The New Orleans Saints have completed an in-person interview with Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore for their head coaching position. This was via an announcement from the team on Tuesday morning.

New Orleans flew into Philadelphia to meet with Moore, who is in his first year with the team. The Eagles advanced to Super Bowl LIX with a 55-23 win over Washington in the NFC Championship game on Sunday.

The East-West Shrine Bowl will air Thursday night. When you sit down to watch the game, you should take your time to focus on the West Team’s defensive tackles.

Specifically, take a look at Indiana’s C.J. West, Boston College’s Cam Horsley and Maryland’s Jordan Philips. Philips is one of two players ESPN’s Jordan Reid called the biggest risers of Shrine Bowl practices.

The New Orleans Saints need a defensive tackle to pair with Bryan Bresee. You’d aim for someone with more run stuffing ability, and all three of these players were described to meet the qualifications prior to practice...

Josaiah Stewart, an edge defender out of Michigan, is a prospect on the rise. With the Senior Bowl approaching, the New Orleans Saints should give the kid a good look.

Standing at 6’1’’ and weighing 245 lbs., Stewart has shown a surprising amount of versatility. This tweet from NFL analyst Ryan Fowler shows some of that off:

Before transferring to Michigan, Stewart attended Coastal Carolina University for two years from 2021-2022. According to ESPN, as a Chanticleer, he gathered a total of 80 tackles, 16 sacks, and four forced fumbles. When he was a true freshman back in 2021, Stewart...

The New Orleans Saints were about the furthest thing you could be from a Super Bowl team this season, firing their head coach halfway through the season on the way to a 5-12 record and a last place finish in the NFC South. However, two former coaches of theirs will be the defensive coordinators in Super Bowl LIX. Vic Fangio is calling defensive plays for the Philadelphia Eagles, and Steve Spagnuolo is his counterpart on the Kansas City Chiefs.

It has been quite a while since either of these coaches worked for the Saints however. Spagnuolo was the defensive coordinator for the 2012 Saints...

The New Orleans Saints are in somewhat of an intriguing position this offseason, with their head coach and offensive coordinator positions in flux they have some work to do coaching wise. But on top of that, they also have quite a few free agents to discuss and figure out whether or not they want to retain them or let them walk.

One of those free agents is fullback Adam Prentice, who has played in 48 games with the Saints since 2021. While his rushing value is not particularly high, his blocking value is something worth noting for the Saints and their new coaching staff.

With that said...
