Saints' revamped defensive line comes up big

METAIRIE, La. (AP) -- One area the Saints needed to get better this season was their defensive line.

The reconfigured unit came up big against Chicago on Sunday, limiting the Bears to just 60 yards rushing in New Orleans' 30-13 victory.

Against the Bears, first-year Saints defensive tackles Aubrayo Franklin, Shaun Rogers and Mitch King teamed with Sedrick Ellis to force Chicago's offensive line into double teams.

That freed teammates, including defensive ends Turk McBride and Junior Galette along with linebackers and defensive backs to make tackles.

New Orleans sacked Bears quarterback Jay Cutler six times and finished with 10 quarterback hits.

Chicago was "squeezing inside because we were getting so much push and pressure on the inside, we were getting DBs running free and we were getting linebackers running free on the outside," Saints linebacker Jonathan Casillas said.

Everyone is entitled to be stupid, but some abuse the privilege.

All little common sense goes a long way.
