WATCH: New Orleans Saints DT Akiem Hicks Sacks Jay Cutler With One Arm and Celebrates
Playing with a sizable lead is every defensive lineman's dream. That means you can count on the opposition passing the ball on almost every play so you can forget about defending the run and go all out for the quarterback. Saints defensive tackle Akiem Hicks did on this place and in the end notched the teams sixth sack of the game.So he did what every good big man should do and celebrated...

Saints Nation Guru – Week 9 – Panthers
A quick writeup this time because I do not have much time, just as the Saints only have 4 days to prepare themselves.
So the answers were: 3 is the number of Tackles Hakeem Nicks… Oh wait I am not Ralph, Akiem Hicks has, Brees was sacked twice, Lewis had 0 defended passes and Hell Yes White definitely was involved in a turnover! (I will make a similar question this week just so...

Five Players on Saints Defense To Watch During Training Camp
After finishing dead last in 2012, the Saints defense made a huge turnaround and finished the 2013 season in the top five. One player-DE Cameron Jordan-was selected to go to the Pro Bowl as a reward for a breakout season. And there were a few other players that also turned their careers around just as much as they helped to turn around the fortunes of the Saints' defense.Here are...

Akiem Hicks: The Next Big Thing in New Orleans
When I call Akiem Hicks the “next big thing” for the New Orleans Saints, I’m not referring to his stature since that would be stating the obvious. At 6’05” and about 320 points, Hicks stands out as one of the biggest guys on the field, but we all know that big men don’t always produce. Hicks, though, showed serious promise in his 2012 rookie campaign and built on that...

New Orleans Saints will likely avoid defensive tackle in draft
As we continue to analyze this year’s NFL draft, it looks like the New Orleans Saints will be avoiding the defensive tackle position…at least through the early rounds.
The interior of the Saints’ defensive line was a strength this past year, and with Cam Jordan continuing to move towards his role as a more traditional 3-4 defensive end there is little need to draft a playmaker...

New Orleans Saints not done making moves in free agency
The New Orleans Saints need to release Brodrick Bunkley. There I said it.
Come on! You were thinking it too! Between Akiem Hicks, John Jenkins and a potential later round draft pick, the Saints will have more than enough beef to hold up in the middle of the defensive line in 2014.
Mickey Loomis is a cap wizard—and if we’re being honest, probably something closer to a thief. That...

New Orleans Saints: Rob Ryan, savior of the Saints’ defense
The New Orleans Saints have always had a special connection to that place nestled up above the clouds. Whether it’s having the “Pope” at their games, a team name that refers to the holiest of people, a quarterback named Breesus or the newest addition of Moses, AKA Rob Ryan, to the team.
With his flowing white locks, Ryan came to hand down the law of defense to New Orleans....
