That offense is good but we'll see how the defense holds up.

Agreed. It'll take more than 3 games for me to hop on the defense bandwagon, but it's definitely been a stretch of football we haven't seen in quite some time.

The Saints won today, on the back of their running game and defense. This isn't the same Saints team of the last 3 years.

I'd feel a lot better if we didn't get smacked like rag dolls vs the eagles and despite the score we got dominated

Saints are a better team than us I hate to say until Shula gets head out of a$$ .

they are fast on offense and defense it looks like a different tempo than us.

The Eagles got 2 VERY short-field TDs.

What I do know is they're playing fast, disciplined defense for the first time since 2013.

Does it seem AJ Klein has been a factor in solidifying Saints D?  I've not heard a lot of talk about how he's fitting into the Saints, but saw a tweet or two by him which suggests he's excited about his new opportunities and team. Love to see him do well, but sure wish it wasn't with a division rival!

I think it would be silly not to give Klein some credit. He's got the earpiece. He's making the calls on defense and getting people lined up, something the Saints have really struggled with the last few years. He's nothing fantastic. Solid, I would say. Makes some plays. Misses some. But, by far, the least confused defense we've had in a while.
