The New Orleans Saints are 7-3 on the year, and are in sole-possession of first-place in the NFC Saints.

Like with every team though, there's certainly room for improvement.

With the bye week here for the black & gold, they can use it to get healthy, with linebacker Jonathan Vilma, cornerback Patrick Robinson, along with head coach Sean Payton being the most banged-up.

But the Saints can also use the bye week to work on areas that need improving, such as establishing a more consistent running attack, and becoming a better red zone defense.

In defense of Saints' red zone defense, the Falcons gained 481 yards of total offense last Sunday, yet only scored 23 points, in an overtime game, as the New Orleans defense was much better in the red zone.

What other areas do the Saints need to improve on following the bye week?
