New Orleans Saints rookie wide receiver Chris Olave has been a stud so far this season and has added a new element and layer to the Saints offense. Michael Thomas, Jarvis Landry and Taysom Hill are dealing with injuries and Olave is leading the way for the receiving corps with Jameis Winston throwing.

First-year Saints coach Dennis Allen might have liked to keep his focus on defense, an area he built into a strength of the club as a coordinator the past six-plus seasons.

But while the unit he primarily oversees continues to perform well, costly breakdowns on offense and special teams are demanding more attention.

“We’ve got a lot of areas that we’ve got to improve on,” Allen said Monday after spending part of an overnight flight to England reviewing video of a 22-14 loss at Carolina last Sunday.

“We’ve got to work hard to get those things corrected and fixed before we get to Sunday.”

Even in their lone win in Atlanta in Week 1, the Saints needed a 17-point fourth quarter to pull off the largest fourth-quarter comeback victory in franchise history.

For most of the 11 other quarters they have played this season, the Saints have struggled to score — done in by a combination of drive-stalling penalties, turnovers and even missed field goals.

Through three games, the Saints (1-2) have scored 10 total first-quarter points, none in the second quarter of any game and three third-quarter points. They’ve fumbled eight times, losing four.

That's because Brady was seen taking a lot of his frustrations in New Orleans out on those wicked tablets the NFL has turned to in lieu of printed photos for players to look at during the course of the game.

“I’ve had a pretty bad record against that tablet, unfortunately,” Brady said while speaking with Jim Gray on the Monday following the Bucs win over the Saints. “I think I forgot the password and I couldn’t log in, so those things can be frustrating. Unfortunately, the tablet just happens to get in the way, and obviously that’s the reason things weren’t going great [against the Saints], so I had to take it out on the poor meaningless tablet.”

While Brady had a more humorous look at his treatment of tablets, the NFL apparently doesn't see it as a laughing matter. ...
