For two years, since they were selected 11th and 24th in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft, combo-platter defensive ends J.J. Watt of Houston and Cameron Jordan of New Orleans had a large gulf between them. Watt was the record-breaker, the pass-deflector and sack machine, the 2012 Defensive Player of the Year. Jordan was a nice defensive end, but miscast in the Saints’ futile 4-3 scheme.
At 6-foot-4 and 287 pounds, Jordan needed to be a Watt, a 3-4 end who moved inside and played some 3-technique depending on the down and distance. That’s how Watt got his 20.5 sacks and 16 passes deflected in 2012. It was one of the best seasons a defensive lineman ever had.
Someone saw. Someone knew the impact Jordan could make playing as a 3-4 end on running downs and playing inside against the pass. Veteran defensive coach Rob Ryan knew, and when Sean Payton replaced defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo—a 4-3 guy—with malleable 3-4 maven Ryan after the disastrous Saints defensive season in 2012, Ryan pushed Jordan to his more natural spot. And Ryan essentially told him to go get the quarterback and forget everything else on passing downs. It was perfect for Jordan. Watch him play, and you see a Tazmanian Devil, a powerful and slippery twister-and-turner with 17 quarterback disruptions (sacks, pressures and knockdowns) through three games. Watt has 14.

Between him, Kenny V, and Rob "fat fabio" Ryan this team is gonna become a defensive powerhouse. Now let's just hope our offense starts rolling

Ah, so it was Ryan's decision to move him there.
Not Coach Payton, who studied all last season while being suspended, looked at all the players on defense, realized that a move to 3-4 was best for the personnel he had (like Jordan, Galette, Wilson, Hicks, etc), fired Spags......... and hired Ryan.

I feel like Cam Jordan and our defense is our own little secret but the world will learn next Monday.

I've been saying for awhile, I think Jordan becomes the face of this defense going forward. Dude has just been an absolute animal

I really enjoyed this part
If my math is correct, that's only 7 scoring drives for the other team. Out of 33 opportunities, the opponent has scored SEVEN times in three games.

I hate PK much as the next person, but there's no reason to be pissed at anything he wrote in this piece.
