The way Baltimore got after the quarterback in the first five weeks probably popped off the screen when the New Orleans Saints coaching staff watched Ravens' defensive film during the bye last week.

But then there was the sixth game against Tennessee, when Baltimore ravaged its way to more sacks (11) than it allowed completed passes (10). If it was not completely obvious before, the Ravens ability to harass opposing passers definitely has the Saints attention now.

The first words spoken by Saints coach Sean Payton when he was asked what stood out to him about the Ravens' defense: "Certainly their pass rush."

That is a Baltimore pass rush that recorded 11 sacks last week against the Tennessee Titans, breaking a record for a franchise known for its defense.



"I'm impressed, man," said Saints left tackle Terron Armstead. "Regardless of how they got them or what it looked like, you're getting to a quarterback 11 times you're doing something correct."

It is a pass rush that has recorded an NFL-high 26 sacks in six games this season -- 16 of which have come in the last two games. It has powered a Ravens defense that leads the NFL in both total yards and scoring.

"They've been playing really good defense," said right tackle Ryan Ramczyk. "We know coming into this week it's going to be a challenge, so we've got to prepare really well. We know what we're in for."

Re: Saints set to face a challenge against stout Baltimore pass rush

But how about that Saints run D? ...

If new DC for the Ravens "blitz", Brees will pick em apart. Coverage? We'll burn em. Offensively, Flacco isn't a"quick strike" ball club.

We have a great offensive mind going to Baltimore on Sunday.

Preparation, good film study, solid week of practice & no turnovers = win for the Saints and we keep rolling.

Don't forget, TWO weeks of preparation. Payton has certainly had plenty of time to come up with ways to confuse that Ravens' defense.

Look tough defense but they've also benefited from playing the two worst offenses in the league...so have to keep things in perspective. Bungals put up 30+ on them. Grant it the Bungals were at home.

They've been shuffling Meredith and Thomas in the slot with a dab of Carr and a shift from Kamara a couple few times a game.
