In a game, DBs and CBs can defend 60-70 plays. So, late in a game, it would be nice if the DL rotation can pressure a QB and help the back-end of the defense. If you don't get pressure, teams that need a big play to beat the Saints will have a greater possibility of making a play.
First, DT Malcom Brown is an indication that the Saints are moving on from Tyeler Davison. Brown can eat up blockers and let Demario Davis and the LBs flow to the football. Brown can get pressure on the QB but, more important, opposing QBs won't be able to climb or step up in the pocket to avoid the edge rushers. Brown is an upgrade that fans should love.
Next, DE/DT Mario Edwards is an upgrade over Alex Okafor and he can help the rotation while Sheldon Rankins is on the mend. Marcus Davenport and Cam Jordan are the starting DEs and Edwards gives the rotation another big strong defender who can run. Fans should love the versatility of Edwards and, if he can help the edge rushers stay fresh, this is a big win in free agency.
We know that teams can't keep all their good players during free agency. Sometimes the numbers don't add up. And sometimes teams need to find a guy who fits under the cap and helps the rotation. The Saints just added two guys who fit the latter description.
GO Saints!!
