NewOrleans.Football: Saints Podcast

The NFC South just got a little bit tougher. Against all odds, Tampa Bay has become a destination for NFL players. After adding Tom Brady earlier this offseason, the Bucs have now landed tight end Rob Gronkowski. So, how will New Orleans defend all the weapons Tampa now has? Does this shift the balance of power in the NFC South at all? Can Gronkowski still play? We discuss all of these topics. We...

Welcome back. On this week's episode of Saints Talk, we spend a good time debating the merits and minuses of LSU linebacker Patrick Queen and Oklahoma's Kenneth Murray. Our takes on the two players are somewhat different. We then discuss some of the things Jordan Love does well, Taysom Hill's future (again) and what Drew Brees' deal with NBC could mean for his career. If you listen to the podcast,...

How great was Monday night? The way the Saints made the rebroadcast of the Rebirth game a legitimate event was really cool to see, especially during these times. Their public relations staff and social media teams really put on a clinic. I think we all needed that. Hopefully we see live football sooner than later. We open this week's podcast talking about that game, then get into conversations abo...

The Saints are going to need Sheldon Rankins to show up ready and healthy to play. Sheldon Rankins is going need to show up ready and healthy to play to make the most of his contract year. Nick and Kevin discuss what it will take for the defensive tackle to get ready to play, what he needs to overcome, and what the reasonable expectations should be for his season. We also revisit the Andrus Peat c...

The first wave of free agency is in the books. New Orleans made a big splash by bringing in Emmanuel Sanders, and we discuss all of the things that make him a perfect fit in the Saints' offense. We then shift gears and explain why bringing back Andrus Peat might not be the craziest idea -- and why it could still go wrong. We then close up by discussing Janoris Jenkins' fit in the secondary what ma...

Free agency is here. Almost. With the market set to open in less than a week, we discuss some of the guys who could be fits for the Saints and where it would make the most sense to spend money. And since we seem to be obligated to include him in every podcast, we also discuss the latest with Taysom Hill and what his tender could mean for his future. If you like the podcast, please consider support...

Nick and Kevin are back with another episode. The two start by discussing whether or not the Saints should draft a quarterback, and wonder if Taysom Hill's preseason is the most anticipated preseason ever. It definitely might be in New Orleans. The conversation then shifts to Marcus Davenport and how people should view his last two years of production (22:39). After that, they explore which free a...

A recent poll on the NewOrleans. Football Twitter account showed that Saints fans currently view cornerback as the biggest defensive need on the roster. Is this right? Or should linebacker be considered a bigger need? What about pass rusher or safety? What about on offense, is guard or wide receiver a more important need? Kevin Washington and Nick Underhill also discuss the best place to use Chaun...

Drew Brees is coming back for at least one more ride. With quarterback solved, assuming Brees signs, we discuss the areas where the offense needs to get better (2:23). Then we discuss whether or not the quarterback can regain his form and throw the ball down the field just enough to make defenses respect the possibility (6:43). Going further down the list, if Teddy Bridgewater (11:35) now leaves,...
