So Chris Olave could get favorable matchups, and the Saints could run the ball up the middle. The only problem is Leonard loves to rotate coverage and play a lot of pattern-matching concepts, forcing quarterbacks to hold onto the ball a little longer as they diagnose the defense.

Olave faces favorable CB matchups but Leonard's scheme complicates reads.

Saints wide receiver Chris Olave could get favorable matchups against the Raiders' defense, which is weak at defensive tackle and pretty young at cornerback with either rookie Hezekiah Masses or second-year player Darien Porter (with just 11 career starts) starting. However, defensive coordinator Rob Leonard's scheme emphasizes rotation coverage, pattern-matching concepts, and stunts in the trenches, which could complicate Olave's ability to simply line up and target a specific defender.
