It was always going to be a challenging game, and without Taliese Fuaga on the other side, Banks was really the only great offensive lineman the Saints had. Like last week, New Orleans\u2019 opponents, the Miami Dolphins, are going to have a good pass rush, and Banks will be tested.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Last week, Shough had a very similar performance to the one against the Rams. It wasn\u2019t excellent, but it wasn\u2019t bad either. Still, if the playcalling had been better, we would have talked about this performance differently. Now, against the Dolphins, hopefully, the addition of Fuaga and potentially Kellen Moore putting more trust in his QB, Shough could have a better performance. The main issue to watch out for is if Chris Olave is out with his injury, because that would get scary for Sunday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Jonas Sanker is going to have a massive job on Sunday. Tackling is extremely important against the Dolphins because their players will dominate if they can run freely. The good news is Sanker won\u2019t have to worry about the deep ball as much (but still might happen) due to Tua Tagovailoa\u2019s lack of arm strenght. Also, Tagovailoa is prone to turning the ball over.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Speaking of players that can take advantage of risky throws, Quincy Riley can get an interception in this game. Obviously, first focusing on coverage is essential, but Riley can be a real ball hawk in this defense, and with how Brandon Staley is having his players play, I could see it happening.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">After Kelvin Banks and Tyler Shough, Devin Neal is going to have the most pressure in this game. If he does play (Neal is on the practice injury report right now), Neal will have a massive day. It looks like Alvin Kamara is going to be out with his knee injury, and the Dolphins\u2019 run defense is near league-worst.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Let\u2019s start the breakdown for the New Orleans Saints Sunday matchup against the Miami Dolphins!
