I'm nervous for games, but I'm pretty confident about Monday nights in the dome. It's not a slight to Miami. They have a good squad, but I'd put money on this if I were a betting man.

I hope Cam Jordan decapitates Tannehill.
Because his wife is smoking, I my fat arse would never get a women like that.
and he's rich
and he went to Texas A&M who's players I dislike unless of course they are a Saint
Bitter? Who me?

A bit more...
Saints have allowed opponents to convert just 13 of 37 third downs. 35% that ranks 12th in the NFL.
Consequently The Saints' defense has played a total of 166 snaps this season and hasn't played more than 56 in any game yet. By comparison, they played 225 snaps in the first three games last season.
A average of 20 more plays a game. Wow!
Youth
The Saints youth movement on defense has been well documented. Sports Illustrated's Peter King noted this week that the average age of the Saints' front seven that played the most snaps Sunday was 24.3. Last year the average age of the front seven during Week 3 was 27.8.
And with Vilma Ellis and Smiths contracts soon to be gone much cheaper!

They gone. You can't ignore the production. Nature did what the club didn't have the stomach to do.

I actually got to be in sicboy's wedding earlier this year in Disney World. It was the fairy tale wedding he's always dreamed of.

Trip actually has this on ESPN.com talking about 3-0 SB contenders:

Mike Triplett on the Saints
The Saints should definitely be considered as legitimate Super Bowl contenders, based on their offensive track record under coach Sean Payton and quarterback Drew Brees. Not only did they win the Super Bowl in 2009, but their offense was even better in 2011, when they finished 13-3 and set the NFL record for yards gained in a season (7,474). I don't expect an exact repeat this year, but I think that's closer to the norm than last year's 7-9 season.
Especially with tight end Jimmy Graham healthy again and back to being one of the most difficult matchups in the league. Clearly, however, the Saints need to improve a run game that has been practically non-existent to keep defenses honest and keep Brees upright.
Meanwhile, the Saints' young defense has been one of the biggest surprises in the NFL this year under new coordinator Rob Ryan. I still expect a few growing pains before the season is over. But they don't need to be dominant for the Saints to succeed. And I think they can continue to come up big in some big moments. Players are clearly responding to Ryan's energetic approach and versatile schemes. And they have some bona fide talent to work with in every unit -- including emerging young pass-rushers Cameron Jordan and Junior Galette. That was the biggest question mark heading into this season. If the defense can keep playing anywhere near this level, the Saints could run away with the NFC South title
