Here is a small stat that may give some insight as to how other teams see/play our defense.
Opponent 4th down attempts 24 attempts 52.4% success rate - Saints (our opponents go for it on 4th down more than any other defense in the league, and make it more than 1/2 the time) That's an average of 1 successful drive per game being extended on 4th down. That's twice a game opponents are electing to not punt or kick a FG and rather risk going for a 1st. Something just doesn't correlate between that stat and being the #1 defense in the league or being a shut down defense. |
