At this time last year, Ryan Ramczyk hadn't even participated in an NFL practice.

A first-round pick from Wisconsin, Ramczyk was still recovering from hip surgery last year when he joined the New Orleans Saints. He sat out organized team activities and then made a brief appearance in minicamp, but the team didn't really have a chance to evaluate him until training camp.

Then, once the season began, Ramczyk quickly exceeded expectations, according to offensive line coach Dan Roushar.

Ramczyk played every offensive snap for the Saints as a rookie, and he was a key reason the 2017 draft class was so impressive last year. Sure, running back Alvin Kamara and cornerback Marshon Lattimore won rookie of the year awards, but Ramczyk's ability to thrive at right tackle helped the Saints continue to have one of the top offenses in the NFL.

Drew Brees' game-winning touchdown is the Saints Play of the Day

How’s this for your New Orleans Saints Play of the Day? There’s just one day left until the Saints kick off their 2024 regular season, which means Drew Brees’ game-winning 1-yard touchdown run against the Atlanta Falcons in 2018 is today’s deserving highlight.

It was a tough game with the dirty birds, going all the way to overtime. The Saints won the coin toss and Brees took over at the New Orleans 20-yard line. What happened next was classic. Brees conducted a surgical 15-play, 80-yard drive (completing 9 of his 11 passes) going all the way down to Atlanta’s goal line before he popped...

Saints elevate two players from their practice squad for Week 1 vs. Panthers

The New Orleans Saints elevated two players from their practice squad for Week 1’s game with the Carolina Panthers, but it may not be who you expect. It takes just a glance at the injury report to explain why they’re available for the season opener.

Linebacker Khaleke Hudson and defensive tackle Kendal Vickers are both eligible to play on Sunday. Veteran nose tackle Khalen Saunders has been ruled out with a calf injury, so it makes sense to bring Vickers up as reinforcement for Bryan Bresee, Nathan Shepherd, Khristian Boyd, and John Ridgway III.

Backup linebackers D’Marco Jackson (calf)...

The New Orleans Saints versus Carolina Panthers will be decided a few matchups. Both teams are looking to evaluate their new offense.

The next chapter in the New Orleans Saints’ rivalry with the Carolina Panthers will be written on Sunday at the start of the 2024 regular season, but which team is ahead in the all-time series history? If you include their matchup in the 2017 postseason, the Saints have built a 31-28 lead on the Panthers since Carolina entered the league back in 1995.

It’s been a tight series ever since, though the NFC South wasn’t formed until 2002. And the Panthers have continued to catch the Saints at bad times with a season sweep in 2022, winning three of their last six games. But New Orleans got the last laugh in 2023 with back-to-back wins, and they’re looking to build off that momentum with a Week 1 win.

Here’s a look at the highlight reels from several recent meetings:

On Sunday, the New Orleans Saints will kick off their season in a home game against the Carolina Panthers. For some rookies, it can’t come soon enough.

First round 2024 NFL Draft pick Taliese Fuaga will see his first official game as an NFL left tackle. Leading up to it, Fuaga seems calm, cool, and collected. His first NFL action will be against Jadeveon Clowney and Derrick Brown, and he didn’t sweat when asked what his thoughts on the subject were.

“I think it’s exciting, just to see where I’m at with my technique,” Fuaga said, “A lot of those players are very experienced, very long...

Credit where it’s due: Zack Baun delivered in a big spot for his new Philadelphia Eagles team. The Eagles left Brazil with a win over the Green Bay Packers on Friday night, and Baun’s efforts were a big part of their success. The former New Orleans Saints linebacker ended the night with 15 combined tackles, two quarterback hits, and two sacks — including a game-winner off of Malik Willis, who had replaced the injured Jordan Love.

And it’s not like Baun was cleaning up tackles 8 or 9 yards downfield. According to the official NFL Gamebook, Baun averaged 3.0 yards per tackle on his 15...

As the New Orleans Saints and Carolina Panthers open the season with a divisional showdown against each other, the biggest storyline on each side is very similar. Each team is looking to see what does their new look offense look like. Neither team’s play caller was on their sideline a year ago.

Dennis Allen brought in Klint Kubiak to be the Saints’ offensive coordinator, and the Panthers hired Dave Canales as their new head coach. Bryce Young and Derek Carr are looking for an improvement from 2023, and their play-callers will have a big part in that.
