New Orleans Saints offensive line struggles remain under the microscope

Following a third straight preseason loss, New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton didn't hold back on the issues he believes are plaguing the team.

"The one thing that's concerning and troubling right now is Week 3 of the preseason that our ability to protect and then our ability to rush the passer," Payton said. "Those are two things I think that if you just watch the game that are concerning, obviously very concerning."

The Saints got to the Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterbacks four times (one sack, three quarterback hits) on the game, but quickly fell behind 14-0 in the first quarter before losing 27-14.
