Leonard's coverage kept Olave short (9.3 ADOT) but allowed 100+ yards and 32 YAC.

Against the Raiders, Rob Leonard's defensive strategy was to keep Olave in front of the secondary to prevent explosive plays, willing to concede short routes. Olave had over 100 yards but no explosive plays, posting his second-lowest average depth of target (9.3 yards) of the season with his highest YAC total (32 yards), per PFF. The strategy worked because the Saints lacked another receiver to threaten downfield.
