    One reason these Saints are different than the past 5 years

    The New Orleans Saints had a couple of coaches receive interviews for jobs on the Pittsburgh Steelers staff, but none left. That gives the Saints a level of continuity they haven't had in years. Is it a sign of good things to come in 2026? Our Saints Insiders discuss. Also on this episode: • What we learned from the Senior Bowl • Klint Kubiak to Las Vegas/which new coach intrigues us most • Lack of diversity in NFL head coaches/what can or should be done • 18-game schedule. Is it still happening? • International games. What's next and how to make it more fair. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #superbowl #superbowllx #nflfreeagency #nfldraft

    Super Bowl week with the Saints: Vive le France, Drew Brees and Tyler Shough

    The New Orleans Saints aren't playing in Super Bowl LX, but they'll have quite a presence next week in San Francisco anyway. First, the team could get news that it's playing a game in Paris next season. Then, quarterback Tyler Shough makes the media rounds on Radio Row and is up for NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year. And finally, Saints legend Drew Brees finds out if he's a first-ballot Hall of Famer. Our Saints Insiders break down that and more of what they'll be watching during Super Bowl week.  #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #superbowl #superbowllx #superbowlweek #nflawards #halloffame #drewbrees

    Setting up the Saints' offseason: The Demario Davis question, and following the Patriots model

    The New Orleans Saints have plenty of holes to fill even after an optimistic finish to the 2025 season. With the Super Bowl matchup set up between the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots, our Saints Insider crew discusses how the Patriots in particular — a last-place team that found its quarterback the year before — provide a model the Saints could attempt to emulate. We also discuss the Saints' free agents, leading with Demario Davis and his comments about testing his market around the NFL, and what they should prioritize as they attempt to build around Tyler Shough. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #superbowl #superbowllx #patriots #nflfreeagency #nfldraft

    The missing chunk plays: How the Saints stalled in 2025, and what comes next

    Even with an optimistic finish to the 2025 season, the New Orleans Saints lagged well behind the NFL in one specific category: Explosive plays, which are defined as pass plays of 16-plus yards or run plays of 12-plus yards. The issue improved with Tyler Shough at quarterback, but it feels like there's still plenty of room to grow. Our Saints Insiders examine what caused the issue, why Shough improved it and some possible answers from this offseason in a wide-ranging discussion. Plus, we offer thoughts on the Atlanta Falcons hiring Kevin Stefanski and the NFC and AFC championship games this weekend. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nfloffseason #nflplayoffs #nflquarterbacks

    Just how good was the Saints' rookie class? Best in the NFL?

    The Saints Insiders are back with a look at the New Orleans Saints' 2025 draft class, which produced a potential franchise quarterback in Tyler Shough, a left tackle of the future in Kelvin Banks and several possible defensive starters. ESPN ranked the Saints' rookies as the NFL's most productive. Just how good are they, and could they get better? We answer those questions, go through the class and also give our thoughts on the NFL divisional playoffs in this episode. #saints #neworleanssaints #whodat #whodatnation #nfl #nflplayoffs #nfloffseason #nfldraft #nflrookies

    Did the Saints get it right with Kellen Moore? One year later

    With the NFL coaching carousel in full spin — nine openings, big names like John Harbaugh and Mike Tomlin — this episode of Saints Insider looks back at a year ago, when the New Orleans Saints were in that position. They wound up with Kellen Moore. Where does that rank among 2025 hires, which resulted in everything from strong Super Bowl contenders to the No. 1 pick in the draft? What did Moore do well, and what needs to be improved? And ultimately, does it look like the Saints got this right, one year later? #saints #neworleanssaints #nfl #nflcoaching #coachingcarousel #nflplayoffs #whodat #whodatnation
