They held Tennessee below 50, they held Adrian Peterson to just 55 I believe (or 60, memory is blank here) and they held Atlanta to just 33 rushing yards total. Nope, not like the Niners run defense but that's better numbers than earlier this season when they'd get run all over like the Tampa bay game.  Part of the Saints defensive issues is really an on going problem back when they won the Super Bowl. They can always shut down one thing, but can't shut down both. 2009, they were a great pass defense with turnovers and sacks, but they would give up lots of rushing yards. 2010, they were a top 10 pass defense and had some great games shutting down the pass (but not many turnovers) then again, they gave up lots of rushing yards. This year, they are finally doing something to stop the run, but they forgot how to defend the pass. They can fix one problem but never the other under Gregg Williams.</blockquote>
