The New Orleans Saints will begin the Dennis Allen era with their first preseason game on Saturday night against the Houston Texans. Many starters will be out, but it will be your first chance to see rookies Chris Olave, Trevor Penning, and Alontae Taylor. The preseason is built for people to make a name for themselves, so you will see some future contributors for the Saints tonight.
The Houston Texans are certainly in a rebuilding phase, but that means they have a bunch of young and hungry talent on their team. This game is not the layup that some may perceive it would be if it was a regular season game. Of course, winning isn’t everything in the preseason, but you want to set a good precedent for the rest of the season.
