This week in Saints talk

The shows have been discussing the Saints across multiple angles this week. There's some optimism around offensive line moves and young talent development, but more skepticism about the roster's injury risk and whether the defense can generate pass rush. One host liked New Orleans as a potential division contender, though most of the talk centered on concerns like a tough early schedule and a hamstring injury that's worth monitoring.

Written by The Cutdown's reader from this week's clips.
