The New Orleans Saints’ offensive hopes hinge on one crucial factor: dominating up front. With Tyler Shough developing under center, Travis Etienne Jr. aiming to break a years-long drought for a 1,000-yard rusher, and Chris Olave partnered with Jordyn Tyson to maximize passing game potential, it all starts, and could end, with the performance of the offensive line. The Saints’ new look O-line, featuring Kelvin Banks Jr., David Edwards, Erik McCoy, Cesar Ruiz, and Taliese Fuaga must meet the challenge of Kellen Moore’s timing-based, high-movement offense. Hitting two benchmarks: allowing 40 or fewer sacks and paving the way for a 1,000-yard rusher, could finally punch New Orleans’ playoff ticket. Position battles take center stage in camp, with depth at center, Dillon Radunz’s versatility, and rookie Jeremiah Wright’s development setting the stage for a season where the trenches will decide the Saints’ fate. 00:21 It All Starts Up Front 10:51 Two Stats To Produce Playoff Football 19:42 Unique OL Battles 26:22 How The OL Ties It All Together Photo Credit: Eric Hartline-Imagn Images BECOME A LOCKED ON SAINTS ALL-ACCESS MEMBER: https://lockedonsaints.supercast.com/ Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-saints/ Locked On NFL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft & More 🎧https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-nfl/ LouisianaSports.Net's Ross Jackson hosts the Locked On Saints Podcast keeping the Who Dat Nation up-to-date with everything you need to know about your beloved New Orleans Saints.
