Jacksonville defense struggling mightily this season

The Saints run DEFENSE has been elite. The run offense has been stagnant outside of week 1. Kamara is constantly needing to churn up YAC and Murray has essentially been invisible. Yes, the Saints have faced above average competition but the interior OL has not done their part.

Rush offense DVOA
WEEK 1. 13.7%
WEEK 2. -36.1%
WEEK 3. -23.1%
WEEK 4. -1.9%
WEEK 5. -13.5%

I don’t think they’ve been great. But the DVOA can be really deceptive given the situational football we’ve faced. We’ve faced really good run defenses with a backup QB so they could load up to stop the run. PLUS, we’ve had leads so teams knew we’d be trying to grind the clock.
