The Saints defensive line keeps taking some shots in the rankings, but is it valid criticism?
Tis the season of no football, which brings various rankings of all sorts. Earlier on Tuesday, we looked at how the Saints roster stacked up from ESPN. Now, we look at another by, who turned in a 24th overall ranking for the New Orleans defensive line. Here's what they had to say.
Inside, the hope rests on a second-year breakout from Bryan Bresee, who recorded just 31 quarterback pressures and a 30.1 PFF run-defense grade as a rookie. Chase Young, who was a big get in free agency, has been doing well in the rehab process, and we expect him to get the 'ramp up' treatment when he gets into training camp. The demeanor and attitude we've heard about his approach is encouraging, so he looks to be a big part of the plan to fix a pass rush who had plenty of opportunities last year.
We're not entirely sure what Cam Jordan's workload will be like, but him staying healthy will be big for the Saints defense. The three-year span of production PFF referenced in their article may have some correlation to the reduced snap counts for Jordan. He's gone from 830 snaps in 2021 to 790 in 2022 to 771 last season. That number could decline even more in 2024.
