NEW ORLEANS SAINTS (9-8)

EXPECTATIONS: The Saints are in the midst of a three-season playoff absence and coach Dennis Allen is under pressure to get his club back to the postseason in what will be his third season in charge. The most recent time the Saints made the playoffs in 2020, Drew Brees was in his final season as quarterback and current Denver coach Sean Payton was in the penultimate season of his decade-and-half tenure in New Orleans. The Saints usually have been strong on defense since Allen became the club’s defensive coordinator in late 2015. But the offense struggled for much of last season with veteran QB Derek Carr under center, particularly in the final stages of several close losses that ultimately cost New Orleans a playoff spot. Allen’s response was to overhaul his offensive coaching staff, starting with new coordinator Klint Kubiak, who was a lead assistant for San Francisco’s Super Bowl team last season. The new offensive will mix outside zone runs with play-action passing and the ability to run multiple plays out of a single pre-snap formation — a scheme that has worked well for the 49ers. The hope is that the new scheme will be a better fit for Carr, top receiver Chris Olave and running back Alvin Kamara.

NEW FACES: LB Willie Gay; DE Chase Young; LT Taliese Fuaga; Offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak; CB Kool-Aid McKinstry; WR Cedric Wilson Jr.; WR Stanley Morgan; OL Shane Lemieux; LB Khaleke Hudson.

KEY LOSSES: RT Ryan Ramczyk (will miss the season on the injured reserve list); WR Michael Thomas; QB Jameis Winston; DB Isaac Yiadom; LB Zack Baun; DT Malcolm Roach; S Marcus Maye....
