Broughton and Miller expectations

Shepherd and Godchaux are gone next year and have been pretty mediocre. I expect Brooughton/ Miller to end up 1 for 1 replacements at a minimum. The expectations should really be higher though and you hope they surpass the other 2 before the end of the season.

Christen Miller: Should compete immediately for NT snaps, should by the starter sooner rather later. Stats: ~25 tackles, ~3 sacks, ~5 TFL

That’s a retarded stat line for a nose tackle.

I think Miller is going to be an early down kind of guy at nose.

remember he was a rotational guy even at Georgia. but then again that's not really a knock against him that's just the way that they operate especially on the defensive line. as time goes on I think he'll develop hopefully more as a pass rusher. not that he can't do it at all it's just that's where he would need more work.

I think Broughton is going to probably be a rotational guy too. I mean unless he comes in and just starts kicking arse and they can't take him off the field of course.

there's nothing wrong with having a good rotation of players on the defensive line not every guy has to come in and be a hero every play

I expect them to each play roughly 30-40% of the snaps.

Miller won't do much in pass rushing (maybe 1 if you're lucky), but I expect Broughton to get around 2-3 sacks on the year.

End the year starting. Cry Havoc

yep, he's a rotational player like Broughton and Miller.

Saints run defense will not be pushed around this season.

Unless they have these sorry arse starts to games like last year. This is a complementary football game we are talking here.
