Re: Preview of Saints vs. Vikings
 

After having time to really take things in, our defense isn't as bad as it looks right now. Our defense looked terrible in game one (missed tackles, blown coverage, bad scheme,etc). Our defense looked a little out of sync in week 2 but not terrible. Now I know we didn't make the plays we needed to win but if you look at what we actually gave up the defense wasn't terrible. The defense only gave up 2 TD's and some field goals (one field goal being missed and re-kicked due to a penalty).

A little over 200 yards passing (most of that came on the last drive) and 123 yards rushing. Not great but far from horrific. I believe our defense will get better. I think a lot of our troubles are scheme related and one or 2 personnel issues which can be sorted out. I know we didn't get the result we wanted but I think there was improvement. Now the question is can we continue to improve to get to where we want to be.

I love it when we score points especially when we score more than the other team.....oh, that's right we haven't done that yet.
Defense, Offense they both need to step up from here on out.
