Dattitude with Jim Derry

Erik McCoy. Julian Blackmon. Alvin Kamara. Chase Young. Now, Jordyn Tyson. There are more, but is there a specific member of the New Orleans #Saints 'injury-prone' list they can't do without? That's the lead topic with NOLA.com Saints editor Zach Ewing on Thursday's Dattitude (Ep. 521) presented by Evangeline Securities.

RT Taliese Fuaga, S Julian Blackmon and rookie WR Jordyn Tyson headline Part 2 of our 5-week series announcing our 15 Most Important #Saints in 2026. What do you think of this group, and what order would you put them in? Time to talk on another Mano E Monday edition of Dattitude (Ep. 520) presented by Evangeline Securities.

It might seem like an easy question to some, but let's dive into what the numbers say and figure out who we think is the best quarterback in the NFC South. #Saints Tyler Shough? Bryce Young? Baker Mayfield? Michael Penix? We ask the newly crowned 'Sportscaster of the Year,' Fletcher Mackel of WDSU-TV on Thursday's Dattitude (Ep. 519) presented by Evangeline Securities.

We begin our 5-week series announcing our '15 Most Important Saints in 2026,' and we begin with EDGE Carl Granderson, TE Juwan Johnson and CB Kool-Aid McKinstry. Did we get it right? What order would you put them in? Let's talk about it on another Mano E Monday edition of Dattitude (Ep. 518) presented by Evangeline Securities.

It's one month until the New Orleans #Saints report for camp, so what are our top questions? Will Tyler Shough progress in Year 2? Will Alvin Kamara be here? How do the rookies look so far? We're back! We have plenty to say on Friday's Dattitude (Ep. 517) presented by Evangeline Securities, including a major announcement that will affect the future of the show.

In our last show before vacation, let's make some way-too-early #Saints predictions for win totals, Tyler Shough, Chris Olave, Jordyn Tyson and Travis Etienne. NOLA.com's Zach, Gabe and UBN will be here for Friday's Dattitude (Ep. 516) presented by Evangeline Securities. And Jim wants to know why a certain Saint blocked him.

We all know Chris Olave and Juwan Johnson will be the top receiving options for the #Saints and Tyler Shough. But who's behind that? DeVaughn Vele? Ja'Lynn Polk? Oscar Delp? Let's ask local radio icon Eric Asher on Wednesday's edition of Dattitude (Ep. 515) presented by Evangeline Securities.

It seems like all the talk for #Saints fans at running back the past month or so is whether Alvin Kamara will be here. Do we forget about lead back Travis Etienne? What can he do for this team in his first year? We asked the Dat Fam on a Mano E Monday Dattitude (Ep. 514) presented by Evangeline Securities.

It sounds simple. Alvin Kamara is older, and with Travis Etienne in the fold, just give him fewer reps, and he'll be his former, younger self. Will it work? Is it really that easy? What's best for the #Saints? Let's ask NOLA.com's Zach Ewing on Friday's Dattitude (Ep. 513) presented by Evangeline Securities.

Saints getting younger and faster, as Alvin Kamara shows up at OTAs. Lester Ricard on Ep. 512 by Jim Derry

As wide receiver Chris Olave and the New Orleans #Saints work on a longtime extension, he could be a partner for Tyler Shough for quite some time. That could be great news for Who Dats, and that's the lead topic on Mano E Monday's Dattitude (Ep. 511) presented by Evangeline Securities.

The New Orleans #Saints have wrapped up their first week of OTAs, so what are the storylines thus far? How does Tyler Shough look? No. 1 pick Jordyn Tyson? NOLA.com's Zach Ewing is here for his usual Friday segment on Dattitude (Ep. 510) presented by Evangeline Securities.

Derek Carr has been gone from the New Orleans #Saints for more than a year, and he's finally opening up about what he would have done differently. We'll talk about that on the Wednesday edition of Dattitude (Ep. 509) presented by Evangeline Securities with Jim's old friend and Saints historian Jim Rapier. We'll also chat with Newman Greenies ace Christian Sauska about a very improbable run to a st...

The New Orleans #Saints clearly have a strategy to get younger, and they're very unapologetic about it. Is it going to be tough for fans to let go of all-time greats such as Alvin Kamara, Cam Jordan and Taysom Hill? It's Friday, so NOLA.com's Zach Ewing is here for Dattitude (Ep. 508) presented by Evangeline Securities. We'll also talk about Coach O's return to the LSU Tigers.

The New Orleans Pelicans hired a new coach, so the question is: Who is Jamahl Mosley? What can he bring to the team? Also, has Taysom Hill played his final down for the New Orleans #Saints ... maybe the #NFL? David Grubb is here for Wednesday's Dattitude (Ep. 507) presented by Evangeline Securities.

The New Orleans Saints have just one primetime game in 2026, although the other 3 teams in the weak NFC South each have 3. What's up with that? And what's the story of the Saints-Falcons MNF game this year? Let's discuss it on Monday's Dattitude (Ep. 506) presented by Evangeline Securities. We also talk to the Saints International Fan of the Year, John Silva, and local baseball coach Todd Buster,...

The New Orleans #Saints schedule is out for the 2026 NFL season, and while it starts really tough, there also are some breaks in there, as well. Let’s break it down with Zach Ewing of NOLA.com on Friday’s Dattitude (Ep. 505) presented by Evangeline Securities, as we also take comments and questions from the audience.

The New Orleans Saints will officially find out all the whos, whens and wheres of their 2026 #NFL schedule on Thursday, including a game in Paris against the Pittsburgh Steelers. We talk about the best-case and worst-case scenarios with Devin 'Hold the Mayo' Snow on a special Dattitude (Ep. 504) presented by Evangeline Securities. (Who’s more 504 than Devin?)

The New Orleans #Saints and the rest of the #NFL are right in between the end of the 2025 season and the beginning of the 2026 campaign and release of the schedule this week, it's time to focusing solely on the future. What's the ceiling for the Saints in 2026? That's the hot topic on Monday's Dattitude (Ep. 503) presented by Evangeline Securities, as it's just us and the Dat Family today.

We'll get our first look at the newest #Saints, as Jordyn Tyson, Christen Miller and the rest of the rookie class steps onto the practice field in Metairie for the first time. Will there be any surprises? What should we expect? We'll talk to our Friday friend, Zach Ewing of NOLA.com on Dattitude (Ep. 502) presented by Evangeline Securities, as we hear comments and questions from the audience.

For the first time in quite some time, New Orleans #Saints all-time running back Alvin Kamara spoke publicly. Did he say anything about his own future with the Black and Gold, and did his former teammate, Tyrann Mathieu, shed some light on the situation? That's the lead topic on Wednesday's Dattitude (Ep. 501) presented by Evangeline Securities.

It's a special episode, so today's Saints talk will be more than what the Black and Gold has done in the #NFL Draft and in free agency. Ex-ESPN anchor and New Orleanian Stan Verrett - along with football analyst extraordinaire Mike Detillier - are here on Friday's Dattitude (Ep. 500) presented by Evangeline Securities. We also hear from the Dat Regulars in the audience, along with Zach Ewing, Gabe...

Under the radar, the New Orleans #Saints may have changed the landscape on their defense a bit by bringing in Tyree Wilson, Martin Emerson and Anfernee Jennings. Let's ask Times-Picayune sports columnist Jeff Duncan on Wednesday's Dattitude (Ep. 499) presented by Evangeline Securities. We'll also get Jeff's thoughts on the Saints' draft and ask for his Kentucky Derby picks.

From the opening pick - and not moving up from No. 8 - the plan for the New Orleans #Saints was clear and obvious. Take Arizona State WR Jordyn Tyson and continue to build the offense from there. Did they make the right moves, and what are our early grades? NOLA.com Saints editor Zach Ewing joins us on Monday's Dattitude (Ep. 498) presented by Evangeline Securities, and we hear plenty from the Dat...

We've talked about the possibilities and the favorites for the New Orleans #Saints in the 2026 NFL Draft. Now, let's talk dream scenario, and that would be to nab Jeremiyah Love - either through a trade or stroke of luck. NOLA.com Saints editor Zach Ewing is here on Wednesday's Dattitude (Ep. 497) presented by Evangeline Securities, and we talk about our upcoming live draft show Thursday night.
