Vilma says don't sleep on Saints' D

Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma joined the show to discuss their 6-0 start.

Dan asked Vilma if he was upset so many people talked about New Orleans' offense instead of the defense.

"As long as people talk about our offense, they may sleep on [our defense]," Vilma said.

Vilma said the close road win over the Dolphins last week was more gratifying than the big win over the Giants.
Vilma also had interesting comments on their win over the Jets. He said that quarterback Mark Sanchez called him after his illegal chop-block a few weeks ago. Vilma was impressed by the rookie quarterback.

Vilma wouldn't go on record saying the Saints will reach the Super Bowl. Vilma said that he isn't trying to think like that. "It's really hard for us to drown out the media, because they're talking about playoff seeding," Vilma said.

Vilma previewed New Orleans' upcoming game against Atlanta. He said the Falcons have a great offense and Tony Gonzalez poses a problem.
