That said who have they beat?  Tannenhill?Brice Young?Now Love may not yet be a premier Passer, but I’d take him against either QB, even more so at LambeauThe Saints Defense is about allowing short stuff and keeping the game in front of them. They don’t blitz much and their QB pressure rate is pedestrian (ours is actually very good thus far) however NO finishes what they started with 7 sacks to our 5. Saints Run Defense is more normal. Where the Saints excel is in the Redzone as they just stifle teams in that area. They’ve allowed just 1 Passing TD and they force teams to Kick FG.Other than rushing yards in that 2nd half of last week, our D is surprisingly good overall so far. Our Defense tends to execute better at Pass rush and that might be part the cause for allowing too many Rushing yards. We overcommit at times and lose lane integrity. We need to play more disciplined and balance more run support. The Saints don’t have a superior Rushing threat though, so that balance needs to be delicately adjusted this week.I think we can force a Turnover or two. As long as Jordan limits INT or fumbles I think we’re going to be in this one pretty good.</blockquote>
