New Orleans Saints defensive end Cam Jordan shared insights with the Around The NFL Podcast hosts on the team's culture, memorable game moments, and his pursuit to join the ranks of the NFL's top sack leaders.
No interview with Cam Jordan would be complete without some fun podcast banter from the Saints' legendary player. However, the conversation shifted to the Saints and the dynamics in the locker room, including a fascinating insider look at team culture, leadership, and the drive to win.
"I've learned to not put my GM hat on," Jordan said. "I've played this game and it never worked out well. … You learn to shut the hell up and let the up top do what they're supposed to do. They're supposed to want more. We're three years dry of the playoffs. Maybe a culture shock needs to happen.
"I think there's a core group of our players that push positivity, whatever it is, and in fact I loved our locker room this year. But if our locker room isn't winning at a high rate, things are going to have to shake. One day they're going to be like, 'Hey, Cam. Your time, bud.' And I'll be like, hey, I hope the Saints keep on winning. Whatever it takes. I just want the Saints to win."
During his 13-year career in New Orleans, Jordan became the Saints' all-time sack leader with 117.5. Also, he's recorded 682 combined tackles, 225 QB hist, 153 tackles for losses, 61 passes defended, 15 forced fumbles, 11 fumble recoveries, and a pair of interceptions.
