Run defense still a problem
Just ran across this from another Saints site, haven’t looked up to verify:
Speaking of Bresee and then the rest of the line….
PFF rates him 34.1
His pass rush seems solid, but is his run defense THAT bad?
While Granderson (87.6) is holding it together, the rest of them: Saunders (52.8), Turner (72.5), Young (63.6), and Jordan (54.3) also suck
Our back 7 seems to get so much crap, but maybe its the front 4 that is that bad.
If that’s accurate then ouch, that’s bad.
Just looked it up, it is that bad. Wow.
According to PFF, Bryan Bresee's run defense grade is 28.7, which ranks 182nd out of 184 defensive ends. Here are some of Bresee's other grades:
- Overall grade: 34.1, ranking 174th out of 184 defensive ends
- Pass rush grade: 55.4, ranking 134th out of 184 defensive ends
He’s not an end tho, idk why it’s grouping him there?
