Sean Payton says NFL’s targeting rule won’t result in more flags
By James Parks
Targeting will come to the National Football League in 2018.
Among the new rules proposed by the league’s Competition Committee and eventually voted on by the 32 teams is a measure that forbids players from going into tackles with lowered helmets, in an effort to curb chronic head and brain injuries in players.
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy explained the new rule, thus: “It is a foul if a player lowers his head to initiate and make contact with his helmet against an opponent. The player may be disqualified. Applies to any player anywhere on the field.”
The new infraction will cost the guilty team 15 yards and, if committed by a defensive player, will result in an automatic first down for the offensive team.
Immediately, the new rule came under heavy criticism, mostly from defensive players, including cornerbacks Richard Sherman and Josh Norman, among others, who argued that it would force tacklers to be so cautious as to result in missed or poorly executed tackles and dilute the quality of the game. ...

The Saints’ sack disparity without Derek Carr is telling. How much of it is on the offensive line?
The New Orleans Saints entered the 2024 season with no bigger concern than the offensive line. Only two starters returned from last year. Their left tackle, first-round pick Taliese Fuaga, played right tackle in college. Their right tackle, 2022 first…

Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Alvin Kamara remain DNP on Saints' Friday injury report
The New Orleans Saints fielded their second practice of the week on Friday as they continue to work towards their Week 16 game on Monday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers. The participation status for all players, both on the Saints and Packers remained the same from Thursday to Friday.
The one most notable thing about the report is that after missing Thursday’s practice, Marquez Valdes-Scantling (chest/illness) remained on the report with the updated status of having an illness. He was supposed to be able to return Friday, however, with the illness added on, he will miss a...

Tulane vs. Florida: Gasparilla Bowl Open Thread
Today, the Tulane Green Wave (9-4) face the Florida Gators (7-5) in the Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl. Tulane is certainly disappointed by losing a second-consecutive AAC Championship Game, costing them an opportunity to land in the top 25, but a chance to earn one more win to end the season remains. A win today, while not particularly prestigious, would certainly feel good going into a new year of Tulane football in New Orleans.

How Darren Rizzi compares to previous Saints’ interim head coaches
Ernie Hefferle. Wade Phillips. Rick Venturi. What do those names have in common? They’re all the previous interim head coaches of the New Orleans Saints.
None of them were able to get the job for a full season, and interim head coach Darren Rizzi might soon be joining the group. But, he’s already managed to set himself apart from the interim coaches of the Saints past.
It might not seem like much, especially with how this season has felt, but winning is the main thing that has set him apart from the others. Hefferle went 1-7, Phillips went 1-3, and Venturi went 1-7. Rizzi, with three...

Bleacher Report suggests the Saints sign new left tackle this offseason
Bleacher Report has completed its article detailing the biggest needs for each NFL team in the remainder of the 2024 season, as well as a potential signing for each team in the upcoming offseason. There are some big-name free agents in this class, however, the Saints will have to work around the cap space once again to get in on any if they want some, and this seems to have been factored in when considering who they should target according to this article.
The recommended player they should pursue according to Bleacher Report is Pittsburgh Steelers left tackle Dan Moore Jr. Their opinion...

One player that has stepped up his play in recent weeks is Cameron Jordan. Jordan didn’t have a good season last year and started this season slow as well. The defensive end even began to be phased out of the rotation.
Jordan has awoken over the last five weeks. He’s getting to the quarterback and making impact plays again. Darren Rizzi described Jordan as being “reenergized” during this hot streak.
But what changed? Why is one of the leaders of the New Orleans Saints suddenly improving and feeling reenergized in the middle of the season?

Clyde Edwards-Helaire talks return to Louisiana after first Saints practice
The New Orleans Saints signing of Clyde Edwards-Helaire brings another Louisiana native back to the state, as he was born and raised in Baton Rouge. Edwards-Helaire then went on to play high school football at Catholic High School in Baton Rouge, before moving on to college where he would spend three seasons with LSU, win a National Championship, and move on to the NFL.
He will now have a chance to play at this level with the Saints, and he had the opportunity to discuss this return to the state after his first practice with his new team on Thursday.

Darren Rizzi says Saints were high on Clyde Edwards-Helaire in 2020 draft
The New Orleans Saints jumped at the opportunity to add Clyde Edwards-Helaire to the practice squad, head coach Darren Rizzi says their interest goes back years.
In speaking to the press about their recent running back addition, Rizzi spoke of the Saints’ thoughts on him coming out of college and says the signing had nothing to do with Alvin Kamara’s injury.
“I loved him when he was back at LSU,” Rizzi said. “Studied him a lot coming out. He was high on our draft boards. Just always kind of kept an eye on him. We had the opportunity, when they waived him, to get him on the practice...

Darren Rizzi 'really impressed' by Spencer Rattler's final drive vs. Commanders
When Spencer Rattler stepped in for Jake Haener against the Washington Commanders, he led four consecutive scoring drives. Darren Rizzi’s explanation for inserting Rattler into the game was the New Orleans Saints needed a spark. Mission accomplished.
One of the more impressive things about Rattler’s game is how he performed in crunch time. Rattler returns to the starting lineup until Derek Carr is healthy enough to play, if that happens in 2024. The rookie will need to take some of the positives from end of Week 15 and carry them throughout the game.
