If he can slow down the Saints offense ANY, it will be marked improvement from the first half of the season. It's weird to say this, but holding the Saints to under 31 would be a victory in my eyes for the defense.

Doesn't matter how they do it, whether they improve on 3rd down, or just find a way to cause some turnovers. ANYTHING will be a win.

I'm going with about a 6.7% chance this actually happens, BUT, it would definitely instill some confidence moving forward if this Defense can force at least 1 (please 2 or more) punts.

Despite W or L, what would be a 'victory' for Austin and the D in your eyes this upcoming weekend?

1.) Sack Brees three times
2.) Hold the Saints under 40% on third downs
3.) Hold Saints under 300 yards passing
