We need more pass rushers... DT or DE doesn't matter, but we need legit pass rushers not guys we are hoping can make a impact. If we let Brady sit back in the pocket with all day to throw we won't have a chance no matter how good our DBs are.

We are now in the best division in football, and it's the best because of the QBs that each team has. There is no better set of QBs in any division. If we can't run the ball and get a pass rush it'll be another wasted season for Drew and co.

Go get Clowney or Everson Griffen. I don’t care how much they cost. We can’t potentially rely on any rookies with no offseason program.

The NFC South ... will be much more competitive in 2020.

As B&G stated, gotta find another legit pass rusher. Ryan, Brady will slice you up if they have time to throw. Trey Hendrickson cannot set the edge and Davenport's health is still a question mark.

Definitely, we need another veteran pass rusher. Davenport shows glimpses but I'm not thrilled we gave up as much draft stock as we did for a guy that cant finish a season.

I'd be down with the Clown.

Wonder if Cash Money Clowney would be interested in a 1 year deal to come play for a legitimate contender?

If I'm Clowney's agent, knowing my client, I'd advise him to turn down "one year" or "prove it deals" because that's all he'll get till he can't play no more - so he wants guaranteed Big Mo'...

We shouldn't be those guys...

Well, I suppose then there is always the draft. Matos or AJ could fall to us.

On the flip side, I'd still take a flyer on a proven vet that can get to the QB … consistently.

Clay Matthews had 8 sacks (rotational role) in 13 games, 37 tackles and 2 forced fumbles and could come cheap.

Clay Matthews makes alot of sense.
Clowne has never been close to what was expected of him, yet in his mind he is that and more. Griffen would be great too

	The Saints are 0-42 when running the ball less than 15 times in a game.
