"We're looking at it like, we've got to get these guys this week"

By John DeShazier - Senior Writer | New Orleans Saints

The New Orleans Saints defense isn't judging the book by its cover.

It can't afford to.

While the Carolina Panthers are 1-11 entering Sunday's game against the Saints (5-7) in the Caesars Superdome, with a struggling offense and a rookie quarterback (No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young) who has been sacked 44 times while completing 61 percent of his passes for 2,055 yards and nine touchdowns, with nine interceptions, the Saints defense is one that has had first-half struggles for seven consecutive games, five of which have concluded in defeat.

New Orleans beat Carolina 20-17 at Bank of America Stadium in the second game of the season on Sept. 18, and sacked Young four times in the game while limiting the Panthers to 139 net passing yards.

But the rookie ran for 34 yards on two carries and kept alive several plays with his mobility.

Since that game, Carolina's head coach, offensive coordinator and running backs coach were dismissed. Special team coach Chris Tabor is the interim coach; the Panthers were beaten 21-18 by Tampa Bay in his debut last Sunday. ...

The 2024 NFL Draft is about to get underway in a few days and the New Orleans Saints hold the 14th overall pick in the first round.

As he does every year, Saints GM Mickey Loomis held a pre-draft press conference to discuss all things draft related with the media. Here were some of the highlights from Loomis’ Tuesday presser:

“For us, we will look at, since we’re at 14, what it takes to get to 13? What’s it take to get to 12, 11, 10, nine, eight. That’s probably about where I’ll cut it off. Then I’ll go back, how far back are we willing to go? Generally, I’ll go ten spots in front and...

We’re rapidly approaching the 2024 NFL draft, and New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis shed some light on what the black and gold might be planning in his annual pre-draft press conference with local media. Loomis fielded questions on a variety of topics — mostly centered on the draft, but some focusing on other major issues with the team — and for the most part avoided tipping his hand.

Still, it’s worth checking in on what he was willing to divulge.

Trevor Penning not yet an option at guard for the Saints

Trevor Penning’s NFL career has not gone as planned. The 2022 first-round pick only started one game in his rookie year, and the New Orleans Saints benched him after just six starts last season. Now he’s going into Year 3 without a spot guaranteed in the starting lineup. So what’s the plan for him? What can he do to ditch the dreaded “bust” label?

Will Penning move inside to guard in 2024, or is he still training to play at left tackle? Is he still seen as a tackle at all? How does Mickey Loomis answer that question?

“Yeah,” Loomis confirmed when asked exactly that during Tuesday’s...

Just how confident is Mickey Loomis that Marshon Lattimore will be playing for the New Orleans Saints this year? The team’s general manager fielded questions from local media during his pre-2024 draft press conference on Tuesday, and the topic of Lattimore’s status came up.

So how did Loomis react when asked whether he was confident Lattimore would be on the roster this year?

“Yeah,” Loomis said, but when asked if he’d have responded with anything but a positive confirmation, he replied with “What do you think?”

When asked a follow-up question, Loomis tried to tamp it down, saying that...

Props to Alvin Kamara for making the most of his offseason. The New Orleans Saints running back headlined “The Catch” sport fishing tournament in Florida last week, teaming up with Miami Dolphins star Raheem Mostert to win the whole thing. They competed with other NFL players including Kamara’s former Saints teammates Trey Hendrickson and Jameis Winston.

One of the highlights of the fishing rodeo came when Kamara and two of his teammates hooked three sailfish at the same time. Kamara described it as “Chaos. Organized chaos … It was great. Lot of moving parts, but I think we did it...

The New Orleans Saints still have needs heading into the 2024 NFL Draft, but many can still be solved. Since Dennis Allen took over as head coach, the Saints showed the ability to identify the biggest need on the team and draft a solution. This was shown in 2022 with the picks of Trevor Penning and Chris Olave and the draft picks of Bryan Bresee and Isaiah Foskey in 2023. Tackle and wide receiver were by far the biggest need in 2022, and defensive tackle and edge rusher were the biggest need in 2023. Although some of these players have not fully worked out, the team still drafted what was...
