The New Orleans Saints lose Sedrick Ellis

The Saints will be without DT Sedrick Ellis for the next 4-6 weeks due to a knee sprain.  Ellis has played in 6 games for the Saints this season and he has 15 tackles, 1 sack and 2 passes defensed.  Undersized Anthony Hargrove (272 pounds) is 35 pounds lighter than Ellis but he’s the likely replacement.  That could hurt the run defense for the Saints.  Hargrove has played in all 7 games for the Saints this season and he has 21 tackles, 2 tackles for a loss, 1 pass defensed and he has 3 sacks.  If the Saints can’t deal with Hargrove’s lack of size then they could turn to Remi Ayodele (318 pounds) or Kendrick Clancy (305 pounds).  Ayodele has played in 6 games for the Saints this season and he has 9 tackles and 1 sack.  Clancy has played in 2 games for the Saints this season and he has 2 tackles.  The Saints will likely miss Ellis especially against the run.

    The Saints are losing too many interior defensive linemen and it’s going to start hurting the run defense. They really need Ellis to be a fast healer.
