Michael Thomas didn’t want to tell. He never does. He likes to keep the details to himself, whether it’s the benefits of doing hand yoga or what his offseason program entails. Someone might be listening – no, someone is listening – and he doesn’t want to give anyone his blueprint. So, last month, when asked […]
Most of the Saints’ game-planning sessions have started with the same question for the better part of the last three years. Where is Marshon Lattimore lining up? The question is — or was — necessary. Until recently, Lattimore was far and away the best cornerback on the team, the lone player capable of covering anyone […]
A tweet recently spread asking people to rate players on various teams by tiers ranging from elite to good. Considering the Saints have such a talented roster, going though this exercise is not easy. The natural inclination is to put a bunch of guys at the top, which would be justifiable, but I decided to […]
Adam Trautman is one of the more intriguing additions to the offense. The tight end will open up some aspects of the offense that were shelved last season, but much depends on how quickly he gets up to speed and how his abilities translate to the NFL after playing his college ball at Dayton. On […]
The Saints drafted two of the best center prospects to enter the NFL over the last two seasons.

Alvin Kamara has provided glimmers over the last two seasons. The specialness, the uniqueness, has shown up in flashes. You see it and remember what Kamara looked like as a rookie. Still, the memory has become so stretched that you might not even have realized that the guy who dominated against Houston and Seattle last […]
The Saints are getting ready to unleash a nightmare on the league. No, seriously. That’s their choice of words, not ours, but it’s not crazy. While it took Jared Cook some time to get going, if you kept paying attention, then you already know the Saints tight end was causing sleepless nights for defensive coordinators […]
This week’s podcast is centered on a discussion of the best and worst free-agent signings and draft picks of the Sean Payton era. We start out touching on the recent situation involving Drew Brees, and how the team’s leadership has shown up this week, but the conversation is short and we quickly move onto other […]
The concept of set positions is becoming outdated. At least a little bit. More than ever, teams need a handful of players who can move around and do multiple things. Having a bunch of players who are affixed to one area of the field and never move is quickly becoming a hindrance, and Saints secondary […]
