I remember while watching both those games, particularly the game against the Cardinals, and thinking how I'd seldom seen a team go after quarterbacks the way the Saints were. I also thought some roughing penalties should have been called, especially the way they kept hitting Kurt Warner.

These penalties are appropriate and there should also be some penalties for the players involved. There was a story about how Peyton Mannings' initial neck injury happened after rough hits in a Redskins game when Williams was the defensive coordinator.
Real defenses know how to tackle.

I agree with you 100 percent.Don’t get me wrong, I know football is a rough game and I love that about it. But the football I started watching about 40 years ago involved a lot more tackling than what I see today. Now all they seem to be able to do is go for the big hit. It is becoming more thuggish every year.
I hope they dole out some harsh penalties for the players involved as well.
