    Can the 2026 Saints Be the Next 2025 Patriots? Kellen Moore COY Buzz & Camp Storylines

    Mario and Erin open by looking at ESPN's annual survey of NFL executives, coaches and scouts, where both Alvin Kamara and Travis Etienne Jr. received votes among the league's top running backs but neither cracked the Top 10. Is Etienne being overlooked entering his first season in New Orleans? And what should Saints fans realistically expect from a backfield featuring Etienne and Kamara? That conversation leads into a debate about Kamara after Bleacher Report labeled him the NFL's most overpaid running back for 2026. Fair criticism or disrespect? The show also highlights some national recognition for the Saints defense, including Kool-Aid McKinstry receiving votes in ESPN's cornerback rankings. Is a breakout season on the horizon for the young corner? Then it's time to talk odds. FanDuel currently lists Kellen Moore among the favorites for NFL Coach of the Year, despite New Orleans entering the season with relatively modest expectations. What would have to happen for Moore to cash that ticket, and what does it say about how people around the league view the Saints' potential? Finally, Mario and Erin have some fun with a comparison that might sound crazy at first: could the 2026 Saints become this year's version of the 2025 Patriots? New England entered last season as a long shot before dramatically outperforming expectations, and with the Saints sitting at +3500 to win the NFC, is there a path for New Orleans to become one of the NFL's biggest surprise teams? Plus, Justin Reid explains why Cam Jordan's return is "huge for the culture" of the organization, why Jordan's leadership remains invaluable, and which young defensive linemen need to emerge if the Saints are going to exceed expectations this season.
