Aaron Smith, Flozell Adams, Lamarr Woodley key injuries

With the rule changes, the secondary looked like last year's secondary. And that scares me. I need to see better then what we saw from the secondary. We need Hood to bring a pass rush on 3rd and long situations. Brees has a quick release normally so I won't be too upset if we can't get him on short drops. But on obvious passing downs in long yardage situations, when Brees has to hold the ball longer, we need to get to Brees.

It'd be nice if Woodley decides to show up in the pass rush. He'll definitely need to improve now that Smith is gone.
