The problem is that talent is being undermined by mistakes and a lack of communication. So, how do the Saints fix this?  Can they bounce back? We explore these topics and more on this week's episode of "Saints Talk." If you like the podcast, please consider subscribing to...

Have the Saints put together their most talented roster in team history? Time will tell if everything comes together and the 2020 team matches it potential.
