Saints Defensive Line Shows Huge Improvement
These numbers really jump out after just two games.
2022 after two weeks: 11 pressures and 1 sack 2023 after two weeks: 48 pressures and 7 sacks |

Re: Saints Defensive Line Shows Huge Improvement
So far I would say the rebuild of the DL is successful.

Re: Saints Defensive Line Shows Huge Improvement
And this is something really special that needs repeated.
The Saints defense just broke the all-time record held by the Dome Patrol Saints (nine games) by holding 10 straight opponents to 20 or fewer points! That is also the longest current streak in the NFL. Edit: And this in an era where the offense gets all the breaks. |
Re: Saints Defensive Line Shows Huge Improvement
The sack fumble by Bresee was an amazing play, Adebo just needs to stop getting so grabby.
|
Re: Saints Defensive Line Shows Huge Improvement
As I mentioned before the season, this IS an elite defense. Definitely top 5.
|
Re: Saints Defensive Line Shows Huge Improvement
Bresee, Saunders, and Shepard were well scouted and fit this team nicely and are making impact plays. Nice job Jeff Ireland.

This is coming from great perspective.

Dennis Allen seems to know how to build the defense he wants.

Re: Saints Defensive Line Shows Huge Improvement
Good defensive group but getting very little
help from the offense. At this point, the defense will need start scoring points in order to put teams away. |
Re: Saints Defensive Line Shows Huge Improvement
D line couldn't really get to Jordan Love today.
He made them look like they were standing still, and I mean before the 4th quarter |
Re: Saints Defensive Line Shows Huge Improvement
Our Defense couldn’t hold them at ZERO. Our offense couldn’t score more than 3 points (+10 from special teams), our kicker couldn’t kick a game winning 3 pointer. Our beloved Saints are woefully out-managed and out-coached yet again, and we beloved fans are strapped in for yet another substandard season. WHODAT FOR LIFE !!!

Regardless, this D-line is improved from last year and it's great to see. |
Re: Saints Defensive Line Shows Huge Improvement
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. |
Re: Saints Defensive Line Shows Huge Improvement
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.

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