O-line and D-line are Saints biggest problems

Real #1s are hard to remove from the game completely like tonight. One key in football is you get your best players the ball at all costs. CO wasn’t beating his man off the line. His biggest contribution was his humpty dance impression that got us flagged

CO had McDuffie (2023 1st Team All Pro) in press with a Safety over the top often. It was what New England and Seattle did to the Saints when Graham was the only real receiving threat. They said "we will not change our coverage until you make us", and unfortunately the Saints never made them change their coverage. Before tonight's game, Olave had an 84% catch rate and could not be covered one on one. Tonight he wasn't covered one on one. Add in the complete inability for the Saints OL to pass block, and Carr had little time to read the field or let routes develop. We've also seen what happens when Carr just throws a prayer :covri:

Olave never had a chance tonight.
