Defensive effort the past 5 weeks

Thought it would be beneficial to show the improvement the D has made recently, although now our D is playing well the offense decides to repeatedly turn the ball over.

Saints vs Chiefs

First half - 14 points allowed by the D, 7 more on Brees' pick 6
Second half - D allows 2 FG's - 6 points

Saints vs Seattle

First half - 7 points allowed, Seattle got another 7 from Ingram's fumble return
Second half - D allows 2 FG's - 6 points

Saints vs 49ers

First half - D blew some coverages, allowed 20 first half points
Second half - D allows 1 FG - 3 points

Saints vs Broncos

D struggled a little but you can't blame them when we turned the ball over 4 times, 3 times inside our own half

First Half - 10 points allowed
Second half - 15 points, 2 of them were the XP return that won the game

Saints vs Panthers

Brees turns the ball over twice in our own half

First half - 20 points allowed - 7 from the blocked FG attempt
Second half - 1 FG allowed - 3 points

From those games here are notable points

KC game - 320 total yards, but 0 sacks gained
Seattle game - 359 yards allowed, 1 sack and 1 interception
SF game - 485 yards allowed, 1 sack, 1 interception and 3 fumbles forced
Denver game - 337 yards allowed, 6 sacks, 2 interceptions
Panthers game - 223 yard allowed, 2 sacks


There is definitely improvement there, Nick Fairley is a disruptive force in the middle and the D line as a whole has played better since Sheldon Rankins came back.

It's just unfortunate that when the D plays better, the O feels they have to test them by turning the ball over multiple times in our own half.
