I wish we hired Gregg Williams as our coach.

No disrespect to G-Williams, but hasn't this been the first game the defense has done very well. I think in the other games, the offense has just basically outscored the opponent.

Not really, the score of the first game was misleading. They gave up 27 to Detroit, but that was mostly off of turnovers/big plays in special teams. They were really only victimized once by a big Calvin Johnson play. Other than that, the D looked good.

The Philly game wasn't great, but they forced a few turnovers and scored defensively on a long INT return by Sharper. They had 3 INTs of Kolb that game.

Last week, they held Buffalo to just 7 points.

And then, this happened yesterday. The defense hasn't been amazing, but considering what the Saints had been, it's pretty damn good.

I'm of the opinion that Gregg Williams is good at doing "more with less" and can scheme his way to having a good defense. I think when you don't have a bunch of superstars it's easier to create pressure with different blitz packages because the opponents can't really key on guys and that's what's working really well in NOLA right now. It almost looks like he's running a 3-4 down there with guys coming from everywhere and others dropping into coverage. The Saints D looks very confusing right now.
