Target tight ends against Zack Baun, P.J. Williams

So, the Patriots have spread the Saints out and solidified their right tackle spot.

Now what?

Go after No. 26 and 53.

Williams (No. 26) is a hybrid safety/nickelback, and New Orleans’ worst-graded coverage player the past three seasons, per Pro Football Focus. Opposing quarterbacks have gone 6-of-7 when targeting him this year. Per PFF, Baun has been the Saints’ worst pass defender overall this season, making him an easy target for running backs and tight ends. These are the players the Patriots should look to exploit first through Henry and Smith, particularly on early downs. If they can’t, Jakobi Meyers could make quick work of Williams in the slot or Adebo on the outside come third down.
