A few short takes from New Orleans Coach Sean Payton’s Wednesday teleconference:
1. In a league where offenses have thrived the last several years – especially in the passing game – Seattle remains one of the top pass defenses in the league. The Seahawks allow 226 passing yards per game this season, ninth fewest in the NFL. Last season, they allowed 210.2, second-fewest in the league; two and three years ago, it was 185.6 and 172, respectively, which were fewest in the league; and in 2012, it was 203.1, sixth fewest.
“When you watch the tape it’s really two things,” Payton said. “They’re very talented, and I would say they’ve got outstanding technique. They’re playing a little bit of man-to-man, but you see a lot of zone coverage. It forces you to come underneath with throws. I think that combination of coverage and what they’re able to do with their rush plans make it extremely challenging.”
