Bill Barnwell’s not a fan of Saints defensive trio

I haven't been impressed with our D at all. They are singlehandedly responsible for us not being contenders. I hope I'm wrong about Allen or he may just get lucky with all the picks we have gotten in the last 2 drafts but in a deep playoff game I don't see him cutting it. I do think we have good talent on the D but bringing it out will be another thing. We'll see!!

Neither have I but let's flip it & see the bright side of what we can look forward to in 2016 (specifically defense):

A new defensive tackle
2 new safeties (one wiley vet)
3 new linebackers
3 fresh draft picks who are expected to make contributions early
2 draft picks from last season coming off a "redshirt" (PJ, show me what you got!)

But my favorite (brace yourself)... an aggressive yet simplified defensive scheme.

This is why I'm more excited about training camp than in years before. Hopefully the Saints make Bill eat his words
