I'm hoping Saints have a better year under head coach Dennis Allen. After all it is his defense that's been carrying his team with the last two wins. But to be fair, he is down Alvin Kamara and Peat and has a Rookie starting at right tackle. Kamara will be back after this week's game against the Packers.
The Offense line was the biggest concern this year. Allen went all in on defense with the draft and free agency. I've said this before, Pro football, games are won or lost with line play. Offense line and Defense line, they control the game, well beside the Refs. Sure, you need your play makers to show up especially with this pass happy league we have now.
Dennis Allen is running an "old school." type Offense right now, until Derek Carr can find his groove if he finds it at all. Hès pretty much been running for his life with the way his pass protection has been which hasn't been good. He sure has enough weapons, plus he has a top 5 defense to back him up. By mid-season will tell if Saints can stay with the big dogs or get back on the front porch with the puppies.
