The defense's success has helped disguise one of the more pressing and troubling issues facing the Saints during the second part of the season.
Sure, everyone has mentioned the team's lack of pass rush and how it needs to get better. Still, no one has really rung an alarm or created panic over the issue, perhaps in part because Marcus Davenport and David Onyemata will be returning from the land of the lost soon. But there probably should be more conversations taking place about this issue, considering there are nine individual players across the NFL who have more sacks than the New Orleans defensive line has combined.
