Yes, but if our D plays to their capability I think we can give them 
fits. Granted I don't think they'll ever be as good as the unit with T. 
Harris and Brown but I don't think they played their best game against 
Seattle. In comparison the Saints O played a good game against Philly, 
plus they won't be on a fast surface this time.

I think a larger key is how good the Saints' D can actually play. I keep 
hearing the word "underrated" thrown around by the media even though the 
general perception is that their front 7 aren't as good as Seattle's. 
Philly did pretty well against them, posting 24 points, and even without 
the 62 yarder Westbrook still averaged 4.5 YPC. With Good Rex our 
offense (as a whole) is better than Philly's so I think we will be able 
to answer if the Saints start putting up points.
