Really?
And who are these pass rushing titans on this team now? IIRC, the d-line has 1 sack in 3 games so far. They barely touched the Rams scrub QB last week.
And please don't tell me Spencer is going to come from off the rehab table to dominate this Sunday.
I did not say they are "titans"
I said we have better players than in that game last year. They are still learning this system as well as each other. But overall as a group they are better. Saints may not know who they can key on first to stop any pass rush, although been ok, but not great, just not the amount of sacks we all hoped for.
Yes they watched film, will game plan for they think may be the biggest threat. But last year they knew who was, an injured Ware. This year, is different, healthier players, and Marinelli just may have his own plans.
Do I expect this defense to dominate the game, no not even close, but maybe they can be better than the rag tag group from last year. Maybe they have another horrible outing, maybe not. But I think it will be a totally different game that last years. For the better. Not saying we win, but can't see a blow out, though crap does happen at times.
