Is PFF credible in football? ... maybe. Gospel? Certainly not. Just my .02. |

But it's still a fair mean in assessment; so let's look at the NFL statistical production... NFL Statistics for Saints Interior Defenders 81.0 DT Tyeler Davison, 5th round pick, 26 Tkl, 10 Ast, 0 Sks, 3 TFL, 1 FF 80.9 DT David Onyemata, 4th round pick, 24 Tkl, 8 Ast, 3 Sks, 3 TFL, 0 FF 80.7 DT Sheldon Rankins, 1st round pick, 19 Tkl, 9 Ast, 2 Sks, 3 TFL, 1 FF My point is not to antagonize or win an argument for the sake of winning an argument, but to illustrate and highlight this - We're simply not getting what we need from a first round pick, high first round pick... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Re: Saints could have deepest defensive line they've had in years if everything pans out
I'm secretly very excited about Jay Bromley. He looks like another under the radar signing that may have an impact.
Man....we miss Fairley. Rankins and Fairley had such great potential to do great things. Especially with our current secondary in place and an improved LB'er core. |

Either way, we win. I'm also curious about Woodrow Hamilton, who looks bigger, could do; am still curious that Johnathan Hankins remains un-signed as well... |

Re: Saints could have deepest defensive line they've had in years if everything pans out
Possibly his asking price. I don't see a whole lot of teams that will be willing to cough over 8, 9M per season + he's hasn't been the most healthy guy either.

Payton would've spent Benson's money in a second, it's either some off-the-field or locker-room-attitude BS or something they don't like about his skill set...
