On paper, that's a robust defensive front. I expect much of the same (#1 ranking vs run) in 2019 ... low probability of teams having consistent success running the football on the Saints.

Concerned Edwards won't have the production as a pass rusher/special teams rusher that Okafor was; maybe T-Rex can step up in that role this season if they'll give him legit opportunity...

But am looking forward to Malcolm Brown collapsing that pocket push that QB further back for our edge rushers; dare we ask to see a few forklift highlights?

Still Aaron Lynch is an intriguing option as a rotational defensive end, earned $4mil/$1.25mil guaranteed last year, which is a bargain for a 6' 5", 250lbs reserve with 18 career sacks...

And if his name sounds familiar, he was a big reason why San Fran beat us in OT in the playoffs a few years ago...
