Good to know that some players are performing well, but big picture our defense hasn't been very good (currently rank #18) over the last few weeks.

Tackling was poor vs the Bucs.

Defensive power rankings

Usual suspects (Niners, Eagles, Bills, Chiefs, Dallas) at the top.

One should wonder the affect of the defense spending so much time out there on the field due to the inability of the offense to maintain drives. Even the best defenses can get worn down when their offensive counterparts aren't doing their job. The one critique that I have had on the Saints over the past couple of years has been Carmichael's lack of production, whether that be in play design and/or play calling.
