Like most position groups on the Saints, there is a young core to build around.

By Chris Dunnells

Bringing back a series of pieces from the past two years, we’re going to check each position group on the New Orleans Saints and discuss how they improve the Saints’ chances of making a run in 2018. Let’s start with the offensive line...

Pro Football Focus ranked all NFL offensive lines following the 2017 season, and the Saints came in 9th overall:

"While it was mostly the Saints defense that received praise for a surprisingly strong season, the New Orleans offensive line also performed above expectations and led the league with a pass-blocking efficiency rating of 84.6 while they allowed the fewest pressures in the entire NFL over the regular season (110). A lot has been made of the additions of Marshon Lattimore and Alvin Kamara in the 2017 NFL Draft, but Ryan Ramczyk has seemingly become the best player on their line and one of the best right tackles in the entire league already after his first season. The offensive line was also effective on zone runs as Saints’ backs averaged 2.56 yards before contact on inside zone runs (second in the NFL) and 1.80 yards before contact on outside zone runs (fifth)."

Dennis Allen has some advice for recently-fired head coaches

The end of the season unfortunately means the end of coaching tenures for some head coach. We’ve passed Black Monday, and we’re now in the swing of the league-wide coaching search with six vacancies. There were three firings after the season to join the three coaches fired during the season.

The New Orleans Saints moved on from Dennis Allen over two months ago, so he’s had time to get used to life not being a head coach. This also isn’t his first time being fired in the middle of the season. The Oakland Raiders dismissed him after just four games in 2014.

During this time the former head...

You can now add Reggie Bush to the list with Drew Brees and Jonathan Vilma as former New Orleans Saints players who believe Detroit Lions defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn should be the next head coach of their former team.

Brees, Bush and Vilma were all teammates in New Orleans with Glenn in 2008, and Brees was still on the team when Glenn joined the coaching staff in 2016.

Glenn’s history in New Orleans lends itself to one of Bush’s important criteria for the next head coach. Bush believes the Saints “need somebody who is going to be able to lead not only the team, but the city as well...

Cameron Jordan has more sacks than any other player in New Orleans Saints history. While that’s part of what makes him a legend and one of the best players in team history, he’s one of the most beloved players for what he does off the field.

He’s flashed his great personality through quotes in the media and actions in the community. On Thursday, Jordan was recognized with the Bart Starr award for the player who “best exemplifies outstanding character and leadership in the home, on the field, and in the community.”

Drew Brees and Demario Davis have also won this award during their time...

Former New Orleans Saints offensive lineman Sincere Haynesworth has found a new home with the Arizona Cardinals, after his second stint with the team this past season.

Haynesworth signed with the Saints as an undrafted free agent at the conclusion of the 2024 NFL draft out of Tulane. Haynesworth spent the majority of his time with the Saints on the team’s practice squad, while also seeing a short time with the New England Patriots during the month of October. He was also selected in the eighth round of the UFL draft by the San Antonio Brahmas last July.

The Saints chose to not re-sign...

Dennis Allen doesn't view his 18-25 Saints record as a failure

Former New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen spoke with FOX Sports’ Jay Glazer on the “Unbreakable” podcast to share his reaction to his midseason firing. While most of the conversation surrounded the toll on mental health that comes with such a high-profile departure, Allen also reflected on his time with the Saints, which he doesn’t view as a failure despite an 18-25 record and three seasons out of the playoffs.

Allen is free to feel that way, and it’s probably a healthier decision than to wallow in grief. But Gayle Benson wouldn’t have made the decision to fire him if he hadn’t...

The New Orleans Saints are, in fact, requesting an interview with Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury. New reporting from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and NewOrleans.Football’s Mike Triplett confirms their interest in the former Cardinals head coach, as NFL insider Josina Anderson said earlier this week.

Kingsbury didn’t have a ton of success as the Arizona Cardinals head coach, but he’s shown a knack for developing young quarterbacks and his work with Commanders rookie Jayden Daniels has put him back on the NFL’s radar. Whether the Saints are looking to maximize...

Should the Saints hire Kellen Moore as the next head coach?

On Jan. 6, the news broke that the New Orleans Saints would be adding many names to their head coaching search. One of them, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, is Philidelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore.

While currently coaching for the Eagles, Moore used to be the OC for the Chargers and Cowboys. A young coach, he was also a Cowboy’s quarterback as recently as 2017.

But due to me growing up 40 minutes away from AT&T Stadium, I’m apprehensive about this move. Moore never seemed to be the belle of the ball for the fans or the local media as OC. Wanting specifics...
