Three reasons we are 6-2 and why..............

We are that good!
1 and 2 are easy.
1, We have a running game which makes us very balanced and very hard to game plan for.
2, We have a legitimate defense that gets better every week.
Number 3, may or may not have been discussed yet. Our halftime adjustments, on both offense and defense, have been Incredible. What our coaching staff is picking up in the first half, they are exploiting on offense and taking away on defense. This is a breakdown of scoring by quarters through 8 games. The third quarter tells the story.
Scoring______1st______2nd______3rd_____4th
Saints_______46_______54_______55______53
opponents___40_______42_______30______43
Total diff =___+6______+12______+25_____+10
We are dominating the 3rd quarter.
Note: We were beating the Loins 45-10 late in the third. They scored 4 TDs(2 in each qtr) from the 5:56 mark of the 3rd qtr till games end. This game was out of hand and the 28 points given up was because the entire team started coasting until the 3rd TD was scored. This was a little upsetting. Games need to be finished, regardless of the score. It was way to early to think the game was over. Probably a good thing for coaches to use.

In my opinion, it also appears Payton has made a concerted effort to improve time of possession. Perhaps even not calling as many big plays so that drives last longer. Defense on field less snaps equals less defensive injuries

He definitely doesn't force the long ball as much either. When defense moves safeties he randomly takes a shot. Most of the time he settles for a 7-8 yard play it seems. It's working well

I'll take 7-8 yards all day, especially since its been 2nd and 6 with the way our run game has been.

1. Better drafting is showing on the filed with the younger players balling.
2.100% commitment for running the ball, because that helps out your defense.
3.coaching staff changes, if you think about that alone has a lot to do with each position group playing well !

they are like good in pass coverage
our secondary is as good as its been because of the LB coverage and the offensive pass rush.
after last week, it's hard to even figure out where there is a deficiency on defense. Even our interior lineman are playing well enough to stop the run.

Marshon Laittimore Dude shuts down the side of whatever he is on. Allows the rest of the D to team up against anyone who isn`t a lineman.
Without the Marsh Monster, saints would be still be struggling.
