Amy Williams+FollowCould Bitonio Be the Key for Shough's Saints?Who else is hyped about the Saints possibly landing All-Pro guard Joel Bitonio to protect rookie QB Tyler Shough? The O-line has been shaky, and bringing in a vet like Bitonio—who’s still a beast despite his age—could be a game-changer. If he suits up in black and gold, Shough’s development could really take off. Thoughts on Bitonio leaving Cleveland for NOLA? #Sports #Football #Saints00Share
phughes+FollowMike McDaniel to Bucs? Saints Fans Sound OffWhoa, Fins just fired Mike McDaniel out of nowhere! Now there’s real buzz he could land as the Bucs’ new OC—and that’s got Who Dat Nation sweating. McDaniel’s offensive mind with Baker, Evans, and Godwin? Yikes. Saints fans, how worried are you about this potential NFC South shakeup? Personally, I hope he ends up anywhere but Tampa! #Sports #Football #Saints00Share
glen25+FollowSaints face major setbacks for Falcons finaleLosing Alvin Kamara, Chris Olave, and key defenders for the season finale is a tough blow for the Saints, especially with playoff hopes on the line. With Olave and Kamara both out, rookie QB Tyler Shough will have to rely on a patchwork group of receivers and a young running back to keep the offense moving. Meanwhile, the defensive line is missing its anchors just as Atlanta’s Bijan Robinson is heating up. Can the Saints’ next men up keep the win streak alive, or will these injuries be too much to overcome? What’s your take on how this shakes up the matchup? #Sports #Football #Saints41Share
Aaron Taylor+FollowSaints must lean on Estime vs FalconsAudric Estime’s explosive second half last week—racking up 88 yards and a 32-yard touchdown—was the spark the Saints offense desperately needed. With the team’s top five receivers out and the running back room depleted, it’s clear the Saints have to ride the hot hand. Estime barely touched the ball in the first half, but his impact was undeniable once he got going. Against the Falcons, who struggle to stop the run but excel at sacking QBs, pounding the rock early with Estime could be the difference. What do you think: should the Saints make Estime the centerpiece this week? #Sports #Football #Saints00Share
John Camacho+FollowSaints rookies shine bright in tough seasonDespite a rocky year for the New Orleans Saints, four rookies have stolen the spotlight by making ESPN’s All-Rookie Team. Tyler Shough, who’s already in the Rookie of the Year conversation, leads the pack, proving that the team’s draft “risks” paid off. Alongside him, Quincy Riley, Kelvin Banks Jr., and Jonas Sanker have all stepped up in big ways. Banks has anchored the left tackle spot like a seasoned pro, while Riley’s aggressive play at cornerback hints at a promising future. It’s clear the Saints’ youth movement is something to watch—what do you think these rookies mean for the team’s future? #Sports #Football #Saints00Share
Patty Mills+FollowSaints RB room is running on fumesNew Orleans is digging deep at running back. Per Adam Schefter, with Devin Neal out this week and Alvin Kamara dealing with ankle/knee injuries, the Saints are signing veteran RB Nyheim Hines to the practice squad. What makes this notable is who Hines is right now: he’s still working his way back from the 2023 jet ski accident that caused major knee damage and essentially wiped out his last couple seasons. If Kamara can’t go, or can’t handle a full workload, this is a “break glass in case of emergency” move—with the added upside that Hines can give you juice as a pass-catcher/space player if he’s anywhere close to himself. #Saints #NFL #AlvinKamara #NyheimHines #NFLNews #RunningBack #Week1630Share
Steve Francis+FollowFrom 5–1 to 7–7: Bucs staring at a three-week divisional sweep by their rivalsTampa Bay opened this season 5–1. They’ve since fallen to 7–7 after back-to-back divisional losses (Saints, then Falcons). If they drop next week to the Panthers, the Bucs will have lost to all three NFC South opponents in three straight weeks during this slide. From frontrunners to fighting for air in the span of a month. #NFL #Buccaneers #NFCSouth #Saints #Falcons #Panthers #PlayoffPush #TrendWatch20Share
