Forget the Saints offense, lets talk about the saints defense

with Brees and Bush in the fold, obviously a lot of the talk centering around the Saints has been about their offense, but what about the new orleans D?

well, according to this story, "defensively, new coordinator gary gibbs is saddled with arguably the weakest linebacking corps in the league, despite the free-agent additions of anthony simmons from seattle and scott fujita from dallas. the saints finished dead last in the NFL with a -24 turnover margin last year, in part because their defensive front didn’t get much pressure on opposing quarterbacks. without any significant offseason moves to bolster that pass rush, the saints are likely to be in the bottom half of the league defensively in 2006."

strong comments. think that's true? how bad is the saints defense?

Reggie Bush said he'd also play linebacker for the Saints so they should be just fine.

I think they'll be in a fierce competition with Oakland for the worst defense in the NFL. I don't care what the total is for their opening game, I'm taking the over.
