Cam Jordan, New Orleans Saints Defense Keep Fighting For NFL Playoff Push

The New Orleans Saints have been through so much this season that even being able to talk about them as potential playoff contenders highlights their resilience. Displaced to start the season, down a Hall of Fame quarterback in Drew Brees, several battles through the COVID complications across the NFL, relentless injury news, and so much more. The Saints have had their backs against the wall all season but the team's leaders on the field and off have never stopped punching. Head Coach Sean Payton deserves a ton of credit for the job this team has done. Now one win and just a little help away from a fifth-straight playoff appearance. The Saints were led by their defense again, but their special teams and offensive units did exactly what they needed to do to win. No turnovers by Taysom Hill, Alvin Kamra, and the Saints offense. Blake Gillikin, JT Gray, and the special teams unit flipped the field with great results. And the defense kept in pursuit of Sam Darnold and the Carolina Panthers, completely shutting them down in the second half, sacking Darnold 7 times, and generating two key takeaways including another game-sealing interception by C.J. Gardner-Johnson. Defensive end Cam Jordan is more than an edge rusher. As an edge defender and unflappable leader, he's been the tone-setter for the New Orleans Saints defense for over a decade and instead of slowing down, he's picking up. With 7.5 sacks over the last three games, Jordan surpasses 10 sacks for the sixth time in his career and has turned his Hall of Fame resume into one that no longer questions his claim to Canton, but turns it into a matter of when, not if.

New Orleans Saints' Offseason Focus Should Be On Reloading Wide Receiver Room
New Orleans Saints' Offseason Focus Should Be On Reloading Wide Receiver Room

The New Orleans Saints defied the odds in 2021, but looking ahead to 2022, the offensive struggles cannot persist. Particularly in the passing game. Rookie cornerback Paulson Adebo and the Saints' retooling of the cornerback position should be an indication of how impactful the team can be if they do focus on this high-value position, even if Michael Thomas is expected to return from his injury. Alabama Wide Receiver Jameson Williams was easily the top WR on many NFL Draft evaluator boards. But now that he's suffered an ACL injury, it could potentially impact the availability of other top wideout prospects like Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson, Drake London, and Treylon Burks. With the Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants, Chicago Bears, Miami Dolphins, and Denver Broncos all in the head coaching search, could the Saints lose defensive coordinator Dennis Allen this offseason? He and assistant GM/director of college scouting Jeff Ireland should be hot names in the searches around the NFL following Black Monday and the coach firings around the league.

New Orleans Saints Miss Playoffs But Affirm Bright Future With Convincing Win
New Orleans Saints Miss Playoffs But Affirm Bright Future With Convincing Win

The New Orleans Saints might not be postseason bound, but they did enough in Atlanta to handle their business and remind their players, future players, and others paying attention of their competitive spirit and winning culture. Between loosing Drew Brees, chopping down the salary cap, replacing players at just about every position, a record-breaking 58 unique starters, Hurricane Ida, and COVID outbreaks, the New Orleans Saints went through the ringer. But whether it was Jameis Winston, Taysom Hill, Tevor Siemian, or Ian Book under center, Sean Payton was prepared and ready to compete - a clear Coach of the Year candidate. Cam Jordan, Kwon Alexander, Alvin Kamara, and Marcus Davenport - among others - all had standout performances in the Saints' 30-20 victory over the rival Atlanta Falcons. Although the Los Angeles Rams couldn't hold up their end of the bargain and the Saints will miss the playoffs for the first time since 2017, New Orleans needs not be pitied. As the team proved itself to be one of the most competitive and resilient rosters in the NFL. Offseason storylines are on the way. Will Dennis Allen be the Saints defensive coordinator? Will the Saints be able to keep Marcus Williams? What's happening at quarterback? All just part of what is setting up to be a very intriguing offseason in the Big Easy.

New Orleans Saints Have To Handle Business Against The Atlanta Falcons
New Orleans Saints Have To Handle Business Against The Atlanta Falcons

The New Orleans Saints are one win and little help away from another playoff performance. What Alvin Kamra, Taysom Hill, Cam Jordan, and other Saints stars need to do to get a win against the Atlanta Falcons with a little help from the Los Angeles Rams. Pre-snap conflict, sheer want and will all factor in to what the Saints have to do on the offensive side as is the health of the o-line with Terron Armstead, Erik McCoy, and Ryan Ramczyk. Cam Jordan, Marcus Davenport, and David Onyemata look to pressure Matt Ryan and eliminate the run game while looking to limit the big plays to Kyle Pitts and Cordarrelle Patterson. Ricardo LeCompte of WWLTV joins to talk Sean Payton, Saints chances against the Falcons, and a potential matchup with the Los Angeles Rams if they make the playoffs.
