The Saints are a timing-based offense, but there needs to be some respect from defenses
The short answer to the question “when should Saints fans freak out” is “not yet.” The slightly longer answer is “wait and see what happens in Detroit.” When Alvin Kamara isn’t on the field, the Saints’ offense looks anemic, and part of that is a seeming refusal from Drew Brees to throw the ball downfield.
Part of this, of course, is by design. The...

Penalties, poor coverage, the New Orleans Saints defense is just going through it right now
Many things can be pointed to why the New Orleans Saints have gotten off to a fairly poor start. One of the biggest things that has stood out so far has been the penalties from the secondary. New Orleans have been penalized 24 times for a total of 331 yards, the yardage being the most in the NFL. The result is that these penalties have killed momentum for the...

If it’s not the offense, it’s the defense. This Saints team just can’t win for losing right now.
The New Orleans Saints outing against the Green Bay Packers Sunday night was... frustrating.
The offense averaged a half yard more per play than the Packers and put up 30 points without their best player — Michael Thomas. They ran the ball at will, averaging 6.1 yards per rush, compared to 3.8 by the Packers.
But we all know what factors often decide...

Alvin Kamara’s numbers are eye-opening. Alas the defense’s numbers are too
“Someone said: “numbers never lie.” And that was a lie, because sometimes numbers lie. But they don’t lie all the time, and that’s the truth.”

Key leaders of the New Orleans Saints dissect the disappointing start to the season and how to right the ship moving forward.
Despite stronger gameplay, overall, in the New Orleans Saints 37-30 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday Night Football, the team just can’t seem to hit its stride. The cries of Drew Brees’ critics only get louder by the week; while he wasn’t necessarily to blame for the Week 3 loss, Brees certainly needs to step it up to...

After two home games, it’s becoming clear how integral Saints fans are to maintaining the team’s “home field advantage.”
With under four minutes left in fourth quarter and clinging to only a three point lead, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers pulled off one of his go-to tricks and utilized a hard count on third and 3. Drew Brees has also become adept at drawing opponents offside with a hard count, but Rodgers managed to do it on Brees’ home...
