• Play action helped the offensive line exceed expectations: Just eight of the 28 pass-blocking snaps for New Orleans' starting offensive line came on true pass sets, thanks in particular to a heavy dose of play action.
• The Saints didn't need to rely on Chris Olave: Olave was targeted on just 8.7% of his receiving snaps, and while New Orleans will still want to get him more involved, the fact that the team won in dominating fashion without needing to rely on him is an encouraging sign.
We, or at least I, may have significantly underestimated the New Orleans Saints heading into the 2024 NFL season.
Granted, their 47-10 win in Week 1 came against a Carolina Panthers squad that was the worst team in the NFL in 2023 — and one that arguably looks worse after one week of the 2024 campaign — but there was a lot to like about what New Orleans did in the season opener.
Play-action usage
Coming into the season, the biggest concern on the Saints' roster was their offensive line. The unit ranked 31st in PFF's preseason offensive line rankings, with big question marks at every spot other than center. Yet, the unit ranked first in PFF pass-blocking grade in Week 1.
New Orleans performed well against a Carolina defensive front that, simply put, is not good. Most importantly, though, was that the scheme put the offensive linemen in favorable positions. Just eight of the 28 pass-blocking snaps for New Orleans' starting offensive line came on true pass sets, thanks in particular to a heavy dose of play action. ...

5 DNP's listed on initial Saints-Cowboys injury report heading into Week 2
For the second year in a row, the New Orleans Saints have nearly double the amount of players on the injury report as their opponents. This week it’s the Dallas Cowboys
The Saints had a couple of starters go out during the Week 1 romp of the Carolina Panthers. Willie Gay Jr. (undisclosed), Marshon Lattimore (hamstring), Foster Moreau (concussion) and Lucas Patrick (toe) all exited the game due to injury.
Of the three, only Gay and Moreau returned to practice on Wednesday. Gay wasn’t even on the injury report and Moreau was a limited participant. The Saints are likely to stay patient with...

Taliese Fuaga ranks as the second best rookie after Week 1
The 2024 NFL draft was headlined by the surplus of quarterbacks drafted in the front half of the first round. After the first week, it isn’t the quarterbacks making at the top of Bleacher Report’s rankings. Instead, it’s primarily players on the offensive and defensive line.
New Orleans Saints offensive tackle Taliese Fuaga comes in at second only to Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy. Fuaga wasn’t able to punch in two touchdowns, but it was still quite the debut.
It’s hard to craft a better debut than Fuaga had on Sunday. Erik McCoy has spent the offseason accelerating the...

The New Orleans Saints haven’t been treated as a contender in the NFC South. Instead, they’ve been viewed as afterthoughts in the division behind the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tyrann Mathieu acknowledged this during the offseason.
After Week 1, Bleacher Report is ready to change their tune. Their biggest takeaway from the Saints season opener versus the Carolina Panthers is “Klint Kubiak’s Offense Will Make Saints a Serious Threat in NFC South.” Here’s why they’re coming around on Klint Kubiak and Derek Carr:

Saints bring back Shemar Jean-Charles to their practice squad
Help is on the way at cornerback with the New Orleans Saints re-signing Shemar Jean-Charles to their practice squad, as first reported by Nola.com’s Luke Johnson. The Saints had a spot open up when the Cleveland Browns signed linebacker Khaleke Hudson from their practice squad. Jean-Charles was let go during roster cuts in August and was initially expected to sign with the Saints’ practice squad, but that deal fell through. Now he’s back in the building.
And he should be expected to play on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. All five cornerbacks on the Saints’ 53-man roster were active...

Alontae Taylor snubbed for Defensive Player of Week 1 recognition
Credit where it’s due: Tyrique Stevenson made a big play when the ball was thrown to him. The Chicago Bears defensive back intercepted Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis and scored a game-changing touchdown on the return that left the second-year passer falling to his knees with his helmet in his hands in disbelief.
But come on. Anyone can intercept Levis. New Orleans Saints nickel Alontae Taylor was the first defensive back to record three sacks in a single game in team history. It’s just the thirteenth time in NFL history that a cornerback or safety has done that. But it was...

Former New Orleans Saints quarterback and now WWL radio host, Bobby Hebert, had high praise for Alvin Kamara during the coaches show with Dennis Allen. Hebert called the running back “a young 29.”
At running back, the age of 30 is that point where people begin to mentally write off players. Hebert cautioned fans against doing that with Kamara. He still sees a player with a lot in the tank: “I’ve seen the burst in OTA’s in minicamps. I still think he can hit it and get it.”
