New Orleans Saints defense makes no apologies for lights-out play

New Orleans Saints Coach Sean Payton likes to say every Sunday in the NFL is either a crisis or a carnival for fans and the media, depending on the outcome of your team's game. With the New Orleans Saints defense, this crisis-or-carnival experience often occurs from series to series, even play to play.
Like the city it represents, the Saints' defense is going to drive you nuts from time to time, it'll cause you to pull your hair out and scream to the heavens, but it will never, ever bore you.
This is how defensive coordinator Gregg Williams wants it. His motto, after all, is, "Live on the edge, play on the edge."
As long as he is in charge of the unit, the Saints are going to continue to attack and let the yellow flags fall where they may.
"Sometimes you get the bear, and sometimes the bear gets you," Williams said. "We're going to live on the edge and get after the quarterback, and we're not going to change. We're going to go down swinging."
