3 things the Saints need to fix coming out of the bye week

Turnover ratio

The Saints current turnover ratio is one.

That means that every time the Saints defense gets a turnover, the offense also gives up a turnover. This one needs to be fixed on both sides of the ball just like penalties and third-down conversions.

The offense needs to stop giving the ball up so frequently. The black and gold’s defense are averaging bottom ten in takeaways per game. The offense is averaging a little less at 0.9 giveaways per contest played thus far.

For the Saints to be a truly good team, both of these are going to have to be fixed. They need to continue to take care of the ball; and at the same time, the defense needs to figure out how to cause more turnovers per game.

The New Orleans Saints are going to have to fix some things coming out of their bye. Losing two of their first five games with as hard of a schedule as the Saints have can’t happen. Now, they are going to fight an uphill battle for the rest of the season.
