At this point, the defense will need start scoring points
in order to put teams away.

I appreciate seeing these number comparisons. A few posters here have said that Jordan is having a terrible year but I had no argument for or against that argument. This shows that he's as disruptive as ever but doesn't have the sack numbers to go with the pressures.
Regardless, this D-line is improved from last year and it's great to see.

Would be nice if we lead the league in spying on QB's

It's crazy that the best QB the Saints have played all season is CJ Stroud.

+8 turnover differential should be equating to 7-2, not 5-4.

I need to see this team win consistently.

I remember when we used to get pressure blitzing almost every down. What happened to that successful strategy? Our front four still isn't getting the job done. It's almost ike DA doesn't trust the secondary when he blitzes the QB and we're not getting the pressure we need to affect the play. Yeah, we might get pressure now and then, but the QB makes a nice run or roll out and completion to counter the pressure. I miss Ellis as a blitzer. Baun is blitzing but he's not getting home.

We'd get burned deep.

I agree with Saleh here. Sacks are great when you get them, but pressure can kill drives on its own.
