Well look who decided to show up!

Hello defense, it's nice to see you.  You've been away awhile. Can you stay longer? Inquiring minds want to know.
They want to know if defense that sent the Monsters of the Midway back to Chicago with their tails between their legs has awaken from their winter slumber or just hit the snooze button. 
Either way you cannot deny that last Sunday was the stuff Greg WIlliams dreams of.  His defense won the battle of down and distance then sent the dogs on Jay Cutler. It did help that Cutler had less moves than Carson Kressley on Dancing with the Stars.  But it was the pass rush that got the music playing in his head.  It only took a couple more "remember me" shots before he shut down and sought isolation on the sidelines.  You could almost forgive Cutler for his demeanor as his offensive line was nonexistent and anyone without the name Matt Forte contributed nothing.  But he is a child.  It doesn't take much to rattle him.
On the other hand, Jabari Greer continues to show that he's the class of the Saints corner backs.  I must also point out that Roman Harper played his best game as a Saint.  With Malcom Jenkins playing at a pro bowl level, if the secondary can get that kind of production on a weekly basis, there will be more QBs searching for asylum on the sidelines.
That's a big if. 
The Houston Texans are up next after beating up on two AFC weaklings.  Matt Schaub is a good QB with more composure and more weapons than Cutler and DaBears.   WR Andre Johnson and RB Arian Foster are as good as there is.  The Texans are the AFC's version of the Saints before the Super Bowl.  Like the Saints then, they are more dangerous now because they can play without fear of a turnover or big penalty now that their defense finally has their back.
So another big test awaits the Saints defense.  After facing the two participants of the last season's NFC chamionship game in weeks one and two, it doesn't get much easier.  But that's life in the NFL. You don't get to hit the snooze button.

Speaking of defense, LSU plays it.  After dominating two of the most prolific offenses in the nation they get to travel to Morgantown to play the West Virginia Mountaineers.  WVU QB Geno Smith will be the best QB the Tigers have faced up to this point, maybe the best all season.  He has size, mobility and arm strength.  He will play in the NFL. 
New head coach Dana Horgelson is a disciple of  former Texas Tech head coach Mike Leach and former Kentucky head coach Hal Mumme.  He's had stops as OC at Texas Tech, U of Houston and Oklahoma St and has been hugely successful. He brings that spread offense to Morgantown and if anyone remembers Texas Tech under Leach  or Kentucky under Mumme, it gives defenses fits.  Holgorsen's numbers with Texas Tech and Houston are scarey, but his biggest impact came at Oklahoma St where in his first season as OC, they surged from 61st in the nation to #1 in total offense.  It ain't no fluke, this guy can run an offense.
But he hasn't faced a defense like LSU's. Ever.  LSU's defensive speed can't be sensed on tape nor can it be duplicated at practice.  Fast and physical beats fast and finesse 10 out of 10 times. 
Then there's LSU's ball control pound the rock offense.  With a huge OL leaning on the undersized DL of WVU and those DBs used to chasing WRs not tackling bull dozers,  look for an TKO in the 3rd quarter and the #2 ranked Tigers cruising to victory.
