New Orleans Saints Wide Zone Offense Must Improve Run Game, Alvin Kamara's Usage
April 11, 2024 13:23 - 30 minutes - 28.5 MBThe New Orleans Saints brought in Klint Kubiak to fix their offense. And it has to put Alvin Kamara in position to succeed in the meanwhile. Without that, Derek Carr and the Saints offense will be capped by what the passing game can do. But the wide zone offense absolutely must live by its run game. Elevating talent like Jamaal Williams and Kendre Miller should be top priority behind AK. MarShawn Lloyd and Dylan Laube were on top-30 visits for New Orleans. Could the Saints backfield see a n...

New Orleans Saints Can’t Miss On Dallas Turner Is He Falls In 2024 NFL Draft
April 08, 2024 07:05 - 31 minutes - 28.8 MBYes, the New Orleans Saints should prioritize their offensive line, but a falling Dallas Turner is just too good to pass up. Even with Ole Fashanu, Troy Fautanu and Taliese Fuaga on the board, Turner would have to be the pick in the first round. That is, unless another top player falls as well. Brock Bowers may not be the favorite pick, but he could be the pick for the Saints. And if so, they can still address their offensive line, defensive line and wide receiver needs. JOIN SUBTEXT: ht...

New Orleans Saints Drafting First Round Quarterback Hard to Justify Except for Jayden Daniels
April 03, 2024 15:24 - 30 minutes - 27.9 MBThe New Orleans Saints roster is in no shape for luxury picks. So drafting or trading up for a quarterback in the 2024 NFL Draft is tough to justify. Except if it's for a falling Jayden Daniels from LSU. Sticking and picking Bo Nix or Michael Penix Jr. at 14 doesn't make much sense and a move up to the top four would be incredibly hard to pull off with the Minnesota Vikings ready to pounce with two first-round picks in 2024 and two more between 2025 and 2026.

Signing Justin Simmons Among 3 Surprise Moves New Orleans Saints Must Consider
March 29, 2024 16:48 - 29 minutes - 27.5 MBThe New Orleans Saints landed one big fish signing Chase Young, but could take it another step by signing Justin Simmons after this 2024 NFL Draft if he's still available. Another trade up for a star pass-catcher fits the Saints' MO of recent years and a Taysom Hill trade may not be out of the question, but is a move the team should avoid.

March 28, 2024 16:34 - 29 minutes - 27.6 MBThe New Orleans Saints got some not-so-splendid news around Ryan Ramczyk's recovery and now Oregon State T Taliese Fuaga looks to be everyone's favorite solution. And they may be right. The Oregon State Beaver hasn't allowed a sack in either of the last two years despite his full-time workload at right tackle. He could be the right decision while Ramczyk recovers and even beyond. Michigan wideout Roman Wilson has a unique skills set that could be beneficial for the New Orleans Saints. But h...

March 25, 2024 07:05 - 28 minutes - 26.1 MBWith the New Orleans Saints clearly focused on bolstering pass rush with the signing of Chase Young, they could keep it going by drafting Johnny Newton or Byron Murphy in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

March 22, 2024 15:32 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBWhen healthy and on the field, New Orleans Saints defensive end Chase Young can change the way the team plays defense. While Carl Granderson and Cameron Jordan benefit from having another running-mate at pass rusher, Marshon Lattimore, Paulson Adebo and Alontae Taylor benefit from having someone get the quarterback quickly with his speed and disrupting the rhythm of a defense.

Why the young edge rusher would give the Saints both what they want and what they're learning to love at pass rusher. Avonte Maddox would be a good signing for depth, but the visit should not be taken as a full-on sign of an upcoming Marshon Lattimore trade. At least not yet.

Tyrann Mathieu Should Finish Career With New Orleans Saints | Michael Thomas Out
March 08, 2024 15:40 - 30 minutes - 28.4 MBThe New Orleans Saints and Tyrann Mathieu will now be together through the 2025 season, bringing him one step closing to retiring a Saint. Tyrann Mathieu will remain with his hometown team adding another year to his contract and reducing his 2024 salary to provide much needed cap relief for the Saints.

New Orleans Saints, Marshon Lattimore Trade Does Not Have To Happen
March 05, 2024 15:50 - 30 minutes - 28.6 MBThe New Orleans Saints restructured Marshon Lattimore's contract in such a way that it makes a trade possible, but not at all inevitable. While teams should be interested in Lattimore, Mickey Loomis and Dennis Allen are in no way required to move on from him. Lattimore is no salary dump, therefore the team doesn't have to move him for an undervalued return. With Michael Thomas set to hit free agency and the injury outlook for Ryan Ramczyk looking much more possitive, a possession wide recei...
