As the New Orleans Saints transition into life after Drew Brees, there are still some pretty shiny silver linings after their future Hall-of-Famer hung up the black and gold last season.
The Saints might not have a de facto quarterback to start their first game, but the rest of their offense remains elite and is more than capable of dominating in the trenches. Erik McCoy covers the interior as a Pro Bowl-caliber lineman. Cesar Ruiz could have a breakout year in his second season. Alvin Kamara has scores of yard-rushing highlight reels that haunt NFL defensive coordinators in their sleep.
