Dec. 13: Jake Haener vs. Jayden Daniels. What could go wrong?

The New Orleans Saints visit the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field for Monday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers. That would be tough for any team in December. But this is a Saints team with Spencer Rattler and a bunch of backups on offense with not much left to play for against a Packers team that can clinch a playoff spot. Add it all up, and the Saints are underdogs of a historic level. How can they compete? We break it down on this episode of Saints Insider, along with comments on Chris Olave's return to practice and Clyde Edwards-Helaire's return to Louisiana. #saints #whodat #saintsnation #packers #gopackgo #nfl #nflweek16 #mnf

With Derek Carr likely out for the rest of the season with his broken hand, the New Orleans Saints likely will turn to Spencer Rattler to start the final three games. What does that audition mean for Rattler's future? Is Jake Haener done in New Orleans? And what does Carr's injury mean for next year and beyond? Our Saints Insider crew of Times-Picayune beat writers Luke Johnson and Matthew Paras and columnists Rod Walker and Jeff Duncan break down the revolving door at quarterback and how the franchise can move forward. #saints #whodat #nfl #nflweek16 #packers #gopackgo

The New Orleans Saints will take on the Washington Commanders on Sunday at the Superdome in a game that doesn't lack for storylines. • It's Jake Haener's debut as a starting quarterback • It's Jayden Daniels' return to Louisiana after winning the Heisman at LSU • It's Marshon Lattimore's return to the Saints • It's a revenge game for Saints defensive lineman Chase Young • And Darren Rizzi (3-1 as interim coach) continues to try to make his case for the permanent job. How will things go? And what's most important in deciding this one? Our Saints Insider crew of Matthew Paras, Luke Johnson, Jeff Duncan and Zach Ewing breaks it down. #saints #whodat #saintsnation #nfl #nflweek15 #commanders #httc

The New Orleans Saints are playing it coy with their decision on a starting quarterback. They haven't officially ruled out starter Derek Carr, who left Sunday's win over the Giants with a broken hand and concussion. Could Carr actually play this week against Washington? If he doesn't, what are the cases for his backups, Jake Haener and Spencer Rattler? Our Saints Insider crew breaks down the situation, makes their prediction on who will play — and also offers thoughts on Bill Belichick's agreement to become the coach at North Carolina and what it could mean for the Saints' search. #saints #whodat #saintsnation #commanders #nfl #nflweek15

The New Orleans Saints face the New York Giants on Sunday, and while they're technically still alive in the chase for the NFL playoffs, it's getting to the point in the season where focus goes to individual performances and looking toward the future. To that end, we have an offensive player who may be in line for a big game against the Giants. Also in this preview episode: • Could Cam Jordan finally win NFL Man of the Year? • Drew Lock's strengths and weaknesses • Why this game might go by quickly • The impact of cold weather • Keys to the game • Predictions #saints #whodat #saintsnation #nfl #nflweek14 #giants

With college football wrapped up in National Signing Day, the latest episode of Saints Insider takes a look at the six New Orleans Saints players who were five-star recruits coming out of high school. Can you guess the six along with our experts? After that, we go through those six one by one and see whether they've met expectations — or whether the jury is still out. Also on this episode: • Moves we expect the Saints to make this week • Taysom Hill reflection • The Saints who were the LEAST heralded coming out of high school #saints #whodat #saintsnation #nfl #collegefootball #signingday

If the New Orleans Saints can beat the Los Angeles Rams this Sunday, they would be back in the thick of the NFC playoff picture, and interim coach Darren Rizzi would take a step toward consideration for permanent status. If they lose, December is going to be almost meaningless in the standings — and possibly for Rizzi, too. So can they take advantage? They'll have to stop a potent Rams attack and take advantage of a potentially leaky defense. Our Saints Insider crew breaks down the game and offers predictions. #saints #whodat #saintsnation #rams #ramshouse #nfl #nflweek13

New Orleans Saints interim coach Darren Rizzi is off to a flying start, winning his first two games. Is this just a two-game blip, or can he sustain momentum through the end of the season? And more pertinently, is he a candidate for the Saints' full-time job? Our Saints Insiders — Times-Picayune beat writers Matthew Paras and Luke Johnson, columnist Jeff Duncan and editor Zach Ewing — put on the Rizz in this episode, with a singing performance from Luke included. Also discussed in this episode: • Will we see this version of Taysom Hill again? • Without his top receivers, Derek Carr is spreading the love • Concern levels over Erik McCoy's re-injury #saints #whodat #saintsnation #whodatnation #nfl #nflweek12 #nflcoaches

On the surface, it might seem like an NFL Week 11 game between two bad teams. But there are plenty of intriguing reasons to watch the 3-7 New Orleans Saints take on the 2-7 Cleveland Browns. Our Saints Insider crew — Times-Picayune beat writers Luke Johnson and Matthew Paras and columnists Jeff Duncan and Rod Walker — breaks it all down in this preview episode, including: * Whether Darren Rizzi can prove it wasn't just an interim bump * How the Dome might react to a team that won again * The impact of Erik McCoy's return * Oh yeah, Jameis Winston is here *  Keys to the game and predictions — can Jeff Duncan snap his NINE-GAME losing streak? #saints #whodat #browns #nfl #nflweek11 #jameiswinston
