After reviewing Sunday’s win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, one has to wonder what Dennis Allen could have done if he started the season serving as the New Orleans Saints’ defensive coordinator.
Maybe it wouldn’t have been any different. Maybe the defense would have struggled all year and still crumbled under the weight of all the injuries in the secondary. But after seeing the game plan and how well he called the 24-17 victory, it’s interesting to wonder how different things might have been.
There’s little question this was the best-called game of the season for New Orleans on defense.
