The Saints’ debut got a mixed grade from PFF: offense shined in passing and receiving, special teams soared, but the run game and defense stumbled—especially stopping the run. Key players like Olave, Fant, and Etienne excelled, while Fuaga and Ruiz struggled on the line. Broughton dominated on defense, but tackling issues lingered. The team’s tendencies show conservative defensive play and heavy use of multiple receivers offensively. Big improvements needed in run-stopping and offensive line play to compete.
