Made the plays when it counted!

Luke nailed in this article. One of his best and he is really good to begin with.

It's a must read!

I really wish Taysom and the offense could have socked the game away, but I'll gladly take the win.

Re: Saints defense shows its backbone with crucial red zone stop in final 2 minutes
 

There's the other way to look at this. If Taysom and the offense puts the game away, there's no need for defensive heroics. Glad the defense is stepping it up. It is a team game after all.

Re: Saints defense shows its backbone with crucial red zone stop in final 2 minutes
 

Defense did great to stop them twice on the back foot.

Offense needs to do a better job sealing the game, that second Taysom fumble had "scoop and score" written all over it. Luckily for us it went out of bounds.

Me too I guess but I have longed for the day when we can put the game in the hands of the defense and feel like we are still in good shape.

The usual suspects show up every week. DD, Cam, David O, Trey etc., but the role players are making a huge impact.

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.

Our defense is so much fun to watch. Just imagine how pumped they would be in front of full Dome screaming Who Dat!

Re: Saints defense shows its backbone with crucial red zone stop in final 2 minutes
 

Marcus Williams played great. He was fast and in the right place. Where is THAT guy every week?

Re: Saints defense shows its backbone with crucial red zone stop in final 2 minutes
 

Kwon Alexander made TE Hayden Hurst a ghost on yesterday.

Loomis gave up a 5th and Kiko in exchange for a above average LB?

I'd say we won that trade by a landslide.

They are attacking. Flying around (kinda) like a bunch of crazed dogs. I love it.

Re: Saints defense shows its backbone with crucial red zone stop in final 2 minutes
 

C'mon Man!! Dogs?!!!!
Get with the vernacular!!!
It's DAWG, POUND THE ROCK, BATTLE IN THE TRENCHES, BIG UGLIES, TEE OFF, AND THE EVER POPULAR BEASTS!!!

AND ALWAYS FALL BACK OF THE "FOUR HOARSEMEN OF BNG" COULD'A WOULD'A SHOULD'A AND WHAT IF!!

Re: Saints defense shows its backbone with crucial red zone stop in final 2 minutes
 

Not sure if this is accurate, but ESPN shows the Saints D ranked #1 in total defense

Re: Saints defense shows its backbone with crucial red zone stop in final 2 minutes
 

They are #1 in my book.:bng:

Re: Saints defense shows its backbone with crucial red zone stop in final 2 minutes
 

It is correct.

Re: Saints defense shows its backbone with crucial red zone stop in final 2 minutes
 

I hope they pressure Jalen Hurts all game.

He tends to take off more so than drop back in his limited snaps in Philly.

Re: Saints defense shows its backbone with crucial red zone stop in final 2 minutes
 

TRex will pay him a visit or two.

Re: Saints defense shows its backbone with crucial red zone stop in final 2 minutes
 

What's scary is that our defense still has a level it hasn't reached yet. If Lattimore can go from being one of the worst graded corners in the league to at least average, it could get nasty.

Re: Saints defense shows its backbone with crucial red zone stop in final 2 minutes
 

Re: Saints defense shows its backbone with crucial red zone stop in final 2 minutes
 

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.

Re: Saints defense shows its backbone with crucial red zone stop in final 2 minutes
 

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. :wink:

Re: Saints defense shows its backbone with crucial red zone stop in final 2 minutes
 

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

Kudos Guido !

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.

Re: Saints defense shows its backbone with crucial red zone stop in final 2 minutes
 

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.

Re: Saints defense shows its backbone with crucial red zone stop in final 2 minutes
 

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

Re: Saints defense shows its backbone with crucial red zone stop in final 2 minutes
 

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

Take a page from Denver's defensive game plan. Vic Fangio slowed him down last week.

I'd double Hill.
