Team Speed on the Saints

How about Pierre Thomas? I thought he looked great so far.



The defense is transitioning into new schemes and so forth, but at the same time they don't look like they have fully transformed as they are still blitzing and not tackling as effectively. Once again, it takes time. Spags isn't going to cure everything over night, and this team isn't stacked on a level of defensive dominance.

Atlanta's defense looked scary last night but no one is looking at Peyton Manning. He was forcing the ball around when he threw those picks. Denver came into that game wanting to air it out, as Peyton is famous for and you can't always win one dimensional like that. Peyton also isn't working with All Star wide receivers anymore, as he's used to forcing it between two defenders to a guy like Wayne. I'm also a bit disappointed in Atlanta's defense. 3 picks in the first quarter, they did great on turnovers, and then they let the Broncos come back and nearly win.
