Saints focus on key areas before preseason finale against Cowboys
Summary

The New Orleans Saints are set to face the Dallas Cowboys on August 28 for their preseason finale, entering the match with an 0-2 record. After a significant loss to the Los Angeles Rams, New Orleans aims to address concerns in key positions, including quarterback, offensive line, defensive line, and secondary. Quarterbacks Spencer Rattler and Zach Wilson have struggled to assert themselves, while the offensive line has faced challenges in both pass protection and establishing the run. The Saints need better performances from their defensive line to improve their run defense and pass rush. Several players in the secondary may also be competing for limited roster spots after recent coverage issues.
