The New Orleans Saints may have dropped their Monday night Miami Dolphins matchup, but their season still isn't over. The Saints have every intent on competing and still getting to the playoffs, and the road isn't an insurmountable one. The Saints were up against some challenging circumstances this week, most of which temporary, which leaves the door open for hope and optimism with two NFC South games left to go. Ian Book struggled in his debut, completing only 60% of passes and throwing a pick-six. But he, just like the Saints team as a whole, had the cards stacked against him from the outset. A makeshift offensive line that featured a player that hadn't taken an NFL snap since 2017, pass-catchers that have drawn concern all season, and a run game that couldn't get going. Evaluating Book off of this game is nearly futile, but some questions should be asked about the usage of Alvin Kamara. On a good note, rookie Pete Werner had a debut of his own as the defensive signal caller and performed remarkably well. He led the team in tackles, played really well in the run game and contributed in coverage as well. The future of the former Ohio State Buckeye is a bright one.

The New Orleans Saints defied the odds in 2021, but looking ahead to 2022, the offensive struggles cannot persist. Particularly in the passing game. Rookie cornerback Paulson Adebo and the Saints' retooling of the cornerback position should be an indication of how impactful the team can be if they do focus on this high-value position, even if Michael Thomas is expected to return from his injury. Alabama Wide Receiver Jameson Williams was easily the top WR on many NFL Draft evaluator boards. But now that he's suffered an ACL injury, it could potentially impact the availability of other top wideout prospects like Chris Olave, Garrett Wilson, Drake London, and Treylon Burks. With the Minnesota Vikings, New York Giants, Chicago Bears, Miami Dolphins, and Denver Broncos all in the head coaching search, could the Saints lose defensive coordinator Dennis Allen this offseason? He and assistant GM/director of college scouting Jeff Ireland should be hot names in the searches around the NFL following Black Monday and the coach firings around the league.
