He was co-DC with Rob and ended up as DC here last season, now he has a co-DC to share with this season. Very unproven, more hype in my opionion. Guess we'll see. Getting us in the 25 range want get it.
After Ryan, everybody's gonna love this guy! At least until the season starts.

could care less what he did as the hc of a team. there are many guys that are good d coords and not good head coaches. Also, I think he did really well in denver considering the frigan offense they have. they wont a playoff game with teabag, are you kidding me?

Re: 5 Reasons Why Saints Defense Will Be Better in 2016

We'll have a better season for 3 reasons:

1.) More talent on the defensive side of the ball. Last year the only proven commodities were Keenan Lewis and Cameron Jordan. Now we have Laurenitis, Anthony, Fairley, Robertson and Breaux that we know can produce. On hustle alone this team defense will be no lower than 20th.

2.) More overall depth. If Keenan goes down(which I do not want to happen) we have PJ Williams, Kyle Wilson and Damian Swann who can step in. We have more defensive linemen who can rotate in to keep players fresh and our talent at Linebacker is Infinitely Better.

3.) We have talented young studs who are rookies and 2nd year players in Rankins, Bell, Kikaha, Tull, Williams and Swann. Plus we have Michael Thomas on offense to complete our missing piece: A big receiver to make the tough catch. Remember the 1st Carolina game we had Carolina beat but Josh Norman outjumped Brandon Cooks for the ball. This year that doesn't happen. This year Michael Thomas highpoints the ball and comes down with it. TD Saints!! Ball Game over!!

Re: 5 Reasons Why Saints Defense Will Be Better in 2016

Seriously speaking, rotation should be HUGE. Keep those BIG GUYS in the trenches FRESH. This is what I'd like to see...

1st and 2nd downs :
Rankins/St. Nick
Cam Jordan
John Jenkins
David Oyemata/Bobby Richardson

On 3rd down ...
Add Kikaha / Tull & rotate JJenkins out.

Keep your eye on Oyemata at camp. This guy has the potential to be very disruptive.

Love the idea of that! Our D line as a whole could be one of our strengths!

All of this would be great but it will be all for naught if our offense somehow manages to take a step back. Its going to take our offense staying in the top 5 along with a signifigent improvement on defense to be a real threat.

Again, Allen did not really show the improvement after Ryan left enough. That could be in part due to a inefficient offense in the first half.
