Defense Will Be Key To New Orleans 1970 Success
The Saints, strong on offense in 1969, must bolster their defense to contend in 1970. Coach Tom Fears expects a better secondary led by new and returning players, with rookies challenging safety spots and a youthful, competitive defensive line. Quarte rb Kilmer remains a seasoned play caller as Abramowicz and Burrough join the receiving corps. Running game could improve if Livingston returns to form post knee surgery.
