Saint Defensive Stragety.

We don't play a bend but don't break defense.
The Saints play a form of defense that is designed to be feast or famine. It is designed to give the ball back to the offense very quickly or let the other team score quickly. That's why we play so much man to man defense. Either way, we get the ball back rather quickly.

This assumes of course that you can score a lot of points too. The Saints have proven to have one of the top 5 offenses in the league. The problem comes when you come up against another top rated offense.

It's a stragety that worked fine in 2006 and sucked in 2007. Still, with the players we've added, we should be improved on defense. We really need a true #2 WR and a top rated RB to keep the offense going and secure Payton's offensive genius status.

This is why I think Payton will peeve us and draft Mendenhall unless somebody make us a great offer to trade down since there are no true defensive players worthy of a #10 pick.
