The Saints interior D-line

I was just thinking, this should be an area the Saints address this offseason. I mean, I haven't seen much from these guys so far this season.
Hopefully they will turn into world beaters tomorrow night and someone can bump this thread and dog we all they want
But just looking at the main rotation we have and their age here we go:
David Onyemata (29)
Shy Tuttle (27)
Kentavius Street (26)
Malcolm Roach (24)
also, we took a swing with Jaleel Johnson in the offseason, and then he was cut.
I guess my question is what the current deals are for each player?
There is some youth there, but our supposed top guy Onyemata has left a lot to be desired so far.
I know the main focus is always pointed at the DE's and it should be, but the Saints have missed on the interior just as much if not more.
I mean these guys don't have the injury history like a Payton Turner or a Davenport. Forget the draft position.
Obviously.

All you can do is draft the best pass rusher despite the position. Who cares where they play. Well...unless its Weber St Pyrotechnic

Well then in that case, we need steal someone in free agency. We need to either be swinging for the fences (not likely) or lucking out on the under the radar type guy
We did draft Jordan Jackson out of Air Force what is the story there? I mean if he's hurt my apologies, didn't know.

He's good I think but just a 3rd down rusher with a quick get off so far. We are either old or young with upside that can't stay on the field

It'd be nice if we had a 2000 season duo like Norman Hand/La 'Roi Glover
I don't care how much the game has changed even since then

The Saint have made some horrible decisions on the
defensive side of the ball lately.Losing Malcomb Brown,
Bell,Ceedy Duece, etc. hs been disasrtous for this team.
I understand you have to make tough decisions but bad
defense has cost us many games.

Of the four 4 DT's Tuttle has by far been the most productive with 22 tkl. Street has 9 tkl. Onyematta 8 and Roach 3. Roach is the only one of the four to record a tackle against the Bengals. The Saints rushing defense is currently ranked 20th. Onyematta has definitely not been himself. He has had some QB pressures but few tackles and no sacks. Plenty of room for improvement.
