What has to improve most for Saints to have a successful 2023 season? (1 Viewer)

For me it's a tie between better luck with injuries and more explosiveness leading to more points scored on offense.

Believe it or not I felt even though lapses occurred the Defense played well overall. Even without yielding alot of turnovers they had their moments stopping teams when it mattered most minus the Bengals game.

Dennis Allen not being overly conservative and has to open OTA's/training camp with kicking players in the butt. The passive stuff proved to not work last season.

For me, it’s easily the QB play. Teams live & die by it. 2 years in a row we’ve barely missed the playoffs due in large part to the suspect play of our QB. Now we have DC4 & Haener in house. I think there’s a clear night & day difference at our QB position. Let’s hope it translates on to the field.

Injuries, run blocking, more defensive turnovers, and keeping the explosive WRs on the 53 during final cuts.

Health and more creative play calling on offense.

1. Coaching.
2. Game planning/Proper use of on-field talent.
3. Accountability from the top down (players fall into this category along with the coaching staff).

If this team operates like they have an interim/substitute HC, even the highest level of player talent will be pretty much ineffectual.

Fewer injuries and a better turnover differential would be huge. We had a lot of key injuries and were on the "more injured" side of the NFL last season. It is almost impossible for both of those to get worse and it SHOULD net us better results, especially with one of the supposed easiest schedules in football. We regress to the mean on these two we should be able to add 3-4 wins to the schedule over last season.

Turnover differential, the Saints were -11 last season. Only the Colts were worse (-13).

Just pulling turnover differential to the mean, makes us 2 games better.

The offensive philosophy and offensive coordinator needs a complete 180 in terms of style and aggressiveness

Signing 3-4 vet free agents

TE/LB/DL/WR

QB play and turnover differential.

I think the conservative offense the last two years was due to an attempt to limit errors by mediocre QBs.

Team health has to improve.

DA and staff need to show they can actually be a competent NFL coaching staff....

 

[SigFreudianSlip]

QB play, injuries, creating some turnovers on defense.

 

[SWJJ]

We have to score more points than the defense gives up.

Turnovers and run defense!!

Better health compared to the previous two seasons.
