Will Smith Stats - New Orleans Saints - ESPN
That is exactly why we need another DE on the other side to pressure the QB. When Smith has help he is impossible to stop. That would be like asking any starting DE in the league to get it done on there own. It's not possible, it always needs to be a combined effort. The sacks he did get this year were when Harper or some other DB or free safety was blitzing the QB. Smith would be a horrible player to waste. Trust me, if we could get a quality DE on the other side his numbers would increase exponentialy.
