But I did note that sacks 1, 5, 13 and 14 were either created by a blitz, by another defensive player making a play that extended the play enough for him to get there or a play where the entire Oline crumbled, so he got there along with 2 or 3 other players. So I imagine that is where the 10 sack number came from.
It's true that a "clean up sack" is very subjective, but I think the point is that, in a defense where he won't have nearly as much help as he did in New Orleans, there is a concern about whether he can produce for himself.
Well that should be the case, you can't expect ONE guy to make all the plays. That's why Lawson didn't have the sack numbers either. The Line needs to work together.
As for the Saints. Jordan, M.Brown, Onyemata were his main stable mates. Rankins filled in as their 3rd DT, and they had several other DEs rotate in Davenport being the big name one.
Reader can be every bit of M.Brown and more if healthy. LO can hopefully give us what Onyemata did , and then the big one we need production from Hubbard, Kareem or someone in the draft to help with what Jordan gave (which is a HUGE ask because the dude is an ALL Pro and one of the top 5 DEs in football).
