Saints 5 Biggest Red Flags Heading Into 2016

Utah_Saint · 06-20-2016, 02:30 PM

My biggest concern is, and has been in the Payton era, defensive position coaching.

I only see 3 real red flags. All 32 teams have injuries and back-up QB as red flags.

1. Pass rush - I do agree its a red flag, but we have several potential candidates and it I'd be surprised if we weren't significantly better than last year.

2. Kicker - He's not on the team yet. We'll add a veteran and probably be middle of the pack.

3. OG. Like Pass Rush, we have several guys who could emerge. Should at least be better than last year.

I'd imagine most teams have 5 or more.

I can't believe he didn't mention the battle between Lelito and Kelemete. They were both pulled because of poor play last year. Personally, that scares the hell of me more than anything else.

Luke did just fine in Drews absence. I think we have one of the best backups in the league. We need a kicker.
