The D is allowing 5+ yards per rush.


Has a little something to do with having 4 healthy DLinemen.

That MUST improve if we're going to challenge for a playoff run.


MUST it? 4 of the bottom 10 defenses in YPC allowed last season made the playoffs (Falcons were a few plays away from the SB and allowed 4.8ypc). We allowed 5ypc in 2011 when we went 13-3.

what has stuck out to me after 2 games... our secondary seemingly knows how to catch

the 2 guys we probably lambasted the most last year for their butterfingers have pretty solid INTs this year... Harper and Jenkins

Harper made a diving pick off of the tipped ball on 4th down to secure the win against ATL

and Jenkins made a heck of a read, jumped a route and caught the ball that was right in his stomach in stride and raced for what... 30-some odd yards

I know the O has struggled (according to the standards they set) after 2 weeks... but I have no doubts we'll see that side of the ball clicking on all cylinders soon... and when it does... the Saints will be almost unstoppable
