While the 2024-25 season in the National Football League is still early, the New Orleans Saints are grappling with significant roster challenges early in the 2024-25 NFL season.
Head coach Dennis Allen and general manager Mickey Loomis must address pressing concerns in offensive, defensive, and linebacker positions.
Dennis Allen expressed concern about the team’s lackluster pass rush following their game against the Atlanta Falcons.
In Week 5, starting defensive ends Granderson and Young failed to record any sacks and managed only one quarterback hit on Kurt Cousins.
Payton Turner was the sole player who sacked the Falcons’ quarterback.
Pro Football Hall of Fame executive Bill Polian urges caution regarding trades before the November 7 deadline. He emphasized the importance of considering a player’s fit within a team’s system and style of play.
“System of play, [and]style of play is not a non-issue with players going from team to team [in the NFL],” Polian old Solomon Wilcots on Tuesday’s Opening Drive program. He continued, ” In football, systems are very different from team to team.”
Based on Polian’s theory, “How would a player fit the offensive and defensive schemes in New Orleans?” Furthermore, would a player be an easy plug-and-play into the Saints’ culture?
Bills legendary coach Marv Levy once told Polian, “Don’t shake up the Pepsi bottle when you got a good thing.”
He was referring to the team’s or unit’s chemistry. Finding a player with the right mentality to play fast and tough, as Demario Davis and Willie Gay Jr., would make it difficult for a team to give up via trade.
