Let’s face it. When you mention the New Orleans Saints and defense in the same sentence, the response is typically critical or comical. Since 2012, the Saints have developed a reputation of being one of the worst units out there. Rob Ryan’s entrance and stellar defense of 2013 just ended up being a false sense of security for fans, and it once again became a huge issue over the past two seasons.
When Dennis Allen took over for Rob Ryan after Week 10 of last season, huge changes were expected, but never came. There were glimpses of what the defense could have been, but it still wasn’t enough to salvage the Saints season. This year provided a lot of optimism, even with all of the injuries. However, the first five games were absolutely atrocious for the Saints, and has us all looking for change.
