Rankins and Onyemata rank 18th and 15th, respectively, in overall grade among the 76 at the position with 300-plus defense snaps through Week 13. Most recently, Rankins and Onyemata combined for six pressures and nine defensive stops en route to 92.5 and 88.8 single-game grades in a losing effort against the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday Night Football in Week 13.

Both played like animals last night. The whole front 7 did. It's a terrible shame to have wasted such a good game from those guys. The O line needs to atone for their fubar performance in a big way. I want to see holes you could drive a truck through, and I better never ever ever ever see Drew hurried and hit so much again.

We are another solid CB (maybe two) away from possibly becoming a stud defense.

Daniel was very, very good last night.

This front 7 continues to impress.

Want to see how Apple progresses, he needs to be playing more bump and run. I think our biggest need is at safety. Williams has been a massive disappointment and done nothing to deserve the starting role without question. Sometimes I get the feeling that fans think Williams shouldn’t be questioned as the starter but I wouldn’t mind Banjo taking over.

Marcus Williams hasn't played that bad, that's. Hell of a exaggeration

Marcus had a heck of a rookie season & has been decent as a sophomore this year. Now if you had said STRONG SAFETY (Kurt I'm talking about you), then I'd agree but not Marcus. He's gonna be one hell of a FS once we figure it out at island 2 opposite Lattimore.

Williams is a bonafide ball hawk. He is a stud. Von Bell, Kurt Coleman and BANJO are not in his league. I understand you're upset with Williams for..........well you know. I like Banjo too, but if he ever beats out Marcus Williams as the Saints starting free safety, Ill be pretty impressed. This thread started on Rankins and Onyemata. Along with Cam, Okafor and Davenport, they quietly have become the best D-line in Saints history. And they're getting better every week. Dare I say-WHO DAT!?!

I don't know if I'd say they're our best D line ever. Joe Johnson, La'Roi Glover, Norman Hand and I believe Darren Howard was drafted while those guys were still around. That was a nasty D line. We lead the league in sacks pretty often in those days, with numbers in the 50's and 60's. Too bad our offense was always atrocious at the time. This current group is beastly but they've got a little ways to go before they supplant the group I mentioned as our best ever.
