With James L at the MIKE, I think guys will be aligned up & in position to make plays on a regular basis. IMO Byrd is still a play-maker. He will be better because our team defense will be much improved. As for Vonn .. he is fresh out of college & it will take time to transition. He is not at The Ohio State anymore but competition should be good. I'm expecting big things from J Byrd this season. |

Rankins looks like a solid player, but will he have the same success week-in, week-out or will his numbers come in bunches against lesser opponents and be "trapped blocked" or flat-out blown out the holes by better players? At the end of it all, see more of the feast or famine defense with a lot of stress on Laurinaitis and the linebackers while praying the secondary can bail out the defense on third and longs... |

Open field enforcers is not exactly a strong suit of theirs.
If our FS are called upon to stop the run it will be a long season. A true run stopping DT/NT needs to be found. That is why I have been beating the drum for years for a true NT. which brings me right back to my previous post. Hoping and praying for the best. I am not so hopeful. Even if Byrd is healthy and plays all 18 games I still do not see a SS on the team that complements his skill sets. Actually they all take him out of his game. Then again I have yet to see the new guys so I am not completely in the dumps. |

Having Anthony's speed at the SAM and letting him read, react with his speed will definitely improve the exposure issues of the secondary in the run game... |

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
Stunts work well when a team respect your bull rushing skills. Bull rushing and run stuffing at DT at this point in time looks to be lacking. Stunting on a trap play is a death sentence.
Anthony at Sam? he too depends on the NT/DT play. you know the chain reaction down the DL. |

Re: 2016 New Orleans Saints: Roster Outlook
Wow, I'm much more optimistic about our front seven than I'm about our secondary, but PFF has other ideas - Saints Front Seven ranks 29th and the Secondary ranks 15th (guess they're really impressed with Del Breaux)...
