Interceptions... 2012

Yup.

I am hanging my hat on that "intangible" statistic of, it seems to me like defenses do noticeably better in the first year of a new coordinator, not just Saints and interceptions, but also it happens in other places with other teams and other stats. I am hoping we can get some interceptions and some other improvements out of our guys, caused by confusion and opposing teams not knowing what to expect. Also don't underestimate the fact that a new defensive coordinator, means all the guys on D will be playing to impress the new coaches, for keeping their starting job security, plus there will be more competitive pressure from backup guys playing hard and sensing an opportunity to break into the regular rotation. Nobody is safe at any position when a new coach comes in and brings in new players. Even veteran guys will be busting their rumps in training camp, from the opening snap.
