This game is more winnable than people think.  However, like the entire season, it largely depends on Bryce Young.  He needs to be able to make some plays.

Saints didn't bring anyone notable onto the team during the offseason.  They are old and have a bad OL, especially with Ramczyk out.  And how good will their defense be?  They are relying on a lot of older guys.  Davis is 35, Jordan is 35, Honey Badger is 32.

I'm expecting a low-scoring game.  Whoever controls the LOS best will win.  Sounds cliche but I think that will be the biggest difference in this game.  Both teams have questionable OLs, but Panthers brought in talent to upgrade there.  Saints did not.

Watching the canales presser and I don't know if this is a usual thing, but it seems like the first couple days of practice focus on 1st and 2nd downs and Thursday is 3rd down day? Then Friday focusing on the red zone?

Is that what I'm hearing and is this something that other teams do and we have always done? I've just never heard of this.  At least I don't remember hearing about it.

I think their defense is a threat,  it their offense, especially the OL seems like something our D can feast on.

Oh I agree. The Saints aren’t far off from us this year imo. This is a winnable game given that both of us are bad 

The Bucs won their first meeting with the Saints last year. Baker who led the league in deep passes (+20 yards) didn’t have a single deep pass in their win

Their week 17 matchup the Saints were shutting the Bucs out until midway through the 4th

Seems like we can expect Bryce to throw it +30 times but that’s about all I took away from these charts

From what I gather so far every Saints fan hates Dennis Allen and Derek Carr lol.

His numbers weren’t even bad but he’s one of those guys where you have to actually watch instead of box score scout 

68.4 completion percentage 

3878 passing yards

25 touchdowns 

8 interceptions 

We’d all sign up for these numbers immediately for Bryce Young

Yep, #4 in takeaways last year and #8 in points allowed.

people are calling them old….but we got a young/bad QB, a rookie OC and a rookie HC.   The Saints being “old” really isn’t ideal for the our matchup.  They are experienced on D vs newbies.   Got to like that matchup the most in the this game.  Our D is the 2nd best but got to think it’s a distant 2nd vs their favorable matchup

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
