THE GUY: New Orleans Saints' Tyler Shough Poised For Huge Potential Against Detroit's Hurt Defense Sep 08, 2026

Show notes

Tyler Shough could be the New Orleans Saints’ biggest weapon against the Detroit Lions. His elite intermediate passing and accuracy between the numbers line up perfectly against a Lions secondary that allowed the most targets and receptions from 10 to 19 yards last season. With Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph sidelined, Chris Olave, Juwan Johnson, Noah Fant, and Devaughn Vele will look to exploit Detroit’s vulnerable secondary.

Detroit’s offense brings its own challenge under new offensive coordinator Drew Petzig, who has favored multi-tight-end formations and man/gap scheme runs. Amon-Ra St. Brown’s slot production could create a major test for Jonas Sanker, while the Saints prepare for a more physical rushing attack. New Orleans is also changing its identity, with more snaps under center, multiple tight ends, and increased outside-zone concepts built around Travis Etienne Jr.

IT'S HERE!: New Orleans Saints' Run-Defense Key Against Detroit, Jahmyr Gibbs In Week 1 Upset Chance Sep 07, 2026

Show notes

The New Orleans Saints’ revamped run defense faces an immediate stress test against the Detroit Lions and Baltimore Ravens. Detroit ranked fifth in outside-zone usage last season but averaged 6.08 yards per carry on man scheme runs, creating a critical matchup for Brandon Staley’s defense. Chase Young, Anfernee Jennings, Tyree Wilson, and the Saints’ deeper edge-rusher group must contain Jahmyr Gibbs ground attack and keep Detroit’s explosive passing game from taking over.

New Orleans also has intriguing offensive depth. Cedric Tillman brings size, speed, and experience with option routes to a wide receiver room featuring Chris Olave, Devaughn Vele, Bryce Lance, and Barion Brown, while Jordyn Tyson awaits his return from injured reserve. At tight end, Juwan Johnson and Noah Fant could make two-tight-end formations a major part of Kellen Moore’s offense, with Oscar Delp and Treyton Welch adding more possibilities.
