To help translate the new responsibilities along the defensive front, the team added not only defensive line coach Bo Davis (a home run hire) but also an EDGEs coach in Jay Rodgers.

During rookie minicamp media availability, we spoke with the coach about the team’s adjusted strategy.

Rodgers, who worked with Staley as a member of the Los Angeles Chargers coaching staff, is bringing a fresh and new look to the Saints’ defensive coaching structure.

While Davis focuses on the players lining up inside or over the opposing offensive tackles, Rodgers is focused on the pass rushers that line up outside the tackles and look to win with speed and athleticism.

The New Orleans Saints are set to come marching into Buffalo, N.Y., in a week four matchup against the Bills. On paper, this could be their toughest matchup of the early season.

The Buffalo Bills made the AFC championship game last season and has the reigning MVP in quarterback Josh Allen. They have also made numerous offseason additions to the defense, including a draft that saw 6/9 picks on that side of the ball and the big signing of pro-bowler Joey Bosa.

One positive is that the Saints won’t be visiting Buffalo in the dead of winter, just late September. That should put the...

Darnold had a breakout season with the Minnesota Vikings in 2024, throwing for 4,319 yards and 35 touchdowns, a 14-touchdown increase from Geno Smith’s 21 touchdowns.

The Seahawks' wide receiver room is also drastically different. Seattle cut veteran wideout Tyler Lockett due to cap constraints and traded superstar wide...

The NFL schedule is out, and the New Orleans Saints now know who they will be playing and when. In week 2, an old division rival, the San Francisco 49ers, comes to town.

The 49ers will play their second straight road game to start the season after Seattle. If star running back Christian McCaffrey is healthy to start the season, San Francisco could be a formidable opponent.
