Predicting the New Orleans Saints 2024 Record

[@skater1048]

While the Falcons have made notable additions, such as Kirk Cousins at quarterback, the Saints have quietly built a roster and coaching staff that position them as the superior team. Here’s why the Saints are poised to be better than the Falcons this season: 1. Offensive Versatility and Firepower: Olave/Shaheed vs. Falcons Receivers** The Saints' receiving corps, led by Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed, offers a dynamic combination of route-running precision, deep-threat ability, and big-play potential. Olave, with his elite route-running and hands, is a consistent and reliable target, while Shaheed brings explosive speed that can take the top off any defense. Together, they create mismatches across the field, forcing defenses to account for multiple threats on every play. In contrast, while the Falcons have talent in their receiving group, the Saints' ability to deploy Olave and Shaheed in a system designed to maximize their strengths gives them the edge. Under offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, whose scheme emphasizes versatility and multi-dimensional threats, the Saints can utilize their receivers in ways that make the offense unpredictable and difficult to stop. 2. Running Game and Offensive Scheme: Kamara/Hill vs. Falcons Backfield** The combination of Alvin Kamara and Taysom Hill in the Saints’ backfield creates a dual-threat nightmare for opposing defenses. Kamara, one of the most versatile running backs in the league, excels as both a runner and a receiver. His ability to catch passes out of the backfield, line up as a receiver, and make defenders miss in open space makes him a perfect fit for Kubiak’s offense, which values flexibility and playmaking. Taysom Hill adds another layer of complexity. With his rare blend of speed, power, and versatility, Hill can line up as a fullback, tight end, quarterback, or even a running back. His presence on the field forces defenses to prepare for a wide range of possibilities, from power runs to trick plays. In a Kubiak-led system that thrives on misdirection and play-action, Kamara and Hill together form one of the most versatile and unpredictable backfields in the NFL, outmatching the Falcons’ more traditional running game. 3. Defensive Prowess: Saints Defense vs. Falcons Defense** While the Falcons have made strides on offense, they simply do not match up to the defensive juggernaut that the Saints have built. The Saints already had a top-5 defense in 2023, and they have only gotten stronger. The addition of Chase Young brings an elite pass-rushing presence, while moving Cam Jordan inside enhances the Saints’ ability to generate pressure from multiple angles. Combined with Bryan Bresee and Carl Granderson, the Saints’ defensive line is equipped to dominate opposing offensive lines. Stopping mobile quarterbacks has been a challenge in the past, but the Saints addressed this weakness by adding linebacker Willie Gay, known for his ability to contain mobile QBs. Paired with Demario Davis, Gay strengthens a linebacker corps that is both physical and fast. The secondary, anchored by Tyrann Mathieu and Marshon Lattimore, is one of the best in the league, capable of shutting down even the most potent passing attacks. Under defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, who was ranked number one in defensive play-calling by DVOA, this unit is expected to be even more dominant. Allen’s ability to scheme against opposing offenses and maximize the talent on his roster ensures that the Saints will be difficult to score against, making them a more complete and balanced team than the Falcons. 4. Coaching Advantage: Klint Kubiak and Dennis Allen** The Saints benefit not only from their roster but also from their coaching staff. Klint Kubiak’s offensive system, which emphasizes versatility, deception, and maximizing the strengths of his players, is tailor-made for the talents of Kamara, Hill, Olave, and Shaheed. On the defensive side, Dennis Allen’s expertise as a defensive play-caller and his ability to adjust in-game give the Saints a strategic advantage over the Falcons. While the Falcons may have made a splash with the addition of Kirk Cousins, the Saints’ combination of offensive versatility, defensive dominance, and elite coaching makes them the more formidable team. The Saints are not only better equipped to win games but also better positioned to make a deep playoff run, solidifying their status as the superior team in the NFC South in 2024.
