Forecast: Key to Saints stretch run is the run defense

The more I think about it the more I believe the most important thing they need to do is improve their run defense. They are 30th in yards per rush (allowing 5.0 yards per carry). The reason teams haven’t been able to run them over is opponents only average 23 rushes per game against the Saints. It's hard to keep running the ball when Brees just dropped a three-score deficit on you.
