#78 Jonathan Goodwin   Pos: Offensive Line NFL Team: NOR Injury: OK Experience: 5 College: Michigan Height: 6-3 Weight: 318 Born: 12-02-1978 SUMMARY The Saints actually improved some defensively last season, but there overall numbers still weren't great. New Orleans ranked 23rd overall defensively and allowed 24.6 points per game. Their pass defense was the biggest concern, allowing 222 yards per game while getting 15 interceptions. The Saints score a lot of points, though, which doesn't help matters for their pass defense. The opposition is usually just trying to keep up. The Saints addressed the secondary during the offseason, getting Jabari Greer to start at one cornerback and Darren Sharper to start at safety. Both are upgrades and should be a boost to the defense. New Orleans is just average at rushing the passer. Charles Grant and Will Smith are their top ends and had six combined sacks last season. They need to be better. The Saints have an explosive return game with Reggie Bush getting much of the work on punt returns. Bush had three punt returns for touchdowns last season. FANTASY OUTLOOK The Saints will be better, but also will still give up a lot of points and yards. Their sacks totals are just average and the secondary remains questionable. The big positive is the special teams unit, which probably isn't good enough to overlook the defensive shortcomings. 2009-11-18 16:03:03 Nakia Hogan, of the New Orleans Times-Picayune, reports New Orleans Saints C Jonathan Goodwin (knee), CB Jabari Greer (groin), TE David Thomas (knee) and CB Tracy Porter (knee) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 18.
