METAIRIE, La. — Saints defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo saw the same thing everyone else saw Monday night – a fast, aggressive New Orleans defense taking the fight to the opponent, helping to carry the team to a 28-13 win over Philadelphia.

But he’s not even close to ready to call the Saints’ defense fixed. Far from it.

He knows that matchups change things from one week to the next in the NFL. In other words, while blitzing an injury-riddled Eagles team playing with a patchwork offensive line worked, it might not against a good Atlanta team this Sunday.

“I think people, just by nature – football fans, coaches, players do the same things - think the answer to everything is to just blitz,” Spagnuolo said. “That’s not necessarily true, especially when you’re playing a pretty good quarterback. This guy this past weekend was a good quarterback but we felt like we could do some things. They had an injury in the o-line early and that made a difference and we were cognizant of that.

“But going into this next game, I don’t know what it will be.”
