re: Can the Saints D Be Salvaged (ESPN Insider)

Lewis and Ellerbe returning can only help, but any defense lives and dies by the pass rush. As long as Cam is our only legitimate source of pass rushing, it will be hard to expect much improvement. Kikaha has shown some flashes, but it's tough to ask him to become a big time player this early in his career.

Hopefully with a year under their belts next year, Kikaha, Anthony, and Davison can become the future of the defense along with Cam, Lewis, and Vaccaro.
