So much for a quiet buildup to the Saints on Monday Night Football, because Davante Adams has entered the chat. The star WR wants a trade from the Raiders and New Orleans is a preferred destination. Should the Saints play ball? WWL’s Saints sideline reporter Jeff Nowak breaks it all down on the latest episode of the Audacy original podcast Inside Black & Gold. We also hear from Saints WRs coach Ke...

Have you heard the news? Davante Adams is unhappy with the Raiders and wants a trade, with the Saints as one of his preferred destinations because of his close familiarity with WRs coach Keith Williams and QB Derek Carr. OK, so he wants it, but should the Saints? Would a win-now trade for a 31-year-old WR make sense? Jeff breaks it all down in this trade-fueled segment of Inside Black & Gold.  To...

All this Davante Adams talk? Great timing, because we got Saints WRs coach Keith Williams on WWL Radio this week to break down his thoughts on the WR room, contested catches, the importance of blocking in this new Saints scheme and a lot more.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

We close out the show by diving into the live viewer mailbag and, not surprising, it’s a whole lot more about Davante Adams. How would the contract fit? What would this trade mean for players like Alvin Kamara and other veterans? Can the ghost of Al Davis help drive the price down? Let’s talk about it.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/pr...

In a word: Ugh. For a second consecutive week the Saints squandered an opportunity to win a game in the clutch, and this time it came at the hands of the hated Falcons. Need we say more? On the latest episode of the Audacy original podcast Inside Black & Gold, Saints sideline Jeff Nowak and WWL sports director Steve Geller unpack a tough day in Atlanta. We dive in on who stood out and who fell fla...

If you felt sick coming out of that game in Atlanta, you’re not alone. The Saints blew a prime opportunity to beat the Falcons and take control of the NFC South, and they did it in spectacular fashion. It was a game with one of the worst punt decisions you’ll ever see from an All-Pro returner, a pick-6, a pass rush that didn’t do its job and a DB who can’t seem to stop fouling in big moments. Oh,...

It was a disheartening loss to say the least, but the New Orleans Saints have some positives they can pull from a mistake- and injury-riddled day in Atlanta. The clutch offense showed up again, Alvin Kamara and Chris Olave continued to prove why they’re the guys, and while it wasn’t perfect, a shuffled OL and new center Shane Lemieiux proved they can do enough to win a game – now it’s time for the...

The New Orleans Saints went into this season with question marks around Alvin Kamara. Those have all been answered, it’s time to pay the man his money. We catch up on the latest master class from an injured AK, then reset the standings and the outlook for the Saints at the quarter pole (or as close as there actually is to one these days) after the first month of the 2024 season. To learn more abou...

Any NFL season is a battle of attrition, and nowhere will that be more apparent than in Week 4 between the Saints and Falcons. Whichever team handles absences the best probably walks away with the win, and that’s what we’re breaking down on the latest episode of the Audacy original podcast Inside Black & Gold. Saints sideline reporter Jeff Nowak and WWL sports director Steve Geller break down the...

Injuries could be the biggest factor on both sides of Saints-Falcons this week, but how will the Saints handle them? We break down the latest with Alvin Kamara, Demario Davis and Cesar Ruiz (*prior to Friday’s practice) and how the Saints could manage things. We also break down a bit on Cam Jordan’s reduced role and how he’s coping with the demotion, and also break down some of the underappreciate...

What’s the deal with the new-look Falcons? We’re joined by host and producer of Dirty Birds & Brews Kevin Knight to break down what the Saints should expect in Week 4 in Atlanta, how things are shaping up for the new-look offense with head coach Raheem Morris and Kirk Cousins, and whether Kirk is actually able to move at all (none of us thinks he can).  To learn more about listener data and our pr...

What will swing the matchup between the Saints and the Eagles in Week 4? It’ll likely come down to which team is better at sending pressure, and which team is better at surviving it behind a patchwork OL. Jeff and Steve close out today’s episode by breaking down the biggest X-factors with an assist from WWL’s Deuce McAllister and some insight from Derek Carr and Klint Kubiak. To learn more about l...

It doesn’t take long for the NFL season to become injury season, and that’s what the New Orleans Saints are dealing with this week, with several key players missing. So how will they handle that? On the latest episode of the Audacy original podcast Inside Black & Gold, Saints sideline reporter Jeff Nowak dives in on the Erik McCoy shuffle, what things could look like going forward on the OL and ot...

The New Orleans Saints’ Week 4 injury report is long and loaded with key names, so what comes next? Jeff Nowak kicks off today’s IB&G with the injury report breakdown, headlined by a player who isn’t actually on it. That’s because Erik McCoy has already been shifted to IR after surgery to repair a groin issue. How the Saints handle the shuffle there could make or break the season. Jeff dives in on...

The New Orleans Saints haven’t exactly had a prolific year from the tight ends so far, so what gives? We hear from Saint TEs coach Clancy Barone on that subject and what’s held back some of the production to this point. We also hear from Mickey Loomis on his 4th down philosophy, dive in on what I’ll call “spitgate” and more to close out the show. To learn more about listener data and our privacy p...

It wasn’t all bad in the Saints’ loss to the Eagles this week, and two major positives came in the form of Chris Olave and Carl Granderson, both of whom have taken over their position groups with great success – and both of whom gave the Saints a chance to win this game. So who else stood out? We’ll talk about big names like J.T. Gray, Tyrann Mathieu, bizarre comments from ex-Saint C.J. Gardner-Jo...

The New Orleans Saints fell back to Earth with a thud against a stout Eagles squad, but how much should this change our perception of what this year’s squad is capable of? Jeff & Steve close out the show by diving into the live viewer mailbag. We’ll talk more about Derek Carr, any changes that need to be made on a suddenly banged-up roster, whether an Erik McCoy’s absence is going to make offense...
