After further Review: Examining why the Saints defense stinks
1 Attachment(s)
When scanning the defensive rankings for the New Orleans Saints, one will see a lot of numbers in the high 20s and low 30s, which is numerical code for this:
The Saints defense has been one of the league's major flops after two weeks. New Orleans came into 2014 as a Super Bowl pick by many, and not just because of Drew Brees and the offense. This was to be the year that the Saints took their defense to a higher level, perhaps becoming one of the best units in the league. So far, it's been anything but. Here are the Saints rankings 30th in total defense 32nd against the pass 29th in yards per play 29th in sacks per pass play 27th in third-down efficiency 31st in points per game.

The D has to get it going. During pre-season they looked great, what has happened to them. The article is dead on about our lb.'s being slow, they are.

Even when we do get pressure of the QB we still allow him to escape the pocket, the D line is not working together
Akiem hicks needs to get a bigger push upfront so the QB cannot step up or escape through the line, that in turn will let junior and Cam get to him from the outside. |

He ranks 6th in YPG He ranks 7th in completion % We rank 14th best in Time of Possession We rank #3 in Total Offense We rank #3 in Points Per Game I just don't understand how anyone can say they're equal in blame. |

Points per game - 3rd best Total yards - 3rd best Pass yards - 278.0 per game - 6th best Rushing yards - 156.5 per game - 5th best 3rd down conversions - 57.69% - Tops in the league Yes our offense could have done better at the end of the browns game when we needed a field goal, but when you have an offense that scores 30 points per game, nearly 60% of the time converts third downs, its the defense that is losing you games |
