Tre’quan Smith shows out|Defense meh[Podcast] Saints are 1-0 to start the pre-season and that means absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things.What does matter is Taysom Hill showing glimpses of the talent that has intrigued the Saints Womens Alvin Kamara Jersey , the defense having somewhat of an off kilter day(omit the defensive line from this as they were stellar), and Tre’Quan Smith having his performances from the practice field translate to game-day success.Naturally, there were quite a few things to like along with things to nit-pick and Deuce and Ellias analyze it all as they recap your New Orleans Saints come from behind 24-20 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars.Who Dat!There are multiple ways to catch your favorite Saints podcast!

Let’s start with the offensive line...Pro Football Focus ranked all NFL offensive lines following the 2017 season Womens Josh LeRibeus Jersey , and the Saints came in 9th overall:Long-time New Orleans Saints staple Zach Strief won’t be back with the Saints in 2017, and unfortunately, the Saints were not able to retain Senio Kelemete who signed with the Houston Texans via free agency.So here’s why they’re better in 2018:Bill Streicher-USA TODAY SportsFirst things first, the New Orleans Saints have a relatively young offensive line outside of Max Unger. Terron Armstead is still in his prime (albeit he remains a consistent injury risk concern). Larry Warford is only 26, and he surprised many with his level of production in New Orleans. Andrus Peat continues to develop and 2017 1st Round Pick Ryan Ramczyk was one of the steals of the entire draft last year.The main reason the Saints offensive line should be better in 2018 is that this young core should continue to grow and improve year after year. While the losses of Strief and Kelemete could hurt, Strief was injured for almost the entirety of the 2017 regular season. Kelemete was the back-up who stepped up in 2017 Womens Benjamin Watson Jersey , so it is primarily that depth that will be missed.The Saints re-signed long-time Saint Jermon Bushrod to come in and provide that depth on the offensive line, and the Saints drafted two intriguing offensive line pieces in the 2018 NFL Draft: Rick Leonard (4th Round) and Will Clapp (7th Round). Leonard and/or Clapp both have an outside chance of seeing meaningful snaps in 2018. If Armstead is able to play a full 2018 season (Armstead hasn’t played more than 13 games in a single season since 2014), and we see the growth from players like Ramczyk and Peat that we expect, the Saints’ offensive line could improve from just the top half of units in the NFL, but to one of the very best.
