Don't forget that Spag's defense got off to a slow start in his first season of 2007 and came back and took the Lombardi. I believe this team has more talent than that one, but has had a bit longer of a learning curve. If the offense can keep it up the defense will catch up and the Saints will be in a position the bring home another.

Giants had a much more talented D line than us with - Strahan, Tuck, osi and canty

4 great D lineman there and you know what they say, it all starts upfront

If you can control the line of scrimmage, you control the game

I like that junior is consistently getting pressure and that Cam Jordan is quickly becoming a very dominant player, at the same time i expected more of an impact from players like martez Wilson

Not in anyway doubting we could make a run, I'd love for it happen

Our D line just has to become dominant over night

No, they don't have to get dominant, they just need to get adequate.

Re: FWIW

We get a middle of the pack defense and we are a contender. Being the worst makes us need to score on every drive because we just about give up that.

Re: FWIW

I know it's hard to see.....maybe extremely hard to see, but I have to admit that I've been seeing micro improvement in our defense over the last 4 games, and especially in last week's game against the Bucs.

I mean, we must have had about 50 red zone defensive snaps in that game and our defense only gave up 21 points all game, and only 7 points in the second half for what 3 or 4 games in a row? It seemed that towards the end of last weeks game, the defense was starting to feel it. They seemed to be getting into a groove finally. If they can make even a slight improvement this week, we could win this game. I have to say that I'm cautiously optimistic going in.

Re: FWIW

We're undefeated the whole season if our defense holds opposition to < 19 PPG...

Re: FWIW

This is the game that is going to show if thid D has gelled or not, Ellis needs to be gone period. A real nose-tackle is needed.

But Strahan was the only incumbent starter in 2007. Tuck was 3rd string.
