New Orleans faces a huge challenge against Dallas, but an equally formidable foe might be the one they see in the mirror.

By Bob Rose - Saints News Network | SI

The New Orleans Saints seek a 2-0 start to the year by winning a stiff road challenge against the Dallas Cowboys. If successful, it would actually be their second straight 2-0 start under often criticized head coach Dennis Allen.

New Orleans won this year's season opener with a 47-10 thrashing of the Carolina Panthers at home. They've won all three opening games under Allen and an NFL-best six straight season openers overall.

The Saints have gotten off to encouraging starts in recent years. However, they've been unable to sustain that momentum in the immediate subsequent weeks. Over the previous five years, they are a pathetic 1-4 in Week 2 games.

A 20-17 win at Carolina last year broke a four-year losing streak in Week 2 for the Saints. Even then, New Orleans played down to a vastly inferior team and didn't put the game away until late in the fourth quarter.

Weak Week 2 Performances

UNMOTIVATED


Over the previous five seasons, New Orleans has lost four times to vastly inferior opponents. Those opponents would go on to have a combined winning percentage of .386 in those particular seasons, with only one of those teams finishing that year with a winning record. Playing down to the competition indicates an unmotivated team. ...

Ahead of their game versus the Dallas Cowboys, the New Orleans Saints are elevating safety Ugo Amadi and linebacker Isaiah Stalbird from the practice squad.

Each week teams are allowed to bring a maximum of two players from the practice squad to the main roster each week. After three elevations, a player has to be signed to the main roster to appear again.

That’s not an imminent future at the moment. It’s only Week 2, and this is the first time either team has been elevated to the active roster this season..

For Stalbird, this will be his first career game. The Saints picked up the...

The New Orleans Saints have to deal with one of the NFL’s premier pass rushers, Dallas Cowboys star Micah Parsons, this week.

Parsons had 13 sacks as a rookie and has added an extra half sack to his season total the following two years. He’s finished top-three in the Defensive Player of the Year each season as well.

With Taliese Fuaga’s back injury, slowing down Parsons may come down to Landon Young and Trevor Penning.

It’s difficult to say something about Parsons that hasn’t already been said, so Young kept it simple. He says Parsons “has all the attributes as what you want as a pass...

Jon Gruden has been out of the NFL for a few years now after being fired by the Las Vegas Raiders in the wake of a scandal centering on his extensive use of hateful language, and he’s keeping busy these days by talking shop with current and former players when the New Orleans Saints aren’t inviting him to observe practice and sitting down with him for team meals in Tampa.

Gruden still has a lot of connections and fans around the league. His old quarterback Derek Carr is one of them. Another Saints quarterback, Drew Brees, is another. Brees joined Gruden on his YouTube channel to discuss a...

After a strong open to the season, New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr has risen up the NFL QB rankings. NFL.com’s Around the NFL writer Nick Shook writes a weekly quarterback rankings and was impressed with the performance Carr put on versus the Carolina Panthers.

After opening the year at No. 20, Carr is now ranked at No. 17. While no one is saying Carr is in the upper echelon of the league, that small rise is the difference from being in the average class to below. Carr’s 200 yards don’t jump off the screen. He was efficient and paired his yardage with 3 passing touchdowns...

Sunday’s game between the New Orleans Saints and Dallas Cowboys has a couple of marquee matchups, but Cowboys cornerback Trevon Diggs isn’t sweating the task of guarding Saints wideout Chris Olave. Diggs responded with indifference when asked what challenges Olave presents as New Orleans’ No. 1 wide receiver.

“Is that a trick question?” Diggs replied. When pressed, he responded, “He’s a good player.”

Fans looking for disrespect are going to find it in a statement like that, though you could just as easily read Diggs’ comments as quiet confidence. He’s earned that swagger after...
