This Years Pass Rush

With the depth, youth, and experience we have at defensive line there is reason to get excited about this unit. We also have speed at the LB position. When you combine the two, it should give the front seven a steady and able pass rush this year.

Dan Pompei of Sporting News has glowing thoughts regarding our chances this year.

"The fastest nickel pass-rush unit in the league this year could belong to the Saints. Their nickel line will contain first-round pick Will Smith and Charles Grant at end, with Es Darren Howard and Willie Whitehead moving inside to tackle. In a special third-and-long package called Delta, the Saints will play Smith and OLB Derrick Rodgers at end and Howard and Grant at tackle. . . . "

Here's to hoping we see plenty of the DELTA package this year as that will mean we will have the opponents offense in third and long.
