Observations from games impacting Saints

Guards Andrus Peat and Cesar Ruiz were human turnstiles against an Atlanta defense that blitzed and battered QB Jameis Winston throughout the first half.

From the article Smash posted ^^^ ....

This is very concerning. Especially with the Bucs coming to town. Pass protection is critical for Jameis. Just ask Dallas. Dak is out for months with a broken hand.

Guard play has been the weak link in NO for a couple of seasons now.

Week One was a pretty ideal week for the Saints. They beat a division rival on the road, the Panthers lost, and all the teams in the NFC West except the Seahawks

lost.
Like all the other teams in the league the Saints have some cleaning up to do but they're in a good spot to start the season.

I have a weird hunch of the older coaches - Carroll, Belichick, Reid might retire and Payton becomes a suitor. Again, just a hunch.

Now Kansas City would be a perfect fit for Payton. He'd get Mahomes like he's always wanted. He'd get full autonomy. And best yet, he'd be in the AFC!
