The Saints are 2-2, and things are looking better than what we as fans are used to this time a year. The defense has shown promise and should only get better as the season progresses. This is obviously a big difference from what we have seen in recent years. Another thing that has been different for Sean Payton and company are the struggles from the offense. Guys like Drew Brees and Michael Thomas have been outstanding, but outside of that the performances have been ranging from bad to above average.
One of the key reasons for this has been the run game.
