Because they can't possibly get any worse?

Re: 5 Reasons Why Saints Defense Will Be Better in 2016
Our defense looks like a mid-tier unit right now. If we catch a few breaks we could finish in the teens.

I'm glad they have gone out and specifically tried to upgrade the front 7, particular interior D line and outside linebacker

Just need to wait for preseason to see how the injury report shakes out.

Re: 5 Reasons Why Saints Defense Will Be Better in 2016
Browner being gone should count for at least 1 maybe 2 more wins alone

Re: 5 Reasons Why Saints Defense Will Be Better in 2016
I think it's really pretty simple, can this group create turnovers or not. Historically, Sean Payton's defenses is usually some version of a bend but don't break trying to set up for the big turnover. If this group of guys can stop opposing offenses a few times per game, then we may be looking at 9 to 10 wins and a possible playoff spot. If this group of guys can create turnovers then we are looking at completing for a division title and maybe a first round bye.
