Five things the special teams will need to improve on Sunday for the New Orleans Saints

By Dean Mullen

The Saints had seven penalties for 53 yards last week. That wasn’t horrible, but there is room for improvement. There will probably be one opportunity to make a huge play in special teams today. The Saints will need to make sure that the blocks are clean. Also, lets not give any extra yardage for foolish things like facemasks or late hits. A penalty that negates a huge play on special teams can really suck the air out of a team. Just make the referees keep the yellow in their pants. This is why they have pockets.
