34 to our 30

wanna know what else they were better at:
coverage (70 PD and 13 INTs to 67 PD and 9 INTs)

know where we upgraded or tried to?
Cornerbacks and Linebackers



And they traded for Kony Ealy, drafted edge players Derek Rivers(3rd rd) & Deatrich Wise(4th Rd) with 2 of their 4 picks.


novel concept, i know

And Saints signed Okafor, have Kikaha coming back, and drafted 2 DEs

Deatrich Wise(4th Rd) 


Isn't he going to be a 3-4 end? I don't think he's considered a pass rusher at the NFL level

They also have a stacked secondary and Hightower.

Kony Ealy


if you think that's someone who is such a far away upgrade, you're really mistaken. even carolina homers have given up on him. They thought after a solid rookie season, he was gonna take the next step but for two straight years he didn't do a damn thing while Mario Addison was the one who stepped up.

Even Charles Johnson nabbed 4 sacks last year and played less snaps than Ealy.

Gettleman isn't a dumb GM and pass rushers (and DL) have always been his go to memo since he took over...yet he traded Ealy just to move up a few picks. That speaks loudly of what he thinks of Ealy's potential now.
