We got our first access to one of the many Saints OTA sessions on Tuesday, which gave us plenty of goodies to talk about for the next week. As always, here's all of my notes, observation and more from what all I saw at practice.

Saints OTAs, Day 1 Notes, Observations and More

ATTENDANCE


Twelve Saints were not spotted during the open portion of OTAs on Tuesday. Keep in mind, attendance is strictly voluntary, and Dennis Allen said afterwards that he's aware of those who were not attending, whether it be for a personal reason or not. Stanley Morgan Jr., Jamaal Williams, Marshon Lattimore, Kool-Aid McKinstry, Nephi Sewell, Jaylan Ford, Nathan Latu, Ryan Ramczyk, Tanoh Kpassagnon, Nathan Shepherd and Chase Young.

Several of the absences were related to injuries, which we touched on this morning. Oli Udoh was working off to the side, while Nathan Peterman, Mark Evans and Tommy Hudson were not participating.

MARSHON LATTIMORE

We got some really good information on the future of Lattimore on Monday afternoon from Dennis Allen, and it sounded even more promising after another update rom the Saints head coach. Allen doesn't expect to see him before minicamp, but say that's not uncommon, going back to 2020. ...

Taysom Hill takes snaps at fullback at today’s OTA

On May 21, the New Orleans Saints held the first day of organized team activities, or OTA’s. It is Day one of three that run through the 23rd.

Tight end Taysom Hill was in attendance and did something a little unexpected. According to Sean Fazende of FOX8, Hill took reps at tight end and the full-back position.

While this is an interesting move, it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. New offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak helped run an offense in San Francisco that featured a lethal fullback in Kyle Juszczyk, an eight-time pro-bowler at the position. He would be featured in plays in...

The New Orleans Saints kicked off OTAs on Tuesday providing a lot of information about how the team plans on positioning the offensive line.

Rookie tackle Taliese Fuaga lined up at left tackle, moving third-year tackle Trevor Penning to the right side. Newly signed guard Shane Lemieux shared snaps at left guard with second-year lineman Nick Saldiveri. Erick McCoy remains at center with Cesar Ruiz at right guard.

Fuaga played right tackle in college but was moved to the left during rookie mini-camp and New Orleans likes him there. Trevor Penning struggled at left tackle during the 2023...

Dennis Allen not sweating Marshon Lattimore's absence at voluntary OTAs

It’s important to remember that voluntary organized team activities are, as the name implies, voluntary. Many veteran players will start the offseason working away from the team, having hired personal trainers and specialists to help them get in shape before the spring practices pick up in earnest.

And that’s the approach Marshon Lattimore has taken over the years. Despite ongoing trade speculation surrounding the four-time Pro Bowl cornerback, New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen downplayed his absence after the team practiced at voluntary OTAs on Tuesday.

“I wouldn’t say that’s...

Saints' new coaching staff has Trevor Penning at right tackle

Trevor Penning and Taliese Fuaga played on the left and right sides of the offensive line in college, but the New Orleans Saints have them swapping roles early in the 2024 offseason. When the Saints gathered for voluntary organized team activities (OTAs) on Tuesday, Penning was busy learning to play at right tackle. It’s an experiment his new coaches feel could be what’s best for him.

“All arrows are up on Trevor Penning right now,” said Saints offensive line coach John Benton, who added that the plan was to try him out at right tackle regardless of this year’s draft haul. If the Saints...

With the revealing of the New Orleans Saints season schedule happening just a couple of days ago, many of us had our own separate thoughts and opinions on these games. At first glance, it was quick to note that the team’s toughest stretch of games came within the first five weeks of the season. Within those five weeks, the team will travel to Dallas, Kansas City and Atlanta, while also hosting the Eagles in that same span. A tough stretch for this Saints team to begin the season. While we do know that the team won’t experience a stretch of this difficulty again, an interesting question to...

Now that the New Orleans Saints full schedule has been released, the staff at CSC has made their picks for each game of the Saints season:

Of the 17 games on the schedule, the CSC staff was only unanimous on 5 predictions this year. These being a win at home over the Panthers, a loss at the Chiefs and at home against the Rams and wins in both the Saints “revenge” games this year against the Raiders and Broncos. The average record between the staff's predictions was 10-7, a bit more than the Saints projected win total of 7.4.

The Saints schedule this year starts with a rough stretch of...

New Orleans Saints game previews: Week 1 vs. Carolina Panthers

Our New Orleans Saints game previews kick off with Week 1’s opener against the Carolina Panthers. How much help does Bryce Young have? What’s different about the Panthers from the last time they crossed paths with the Saints? And how does this game impact the all-time series history between the two rivals?

Let’s start with the obvious. Neither of the two head coaches leading Carolina in 2023’s games against the Saints will be patrolling the opposite sideline this time — not after Frank Reich was fired at midseason and replaced by interim coach Chris Tabor. The Panthers recruited former...

New Orleans Saints head coach Dennis Allen gave an injury update on newly signed defensive end Chase Young. According to Allen, Young’s health is going in a positive direction, but he doesn't expect him to see the practice field anytime soon. Young has participated in walk-throughs during OTA’s and the team expects that to be his status until they reevaluate him before training camp.

When New Orleans signed Young, they were aware of his health and expected him to be out for the majority of the off-season.

The addition of Chase Young was the Saints’ big off-season signing and they’re...
