Comparing Saints Defense to SF Defense and our future games with Panthers

Looking a yards per carry can also be deceptive, for instance, game 1, we gave up 77 yards to Jackson on 11 carries, a YPC of 7, yet the reality was he broke off a 50 yard run and was 10 carries for 2.7 on the 10 others. So 10 times out of 11 we held him to an average of less than 3 yards.

Same with Jets game, Ivory had 139 yards on 18 carries, yet 109 came on 3 runs with missed tackles, so he went 15 carries for 30 yards on the other 15 plays.

I know that's a little oversimplification, but just trying to point out that Saints defense usually has been in place to make plays and has made them the majority of the time and was back to just two missed tackles last game. When they are not missing tackles, the run defense has been really good,
