Saints Insider

(Our apologies for a couple of audio lapses because of technical difficulties.) The New Orleans Saints finally play their first division game of the NFL season here in Week 8, facing the NFC South-leading Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday at the Caesars Superdome. Our Saints Insider crew breaks the game down, examining the impact of season-ending injuries to Erik McCoy and Kendre Miller, a long list of Bucs players missing the game and more, including how the Saints will try to slow Baker Mayfield and what the game means for Spencer Rattler. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nflweek8 #nflpicks #tampabaybuccaneers #gobucs #football #fantasyfootball

With the New Orleans Saints sitting at 1-6 and suffering key season-ending injuries in their loss to the Chicago Bears on Sunday, our Saints Insiders take a look at what could be an inflection point for the team in the 2025 NFL season. We examine comments made by Mickey Loomis on his radio show, wonder about his future and how the team will be built in the near-term. We also take a look at the Tyler Shough question: When do you take a look at what the second-round rookie can do in a live game? How much would an upset win in the next two weeks change things for Spencer Rattler? #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nflweek8 #football #fantasyfootball #nflquarterbacks

The New Orleans Saints travel to face the Chicago Bears in NFL Week 7, and as they seek their first road victory of the year (and just second win overall), they'll face a familiar name in Bears defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, who was just fired as Saints head coach 11 months ago. Our Saints Insider crew breaks down the game, including the Bears' penchant for forcing turnovers, the Kendre Miller revenge angle and how the weather can affect this game. Finally, we give our keys to the game and make predictions. #saints #neworleanssaints #nfl #nflweek7 #bears #chicagobears #football #fantasyfootball #footballpicks #whodat #whodatnation

Lots to talk about on today's episode of the Saints Insider podcast as we try to lend context to the Saints' 1-5 start, including: • A specific way in which this defense has been historically bad • How would Tyler Shough be viewed if he had the same stats as Spencer Rattler? • Ranking Rattler, Caleb Williams and the 2024 QB draft class • Which Saints might get traded over the next three weeks? #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nflweek7 #football #nfltrades #fantasyfootball

Finally, we give our keys to the game and predictions. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #patriots #newenglandpatriots #nfl #nflweek6 #football #footballpicks #fantasyfootball

The New Orleans Saints broke their eight-game drought with a victory over the New York Giants on Sunday. It was an impressive performance in many ways, but how many of those are sustainable for this team? Was the improved defense a product of turnover luck or a real change? What about the contributions from young players? On the flip side, the offense's problems in the red zone are a continued issue and the special teams are struggling. Our Saints Insiders break down their takeaways in this episode. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nflweek6 #football

The New Orleans Saints return to the Superdome still looking for their first win.

Our Saints Insiders break down the matchup from every angle, break down the injury report and give our predictions for Sunday's game in this week's special live edition of the Saints Insider podcast. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #giants #nygiants #nfl #nflweek5 #football #fantasyfootball

Our Saints Insider team gathers with the New Orleans Saints roughly a quarter of the way through their season to go through the roster position by position and determine how things have changed since the beginning of the schedule. Included in the discussion: • Spencer Rattler has played better. But is Tyler Shough looming? • What's up with the receivers? • D-line really needs Chase Young • Disappointments and surprises in the secondary • Will special teams problem linger? #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nflweek5 #football #fantasyfootball

The New Orleans Saints are 15.5-point underdogs against the Super Bowl favorite Buffalo Bills in an NFL Week 4 game. Can the Saints shake off their embarrassment in Seattle last week and shock the NFL world? Probably not. But can they keep it competitive? Maybe. Our Saints Insiders will break it all down for you on this episode, including keys to a shocker and our predictions. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #bills #buffalobills #nfl #nflweek4 #football #fantasyfootball

The New Orleans Saints suffered a 44-13 blowout loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, dropping their record to 0-3 and raising questions about the team and its new coaching staff. While everyone expected 2025 to be a rebuilding year, our Saints Insiders answer these questions: Is this rock bottom for the Saints? Was Kellen Moore overconfident in his ability to make this Saints team competitive? And what are some reasons it could get better from here? #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nflweek3 #football #fantasyfootball #nflcoaches

The New Orleans Saints hit the road for the first time in the 2025 NFL regular season, and they'll do it in a tough environment in Seattle against the Seahawks' formidable defense. Can Spencer Rattler continue his strong play on the road against a tough defense? What about the offensive line injuries? And can the defense figure out a way to stymie an attack led by Klint Kubiak? Our Saints Insiders break down the game and offer their keys and predictions for Saints vs. Seahawks. #saints #neworleanssaints #nfl #nflweek3 #whodat #whodatnation #football #fantasyfootball

The New Orleans Saints have played two games and lost both, falling in close games to the Arizona Cardinals and San Francisco 49ers. It's easy to jump to conclusions after just two games, but our Saints Insiders are here to discuss whether some of their early impressions of Saints players are real ... or not so real. Some of the topics: • Spencer Rattler's promising start • Cam Jordan's renaissance • Juwan Johnson's breakout • Cesar Ruiz's struggles #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nfl2025 #nflweek3 #football #fantasyfootball

The New Orleans Saints play the San Francisco 49ers in Week 2 of the NFL season on Sunday. The Niners likely will be without starting quarterback Brock Purdy and tight end George Kittle, so it's an opportunity for Saints coach Kellen Moore and quarterback Spencer Rattler to notch their first victories. We break down the matchups on both sides of the ball, give injury updates and let you know the inside scoop from the locker room. Finally, we give you keys to the game and score predictions for Saints-49ers. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nflweek2 #football #footballpicks #fantasyfootball

The New Orleans Saints have a starting quarterback. It's Spencer Rattler, the second-year pro who beat out rookie Tyler Shough to start against the Arizona Cardinals when the regular season opens Sept. 7. Our Saints Insiders analyze the decision, what to expect from Rattler, why he won the job and how long he can be expected to keep it. Also on Tuesday, the Saints set their initial 53-man roster, making a couple of notable cuts, and also traded for a reserve offensive lineman. Busy day? We're here to break it all down. #saints #neworleanssaints #nfl #nflquarterbacks #nflpreseason #nfl2025 #whodat #whodatnation #fantasyfootball #football

The New Orleans Saints have had a busy final week of the NFL preseason, concocting a trade with the Denver Broncos for wide receiver Devaughn Vele while they prepare for the preseason finale against the Broncos with their quarterback battle still up in the air. Spencer Rattler will start Saturday, followed by Tyler Shough. Our Saints Insiders dissect it all, from the price for the Vele trade to their take on why this might be Rattler's chance to cement himself as the regular-season starter. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nflpreseason #nfltrainingcamp #fantasyfootball #football

The Saints Insiders are back with a look at why the New Orleans Saints still haven't chosen a starting quarterback — and why the delay might not be that big of a deal. Also in this episode, our standouts and step-backs from the first two weeks of preseason for both offensive and defensive players, including: • Mason Tipton • Rashid Shaheed • Cesar Ruiz • Jonas Sanker • Kool-Aid McKinstry • Isaiah Foskey #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nflpreseason #nflquarterbacks #fantasyfootball #football

The New Orleans Saints are back from California just two days from their second preseason game, this one against the Jacksonville Jaguars at the Superdome. The Saints have yet to name a starting quarterback for the game, so our Saints Insiders take a stab at whether Spencer Rattler or Tyler Shough will take the first snaps. Also in this episode: • Takeaways from joint practice with Rams • Reasons for optimism on defense • The favorite to be the backup running back • Depth concerns at O-line, wide receiver #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nflpreseason #nflquarterbacks #nfltrainingcamp

What does that mean for the Saints' rotation and for Trevor Penning? Also, Times-Picayune beat writers Matthew Paras and Luke Johnson give their take on the quarterback competition, specifically whether Tyler Shough's momentum has given him the lead over Spencer Rattler. Also in this episode: • Come on, Kellen, be real about Jake Haener • Real optimism on Saints' run defense • What to watch for in joint practices #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nfltrainingcamp #nflpreseason #nflquarterbacks #rams

For the first time this training camp, the New Orleans Saints have shifted their preset rotation of which quarterbacks were working with the first team and second team, as Spencer Rattler took his second straight day with the 1's over rookie Tyler Shough. What does that mean? Our Saints Insiders are here to break it down. We also give our (non-QB) takeaways from Sunday's big intrasquad scrimmage, early impressions of the 2025 draft class and look ahead to the Saints' upcoming practices in California. #saints #neworleanssaints #nfl #nfltrainingcamp #nflpreseason #nflbetting #whodat #whodatnation #nflquarterbacks

The New Orleans Saints finally had a practice in full pads Monday, and our Saints Insiders — beat writers Luke Johnson and Matthew Paras and columnists Jeff Duncan and Rod Walker — were there to observe.

With training camp just days away, the Saints Insiders are back with an episode on reasonable expectations for each defensive position group on the 2025 New Orleans Saints. • Can Brandon Staley's alignment unlock more pass rush, either from the edge or other positions? • The run defense can't get much worse, but how much better can it be? • Can Demario Davis continue to defy Father Time? And what's the backup plan if he can't? • The depth is perilously thin at corner, but Alontae Taylor might become a star • Is Justin Reid the best player on this defense? #saints #neworleanssaints #nfl #nfloffseason #nfltrainingcamp #whodat #whodatnation

The Saints Insiders (some of them, anyway) are back from vacation, and just in time to comment on the New Orleans Saints' new white helmets.

The New Orleans Saints are going through a roster reset, if not a full rebuild, and so they'll need young players to break out in 2025. Who are the top candidates for the sort of season that can turn a rookie into a starter or a solid player into a star? Our Saints Insiders discuss their choices. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nflrookies #nfldraft #nfloffseason #saintsnation

Several pundits, rankings and odds boards have listed the New Orleans Saints as the worst team in the NFL or the team the least likely to win the Super Bowl. Our Saints Insiders discuss whether there's a case for that, what reasons the Saints have for optimism and the paths that lead to each outcome, including: • A look at the QB battle between Spencer Rattler and Tyler Shough • The pros and cons of rookie head coach Kellen Moore and staff • Is the defense still in decline? • Could the offensive line actually save this team? #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nfloffseason #nflpowerrankings #nflodds

The New Orleans Saints are done with minicamp and their offseason program, so with five weeks still to go before training camp, we take an early look at the team's final 53-man roster for opening day in September. Lots could change in camp, between player performances and injuries, but for now, we'll discuss: • The backup running back spots • Who will fill out the receiving corps? • Will the Saints carry eight or nine offensive linemen? • Who's the odd man out at defensive tackle? • How is the secondary organized? • Could either the incumbent kicker or punter be in danger? #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #

The New Orleans Saints have reached the end of their offseason program with mandatory minicamp.

The New Orleans Saints have some salary cap space for once — about $29M that could be spend before the 2025 season begins. Our Saints Insider crew breaks down how likely it is the team will spend most of that and on whom: Gabe Davis, Cam Akers, Asante Samuel Jr, Jaire Alexander or someone else? And is a trade to get Trey Hendrickson back to New Orleans even possible? We'll break it all down in this episode. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nflfreeagency #nfloffseason

With all the talk about the New Orleans Saints' quarterback situation and offensive rebuild, it felt like high time to talk about all of the changes on the defensive side of the ball. With a new coordinator in Brandon Staley, the Saints are bringing back the 3-4 defense. How much will really change? Could Chase Young and Alontae Taylor unlock their potential? And who else will be key to this defense improving on poor marks in 2024? Our Times-Picayune beat writers, Luke Johnson and Matthew Paras, join editor Zach Ewing to discuss all things defense. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nfloffseason

As the New Orleans Saints go through their second OTA this week, our Saints Insiders take a step back and rank the team's nine position groups, from worst to best.

If there's a skill-position player NFL teams are all coveting in the top 10 of the NFL Draft, it's Boise State running back Ashton Jeanty.

Our Saints Insiders — Times-Picayune columnists Jeff Duncan and Rod Walker and host Zach Ewing — go through the possibilities and also examine some other skill players whom the Saints might consider, like Penn State tight end Tyler Warren and Arizona wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan. #saints #whodat #neworleanssaints #nfldraft #2025nfldraft #nfl #nfloffseason #ashtonjeanty

Several recent mock drafts have the Saints either taking a quarterback with the No. 9 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, or trading for another pick to take a QB. Is there fire to this smoke? Our Saints Insiders — Times-Picayune beat writers Luke Johnson and Matthew Paras and columnists Jeff Duncan and Rod Walker — take on that question.
