NEW ORLEANS SAINTS

2020 Defensive Pass Efficiency Rank: 8
2020 Defensive Rush Efficiency Rank: 6
2020 Base Coverage: Cover 3
2020 Third-Down Mentality: Blitz and play Cover 1

Dennis Allen has put together an excellent unit since becoming the Saints' defensive coordinator. They play a lot of different coverages, often starting in two-high and then rotating down. New Orleans uses a lot of zone coverage, as well. The best facet of Allen's defense is the 5-0 or 6-0 fronts that it uses on third down to confuse offensive lines and get to the quarterback. The team's pressure rate on third down last year ranked second-best in the NFL.
