Summary

The Saints didn't cause as many turnovers or get after the quarterback like previous seasons. They had just nine interceptions, which was one of the lowest totals in the league. And New Orleans had just 33 sacks, which is another concern. This unit should be a little more discipline with Steve Spagnuolo taking over as defensive coordinator. He has a reputation for getting sacks and turnovers but won't play the reckless style of former defensive coordinator Gregg Williams. The big concern for the Saints is pass defense. Jabari Greer can be shut down but after him, the Saints are a bit thin. Teams had success throwing the ball against the Saints at a huge clip last season as the team ranked 30th against the pass. The special teams are very good for the Saints with Darren Sproles handling the return duties. You won't find a much better return man in the NFL than Sproles.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
We expect this unit to rebound this season even with all the turmoil surrounding them. Spagnuolo should be able to get some sacks and turnovers for this group, which has some talent. They'll be worth using as a low-end No. 1 or spot starter for fantasy teams.

New Orleans Saints LB Scott Shanle said the NFL has blown the bounty scandal out of proportion and that the league wanted to make an example out of the Saints and discourage any similar pay-for-performance programs. Shanle said the Saints had an incentive program, which included payouts between $500 and $1,000 for big hits and other key plays. 'I never saw any money for injuring somebody exchange hands,' Shanle said.
