The Saints defense is easily the weak link on the team and the anemic edge pass rush hasn’t helped. The only serious free agent brought in during the preseason was defensive end Paul Kruger who has a half a sack through four games.
On the other side of the line, Cameron Jordan has two and a half. The standout on the team so far is defensive tackle Nick Fairley with three sacks typically playing against double teams.
Something obviously has to give, and the Saints are scouring waiver wires and putting out wanted ads resulting in Wednesday’s cattle call.
