Wholesale changes to the offensive line have the Saints anticipating a vastly improved performance in 2024.
needed to fix an offensive line that was woeful last season. Over the last two years, the Saints have averaged less than 110 yards rushing per game, ranking in the bottom half of the NFL. Their 3.6 average per run in 2023 ranked an abysmal 31st in the league. Over their last 34 games, New Orleans quarterbacks had been sacked 73 times and often under heavy duress.
There's a common theme among these personnel changes. Udoh played for three years under Kubiak and Dennison in Minnesota. Lemieux and Patrick have excelled in a zone-blocking scheme, the system that Kubiak is expected to employ with the Saints. Udoh and Herron have both played left tackle. Fuaga, who was primarily a right tackle at Oregon State, worked at left tackle during the team's rookie mini-camp. Expect him to see more reps there during the upcoming OTA workouts later this month.
