While the New Orleans Saints are getting healthier, key pieces on offense like Erik McCoy and defense like Marcus Williams are expected to be out. The Saints will need to rely on Taysom Hill as a weapon and force the Carolina Panthers to account for him early and often in the run game, opening it up for Alvin Kamara and Deonte Harris (if he returns in time). The New Orleans Saints, even without McCoy have the weapons they need to produce on offense as a higher rate than they have so far this season.
Defensively the Saints match up well with what Carolina will want to do with Sam Darnold under center. But can they compound the pass rush and generate more takeaways in the passing game in order to buy extra possession for their offense? With Marcus Williams out, one players could change the course of the game. PJ Williams is no stranger to the Saints' free safety position, but Dennis Allen may still look to make some adjustments with Marcus out and PJ in. Those adjustments could be a difference making element of this game.
Doug Mouton of WWL-TV joins to talk Erik McCoy, Taysom Hill, and Brother Martin alum Will Clapp who could see an expanded and important role this week against the Panthers. Doug also discusses the confidence in the New Orleans Saints despite their shaky home record this season and why Saints fans can be optimistic going into Sunday's game.
