We aren't facing Doug Martin this week, we are facing Mendenhall. If he gashes us, then be worried. Our d-line has been as impressive as any this season, so far. I highly doubt that you expected the defense to do anything this season, so you should be happy with the production we've all seen thus far. They are playing mean and aggressive, something we haven't seen in a while. This team in general just looks so different from that shite show last season, they look confident they will win.

What should really give you a boner is the fact that the offense has yet to really catch their stride. The defense has basically won it for the team the last two weeks. They gave the offense a chance with a minute Sunday, and Brees proved why he is an all-time great. The Saints have won their first two games, and more importantly, first two division games. There is plenty to be excited about. Stop raining on the parade.

We're facing a team that went 1/11 on 3rd downs last week!

Do you even give rational thought to that?
I'm not trying to start a stupid cyber-war. That's for kids. I'm a Saints fan but not a HOMER.

As previously stated there is definitely room for optimism. I expected the D to be as good as any Rob Ryan D anywhere else. Thanks for attempting to know what I think.

I'm lovin' that.

You DO realize this D is allowing more yards per rush than the D that was the worst in NFL history a year ago, don't you?
You are correct there is plenty to be excited about - it's not a total package yet though. When we get there I'll get the stiffy you already have.
