"....The read and react era of New Orleans Saints defense officially ended in January with the acquisition of Defensive Coordinator Gregg Williams, regarded by many as one of the most respected strategists in the game.
The 19-year NFL veteran, who has overseen top 10 defenses in five-of-the-past nine seasons, is looking to reconstruct a dismal defense that ranked 23rd and allowed 339.5 points a game during the 2008 regular season.....
...Saints owner initially thought that Williams was too expensive, but head coach Sean Payton was so impressed with the defensive mind that Payton took a voluntary $250,000 salary cut to help facilitate his signing with the team.
Williams active, complex style of defense will be music to the ears of Saints Fans in the Dome and just might push the Saints over the top in 2009.
