Over the last two games the Saints defense has allowed...vs league average for the season Total Yards/game - 237 - 1st Points/game - 6.5 - 1st Passing yards/game - 160 - 3rd Rushing yards/game - 95 - 15th Yards/att passing - 5.2 - 1st Yards/att rushing - 5.1 - 31st Sacks per game - 4 - 2nd Obviously, the Saints played two rushing oriented offenses and the yards/attempt still sucks. Luckily, the flow of the games mandated the teams abandon the run and work through the air which played to the strength of the defense. Again, this is just cherry picking for fun. The Saints played two terrible offenses. But it's better to look good against terrible offenses than look bad. As far as turnovers, for the season... There are 6 teams left that haven't recovered a fumble. The Saints are in a seven way tie for 6th in the league with 4 interceptions. The Saints are the only team that hasn't turned the ball over so far this season. The Saints are still in the bottom half of the league in total take aways. Putting us in a 3 way tie for 4th with a +4 turnover differential. |

Re: Saints Defensive stats after week 4
Nailed it.
Winning the turnover battle ... that's a good way to ensure a post season ticket. Trending upward. Keep grinding. Edit - that 2009 SB winning team ranked third in the turnover diff category. http://www.footballdb.com/stats/turnovers.html?yr=2009 |
