New Orleans Saints Coach Dennis Allen saw some things he liked and some things he didn't so much like in the teams' preseason opener, a 16-14 victory over Arizona at State Farm Stadium on Saturday night. In other words, he saw a typical first NFL preseason game. Among the good was the way the Saints' young backup quarterbacks operated "under the lights." Second-year veteran Jake Haener took over for Derek Carr after the first two series and after a few nondescript drives, he led the Saints on an 11-play, 40-yard drive that led to Blake Grupe's 26-yard field goal with 2:58 left in the half.
