The biggest areas of intrigue for the 2020 season May 06, 2020

Show notes

This week's podcast turned into a wide-ranging conversation that touched on a bunch of different topics.

We start out by discussing Tre'Quan Smith's fit in the offense and if there could be other internal candidates for the third-receiver role. We then project our defensive starters in various personnel packages, touch on Adam Trautman's fit in the offense and if he can be an "impact player" his rookie season, and provide our top storylines for the season.

There is a lot to take in while listening to this one, but it should help burn some time until the schedule drops on Thursday.

Exploring what Rob Gronkowski brings to the NFC South and breaking down Jordan Love's tape Apr 22, 2020

Show notes

The NFC South just got a little bit tougher.

Against all odds, Tampa Bay has become a destination for NFL players. After adding Tom Brady earlier this offseason, the Bucs have now landed tight end Rob Gronkowski.

So, how will New Orleans defend all the weapons Tampa now has? Does this shift the balance of power in the NFC South at all? Can Gronkowski still play? We discuss all of these topics.

We then spend the next 30 minutes breaking down Jordan Love's tape and exploring his possible fit in the Saints' offense.

Podcast: Revisiting Rebirth, the P.J. Williams signing, virtual drafts and more Apr 08, 2020

Show notes

How great was Monday night?

The way the Saints made the rebroadcast of the Rebirth game a legitimate event was really cool to see, especially during these times. Their public relations staff and social media teams really put on a clinic. I think we all needed that. Hopefully we see live football sooner than later.

We open this week's podcast talking about that game, then get into conversations about P.J. Williams, the team's biggest needs, how to handle the difficulties of conducting a virtual draft, and we end with Kevin talking about how he ate "bone chicken" this week.

New Orleans made a big splash by bringing in Emmanuel Sanders, and we discuss all of the things that make him a perfect fit in the Saints' offense.

We then shift gears and explain why bringing back Andrus Peat might not be the craziest idea -- and why it could still go wrong.
