Shy "Ninja" Tuttle, Granderson & Glasgow and bringing it in the rotation. I thought Marcus Williams played extremely well on yesterday.

Even though Atlanta is struggling record wise, they are a top passing attack that was for the most part bottled up by the stingy Saints defense.

Keep grinding.

none of the past matters. nice that we are "ranked" #1 defense, but we've not faced the toughest teams on our schedule, yet. Chiefs and Vikes. Talk about what we're good at after we have faced a competent offense.

Our Dawgs are ready to hunt Eagles! Don't tell anyone. I think it's illegal to hunt Eagles. Godhell would really give us hell if he found out.

In my mind, Marcus has to be solid vs KC & subsequent playoff run if he expects to be re signed in New Orleans.

The numbers don’t look great for Latt but his play impressed me. Ridley made some unbelievable catches in the game. Latt did well considering the degree of difficulty on some of the receptions.

In my opinion this is where the game will be decided. If Marcus can keep Dat backend a no fly zone, we’ll be good.

Marcus Wiliams is currently ranked the 6th best safety in the NFL among 90 qualifiers according to PFF.

I have bad dreams of tireek hill blowing by Marcus on his way to the end zone. And it really wakes me up.
