The Saints are still seeking a winning formula and hope to get on track vs a visiting 49ers team thats also starting the season 0-1. Here are 9 attainable goals that could help the Saints establish an identity and secure a week 2 victory.
Be aggressive, go for it on a minimum two 4th downs
AK with 15+ touches minimum, run and pass. Kendre Miller minimum 8 touches run/pass/ST’s
4-5 deep shots called. 1 or more per Quarter. Get Rashid involved
Blitz more than you bluff to keep Mac Jones uncomfortable in the pocket
Force at least one takeaway
Feature a package of Devaughn Vele, Alvin Kamara, Juwan Johnson, and Kendre Miller starting inside the 20
Minimum 5 rushing attempts for Rattler on the day. Good things happen when he uses his legs.
Utilize tempo/no-huddle as a legitimate weapon
Protect your tackles and run the ball. Minimum 25 attempts.

The Saints starter at right tackle has been dealing with an inflamed patella tendon injury that caused him to miss the 4th quarter vs the Cardinals, but is expected to go vs the 49ers.
Fuaga shed some light into his plan on dealing with the injury.
“This year, (I’ve) just got to have a routine for my knees,” Fuaga said. “Obviously, a routine I’m probably going to keep for the rest of my career, just to make sure I never have these problems again.
The Saints traded with the Cowboys for backup Asim Richards to shore up the offensive tackle depth following a season ending injury to Nick Saldiveri.
