DT John Ridgeway III and a 7th round pick traded to the Saints for a 6th round pick

If this guy can consistently play a big role in run stuffing, he could be a game changer for this defense. Far too often this front seven have to sell out to stop the run, and while it works early on in the season, we almost always end up getting exploited by mid season when teams have enough tape to exploit our poor play at the position.

Yeah I'm hoping our run defense is stout. Not that long ago we had one of the best run defenses in the league year in, year out. We were going to give up yards and points in the passing game but by god you weren't going to run it down our throat. Might not always generate a lot of pressure but you were banging your head into a stone wall trying to run against the Saints. Our D line was absolutely loaded. We had talent and depth so everybody could be kept fresh. Those were the days.
