ESPN Article on Saints secondary

The Saints' defense sent the standard four pass-rushers 71 percent of the time last year, ranking them 24th in the NFL in frequency of blitzes.


That's a good philosophy. Have bad corners that can't cover very well? Well don't blitz, you might hurry the QB and make him throw earlier! We blitzed against Seattle, and it worked. Then seemed to hardly try it anymore.

We blitzed the hell out of the Eagles and got creamed. McNabb had his best game of the season.

I don't think there was any magic formula last year. We just needed better players.
