If you trust your defense to stop the Saints after the punt...why wouldnt you trust them to stop them in your own end? And with the way Deuce had been running the ball down their throats......it was just a mind-boggling call to give the ball up on what turned out to be your last possesion.

Good point that was a very poor call. If they didn't convert 4th and 15 they would have to get a 3 and out, just like what he signed up for with the punt, at least if they went for it they would have had a chance of converting and continuing their drive.
