Week 2 - Saints @ Panthers

BakoSaint · 09-17-2023, 05:04 PM

The Saints, Atlanta, and Tampa have all looked good this year. We don't know which is best. The Saints spent more 2024 salary cap to win now in 2023 and will be less well positioned to add talent in free agency and retain breakout stars in the upcoming offseason, but for now we will have to wait further for the season to play out to see who is best. The NFC South is 3-0 against the NFC North so its not clear we are an especially weak division at all, though we haven't played the Lions yet and they haven't played Carolina yet.

Most things can be overcome in the NFL through scheming and playcalling. We simply need to exploit match ups. Carolina spends almost 90% of their snaps in zone. Chris Olave excels in finding the holes in the zone. We need to spread that zone out and create holes in the defense. Four and Five Wide sets.

Need to win. Period. Losing to Carolina puts us in the hole in the Dirty South and we need to lead from the front, as the saying goes.
