What was good, bad and surprising from Saints' opening thriller

After coming up a point short in overtime of their season opener against the Detroit Lions, the New Orleans Saints hit the road again, this time for a Week 2 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens. How can the Saints contain Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry? What about the slow starts on offense? And what are the hidden keys to the game?  We'll discuss all that along with some injury updates and predictions as we get you set for Saints-Ravens on Sunday.  #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #ravens #baltimoreravens #ravensflock #nfl #nflweek2 #tylershough #lamarjackson

There was a lot to dissect from the New Orleans Saints' season-opening 31-30 overtime loss to the Detroit Lions, and so the Saints Insiders had a mission for this episode: Re-watch the game and come up with their takeaways, positive and negative and everything in between, from the Saints' performance. We'll use that to look ahead to the Saints' game at the Baltimore Ravens this weekend and how our season-long expectations have changed. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nflweek1 #nflweek2 #ravens #baltimoreravens #tylershough

The New Orleans Saints finally open their 2026 season on Sunday against the Lions in Detroit, kicking off a campaign that has fans excited but also still presents some serious question marks. Detroit will test those pressure points with its bevy of offensive weapons, including Jahmyr Gibbs, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. How will the Saints defense respond? And what can the offense do against a beat-up Lions secondary in terms of keeping up? We'll answer those questions, give our keys to the game and make our Saints-Lions predictions on this episode. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #lions #detroitlions #onepride #nfl #nflweek1 #nflpicks

The New Orleans Saints open their 2026 season next week, but before they do, we're taking a minute for one of our favorite shows of the year: It's bold prediction time. Our Saints Insiders come up with takes that are (a) possible, but most importantly, (b) outlandish. Mentioned specifically: Tyler Shough, Kellen Moore, Travis Etienne, Chase Young, Barion Brown, Bryce Lance, Jordyn Tyson, Spencer Rattler and more.  #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nfl2026 #nflpicks #nflpredictions

The New Orleans Saints have their initial 53-man roster for the 2026 season after making a number of cuts and other moves Sunday. Jordyn Tyson and Jaylan Ford are on IR with designation to return. Devin Neal and Michael Heldman are on season-ending IR. Both backup quarterbacks are on the roster. Two kickers — Daniel Carlson and Tanner Brown — are both on the roster, too.

Various sports at LSU, most notably Lane Kiffin and the football team, are trying to bring back players who have participated in professional drafts or camps as a loophole in the NCAA's 5-in-5 rule. Conference offices, including the SEC, have published rules saying that they would punish any school that attempts to enroll these players. So what happens now? Will Dae'Quan Wright and Zxavian Harris be eligible to play? We examine the issue, including firsthand comments from Wright, and try to bring nuance to a situation that changes hourly with new lawsuits, statements and fresh controversy. #lsu #lsutigers #lsufootball #secfootball #lanekiffin #ncaafootball #collegefootball

The Saints Insiders have lots to talk about in this week's episode, starting with how much stock they're putting in the New Orleans Saints laying an egg against the Los Angeles Rams in Saturday's second preseason game. It was only backups, but shouldn't the backups be a little better? Also, we delve into the rash of injuries the Saints have battled and the outlook at various positions and begin to look ahead to the weekend, which will feature the team's final preseason game in Dallas and roster cuts to the initial list of 53 players Sunday.  #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nflpreseason

The New Orleans Saints shared a practice field with the Super Bowl favorite Los Angeles Rams on Thursday in Southern California, and while it wasn't as dramatic as the fight-filled practice with the Dallas Cowboys earlier in the week, it was perhaps more telling. How did the Saints fare on both sides of the ball against the high-profile Rams? Which players sat out for each team? And what about all those injuries?  Our Saints Insiders answer those questions and look ahead to storylines to watch in Saturday's Saints-Rams preseason game.  #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nfltrainingcamp #nflpreseason #rams #larams #ramshouse
