This week in Saints talk

The shows spent the week breaking down the Saints-Steelers game in Paris, with talk centered on Tyler Shough's development in year two and the Saints' defense getting looks at Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers' young offensive line. There's been debate about whether travel and circumstances favor New Orleans, though the picks lean toward Pittsburgh, and the shows also covered some security concerns around the Paris protests ahead of the game.
