“You have to be your authentic self. If I become some raging screamer, the guys are going to look at me like I’m an idiot.” "Everyone, no matter who it is, is going to be compared to him.” I wrote about whether Kellen Moore is the next Sean Payton: www.nola.com/sports/saint...

First post here in a while, but there's no better way to break it with a 53-man roster projection: www.nola.com/sports/saint...

Here for now since Twitter hasn't watched The Social Network

For #Saints fans coming on here there’s several us here already @nickunderhill.bsky.social @rossjacksonnola.bsky.social @bylukejohnson.bsky.social @matthewparas.bsky.social @kat-terrell.bsky.social @rodwalkernola.bsky.social Lot more but follow everyone!

15 years ago today, Ambush happened and the Saints won the Super Bowl. Thomas Morstead talks about one of the biggest plays in Saints history. Story courtesy of Luke Johnson. www.nola.com/sports/saint...

Kellen Moore was asked about coaching the Saints. Here's what he had to say. www.nola.com/sports/saint...

I had some thoughts about Aaron Glenn choosing the Jets over the Saints and what that means for the team's coaching search: www.nola.com/sports/saint...

I don't know if the Saints should cut Derek Carr this offseason, but if they do, they better have a concrete plan to replace him. I took a look at what happened to the Raiders after moving on from him. www.nola.com/sports/saint...

Don’t let #Saints TE Foster Moreau know this story is abiut him www.nola.com/sports/saint...

Ultimate Rizz: Saints' Darren Rizzi is staying true to himself in head coaching quest www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

Some good news for the Saints: www.nola.com/sports/saint...

Cam Jordan played 41.2% of the defense's snaps this season under Dennis Allen. Then, Darren Rizzi took over. Jordan has since played 56.2% of the snaps — and the defensive end is rewarding the Saints after the uptick in playing time. On a "re-energized" Jordan: www.nola.com/sports/saint...

I took a quick look at the Saints' current draft position, the chance they land in the top 10 and some of the recent players picked 10th: www.nola.com/sports/saint...

In Monday's sports, the Saints were *this* 🤏 close to a victory From @matthewparas.bsky.social: Saints nearly pull off a stunner, but fall short to Commanders after Spencer Rattler replaces Jake Haener bit.ly/3VC51S7 LSU overcomes first-half turnover issues, glides past UL bit.ly/3P0pZ9z

Derek Carr has done a really nice job avoiding negative plays this year, and that comes so much more into focus when you watch the other QBs try to play in his place. Carr: 8 sacks taken Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener: 19 sacks taken (2 today)

Woof. Payton Turner is penalized 15 yards for unnecessary roughness on a field goal attempt. Washington now has a new set of downs.

Before this game starts, I had a realization the other day: Derek Carr = Carson Wentz (polarizing) Spencer Rattler = Sam Howell (fifth-rounder once thought of as potential QB1 of their draft) Jake Haener = Taylor Heinicke ("moxie") It's not perfect, but time is a flat circle

Some pre-game reading: The Commanders were once a model of dysfunction. Now they're an example of how to turn a franchise around. www.nola.com/sports/saint...

Chase Young wishes he had more sacks. But he's fourth in the NFL in pressures. And he has some thoughts about the year he's having. “The fact I’m winning at a high rate, being disruptive is all I want to do.” www.nola.com/sports/saint...

I don't believe Luke Johnson is on Bluesky, so I'll plug his latest story on Darren Rizzi for him since it's just fantastic: www.nola.com/sports/saint...

Darren Rizzi said Erik McCoy is one of the few players on the roster who could go the week without practicing and still end up playing. He called him the "exception to the rule."

Erik McCoy will be questionable for Sunday's game. He'll go through a workout tomorrow and before the game. He worked off to the side today. Interim coach Darren Rizzi called McCoy a gametime decision.

Saints practice is over and I did not see Erik McCoy or Lucas Patrick.

“I don’t think I’ve responded to myself inside my head the best way." Alontae Taylor wants to become a star corner. But among the challenges facing him? "The only person that could stop Alontae from accomplishing what he wants to accomplish is Alontae.” www.nola.com/sports/saint...

The shovel The lunch pail The construction vest The hammer The level Darren Rizzi may look like "Bob the Builder" these days, but he's found an effective way to motivate the Saints. "It's taken on a life of its own," he said: www.nola.com/sports/saint...

How would you grade the Saints' rookie class? I had some thoughts: www.nola.com/sports/saint...

In Monday's sports, from @matthewparas.bsky.social: Taysom Hill comes up big for the #Saints in career day over Browns for second straight win www.nola.com/sports/saint... Jeff Duncan: The Rizzi gris-gris is real. After another win, doubt the Saints at your own risk. www.nola.com/sports/saint...

I asked Cesar Ruiz if he thought "Unwritten" could be an anthem of sorts for the Saints: "I don’t know what it’s about, but it’s hella good.” On a team getting its "swag back" and a player who was the epitome of that in Taysom Hill: www.nola.com/sports/saint...

“It’s great when you catch the ebb and flow of a game. You can see the rate of production increase, which is just crazy how that works.” Here’s why the Saints made a “conscious decision” to get Cam Jordan more involved after firing Dennis Allen: www.nola.com/sports/saint...

I wrote about the one player the Saints couldn’t afford to lose. On Erik McCoy, his pending return and how everything changed when he was injured: t.co/2IfQ2HI1nP
