Peppers and Addison are solid. We still need depth and youth, but I don't think they suck. It's better than last year and we were 2nd in sacks.

Weren't we near the top of the league in sacks last year?

It sure as hell wasn't Kony Ealy giving us those numbers.

How many times has the defense kept us in games last year because the offense couldn't do poo? How many OL got hurt last year? We needed playmakers and OL depth. We got it.

Fugging-A right.

So the saints have Ingram, Adrian Peterson, Kamara. And gave up next years second rounder for a third round pick

Peppers is done.

Addison is a good pass rusher but not a great run defender.

That's why God created Linebackers and Defensive Tackles.

Well our DEs are all here THIS year. We can adress it R1 or 2 next year

LOL Peppers has gotten at least 7 sacks in all but one of his NFL seasons . If he's anywhere near done his production certainly isn't flagging

Short was underwhelming last season and our LBs should not be blitzing on every other down. Good passing teams killed us when we did.

You were talking run defense

Not a lot of DE guys that I see getting on the field, why waste picks if you think they are not up to speed?  As I asked last night, I wonder which 43 DE's are free agents next year.

Also, as I mentioned several times, I think Oher will retire before the season starts, maybe within a month

Don't get it. Ingram's been great. I posted his stats above. Crazy to waste a 2nd pick next year for Kamara with Ingram and Peterson.

Me neither. Saints are dumb. I'm fine if you take Kamara but giving up a second? Crazy

Personal take is that our woes was centered around Ealy playing like a Jag. Of course, rookie development too, but our pass rush increased significantly when Ealy had less reps.

Pep will be reborn.

Now, for totally selfish reasons, if Lawson drops to the bottom of the 3rd, I hope we pick my Auburn boy. <3
