Disaster may be awaiting the Saints as several teams early on their schedule improved where New Orleans appears to be the weakest
heading into this year's training camp. The biggest issue was along the offensive line, which was one of the worst in the NFL last season.
So far, the outlook seems bleak. Trevor Penning, a 2022 first-round pick who was benched at left tackle last year, still looks like a liability after a move to right tackle. Neither Udoh or Landon Young look like a viable solution should Penning continue to be a liability. As if all this wasn't bad enough, each of the Saints' NFC South foes also made significant improvements to be more disruptive up front.Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Vita Vea pressures New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr / Matthew Hinton-USA TODAY Sports
Atlanta, who went 7-10 last season, quietly finished with the league's 11th ranked defense and eighth against the pass. They didn't have many standouts up front, but consider that their 42 sacks and 98 QB hits were both more than the respected New Orleans defense recorded. Their defense is expected to be even more aggressive under new head coach Raheem Morris, a defensive specialist.
