Saints 29th in run defense on the edges

Does this include runs by QB's? We have faced a lot of mobile QB's in Frye, Vick, Gradkowski, McNabb, McNair and Gradkowski again and that could really change the stats because mobile QB's tend to have much higher YPC average than RB's. The other thing is we have faced a lot of smaller backs. Droughns and Lewis are the only two big backs we have faced.

One thing I have noticed about Fujita is that he will lose gap responsibility and tries to make plays. The last thing is the long run by Foster could make the yards per attempt look much worse than it is. I don't think teams have tried running to the left side of our defense because it is pretty solid, it would really help if they showed rushing attempts to each side with the stats.

Grant is one of the best DE's in the NFL against the run and I can't imagine he is the problem, especially when looking at runs inside RT.

No QB has had big runs against us or many yards. Vick had 1 30 yarder and Frye had 44 yards, but that's really been it. It doesn't skew things.

Secondly, DeShaun Foster and Carnell Williams, the two who first exposed the edges of our run defense, are not "small" backs. Westbrook, the only truly small type back we've faced, we actually handled pretty good.
