Grady Jackson- Grady had 5.5 sacks last year and that's good for a defensive tackle, especially for his size. This year he will play along side either Sullivan or Kenny Smith, which will open things up even more for him. He will be a force for us both rushing the passer and stopping the run this year.

Kenny Smith- This is where I stick my neck out here. I think Smith has a chance to go to the Probowl this year. He's a bigger version of Le Roi Glover. Look for big things out of him this year. Haslett likes this guy and with good reason.

Johnathan Sullivan: This guy wasn't picked 6th overall for nothing. This position is about speed and power more than anything else, which he has plenty of both. He will make an impact this year.

We only need two of these guys to step up and I think all 3 can and will. What the Panthers did last year was not magic. They brought in fast and talented players on defense. That's exactly what the Saints have done.

You put these guys on the line with Grant on one side and Howard on the other and you've got all the makings for a top 5 defense.

You put Dale Carter, Mel Mitchell, Tebucky Jones, Ashley Ambrose, behind them and you get a lot of passes picked off from Qb's hurring their throws.

Bring on the Falcons, Bucs, and Panthers. They are in for a rude awakening. Plus we have one of the best offenses and special teams in the league. This is the year......
