The New Orleans Saints will be without head coach Sean Payton this weekend against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Defensive coordinator Dennis Allen will take on his role as head coach while offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael steps into playcalling responsibilities.Dennis Allen was the best choice for the head coaching role based on his combination of NFL head coaching experience, institutional knowledge, and ability to maintain what the Saints do best - defense.OC Pete Carmichael has been just as large a part of the Saints' offensive success since joining Sean Payton as anyone else. He has the ability to maintain the rhythm, cadence, and familiarity of a game called by Payton.But what will potentially be lost in this game is Payton's fire, his risk-taking nature, and his situational specialization. Can the Saints overcome all of this plus injuries to upset the Bucs again?Follow & Subscribe to the Locked On Saints Podcast on these platforms… ? Apple https://apple.co/3tzKxZe?
