I think the defense will look better against conventional offenses; the preseason game against the Patriots(starters vs. starters) immediately comes to mind.

I'm not saying we'll be that good, but has to be an improvement over the first two games. Maybe Greer will start this game and Patrick will take over the nickle...

I totally agree with this. RGIII and Newton are two Qbs a defense learning a new scheme are going to take some time to get used to.Hopefully playing them early like we did was actually a good growing experience for us.

Linebacker Scott Shanle said initial impressions of the Saints' defense could be skewed because New Orleans opened with a pair of unconventional, dual-threat quarterbacks: Washington's Robert Griffin III, then Newton.

Yet the Saints spent nearly the entire offseason learning how their new defense works against conventional drop-back passers, which is what they will see this Sunday against Kansas City and quarterback Matt Cassel.

"The past two weeks, we've been running defenses to take things away things you really don't work on a whole lot," Shanle said. "It'll be good to get back to conventional stuff."

Hope this is the case
