New Orleans Saints Miss On Odell Beckham Jr. But Can Resurrect Passing Offense Vs. Titans




Locked On Saints - Daily Podcast On The New Orleans Saints show

Summary: The New Orleans Saints might have missed out on adding Odell Beckham Jr, but the Tennessee Titans present valuable opportunity for Deonte Harris and Marquez Callaway to build on a strong fourth quarter against Atlanta. Alvin Kamara may be unavailable, but Mark Ingram has been the lead back before, can he keep the run game productive in Nashville? Odell Beckham Jr. is on his way to join the Los Angeles Rams, so the New Orleans Saints will have to improve their pass-catching woes with the receivers and tight ends already in the facility. Spacing, drops, separation have all been an issue. But creativity, match ups, and versatility are key to how the Saints can improve their situation in-house. Alvin Kamara seems likely to miss Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans, but the Saints should still focus on dominating the run game. Even with injuries on the offensive line throughout the season, New Orleans has been productive on the ground. Mark Ingram's return looks all the more timely and equips the Saints with someone who is scheme-versatile, familiar with the system, and yards away from a franchise record. New Orleans also has unique players who can help change the pace, including a potential practice squad elevation along with Ty Montgomery and Taysom Hill. The Saints receivers have taken a lot of criticism this season, but the one area of the game they've excelled all year, particularly Marquez Callaway and Deonte Harris, has been against Zone coverage. Janoris Jenkins, Elijah Molden, and the Titans' defense rely heavily on coverage schemes that could help the Saints rebound in the passing game.
