Malcom in the Middle: Saints plan for the interior defensive line

Apologies to those who’ve already used the Malcom in the Middle thing before. It’s obvious, trite, lazy, I had to go there. How can you not? But Malcom Brown, one of the newest free agent additions to the Saints roster, is a huge part of the Saints defensive plans for the upcoming 2019 Season.

In an ideal world where gigantic men playing a full-contact sport didn’t suffer injuries, we wouldn’t be talking about Malcom Brown in a space devoted to covering the New Orleans Saints. But the loss of star defensive tackle Sheldon Rankins to a torn Achilles predicated that the Saints bring in someone to pick up the slack.
