The New Orleans Saints have had a roller coaster of a season thus far. Breaking down their first quarter of the season reveals where they've been strong and where there's still room to improve. Jameis Winston and the New Orleans Saints may not be putting up a ton of yards, but they're scoring at a top-5 clip in terms of passing touchdowns. Meanwhile Alvin Kamara and the injured offensive line are still rushing at a top-10 rate.
On the defensive side, putting together a stronger pass rush has been the main focus of evaluation over the first quarter of the year. Can the Saints improve that area of the defense even before the returns of David Onyemata and Marcus Davenport? Meanwhile on offense, the Saints will look to find a way to string together longer drives and take more time off the clock.
Michael Thomas, David Onyemata, and Wil Lutz are obvious boosts to get back for the team. But any and all players returning have the ability to help set the Saints up for noticeable improvements.
