Welcome to the board. Cam Jordan is an elite D-lineman but I think you may be overhyping them. They haven't faced a team above .500 since week 3 and currently have the 8th ranked Defense overall (16th vs. pass, 3rd vs. run).
Since you mentioned stats and I realize this has nothing to do with 9ers vs saints but stats have always bothered me. Stats you gave are good example. 16th vs pass 3rd vs run. Unless every team plays everybody at full strength stats really don't mean anything. One way to look at it I guess is being 16th ranked vs pass against sub 500 teams isn't saying much.Even being 3rd vs rush for same reason.
