I'm also optimistic and feel they've shown flashes. I've said the defense is a joke right now, but we also don't have a head coach or linebackers coach/asst coach. No telling how much Spags is having to do on his own.

That said, didn't they avg about 25 pts or so giving up with Williams? If our goal is 25 ppg given up, God help us. Because that is awful.

just for reference, defenses last year...

NFL avg pts allowed 22.2
Saints were 13th allowing 21.2

the difference from last year's Saints to #3 Ravens defense is 4.6 pts per game. That's parity at it's finest. 5pts a game is diff from avg to elite scoring D.

2011 Yards Allowed Defense
NFL avg 346.8 per game
Saints 24th 368.4
elite level would be 3 teams under 308 per game

-5 pts & -60 yds per game and yer close to total domination
