The New Orleans #Saints big offseason signing was RB Travis Etienne, and now he's out for who knows how long? Will Alvin Kamara and Kendre Miller be able to pick up the slack vs. the Atlanta Falcons on Monday night, or will Tyler Shough have to throw it 50 times? We'll ask FOX-8 Sports' Garland Gillen and NOLA.com's Zach Ewing on Thursday's Dattitude (Ep. 547) presented by Evangeline Securities. It's also Week 5 for the Pick Em Krewe, who will have their best bets.

Through most of the third quarter, it seemed as if the New Orleans #Saints were up to their second-half tricks and playing their best football ... But then? A highly controversial call sparked a downward spiral, and the Black and Gold never recovered in a 35-27 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. We offered Who Dats a chance to spew their venom on Monday's Dattitude (Ep. 546) presented by Evangeline Securities.

Either the #Saints will be 2-1 following Sunday's Dome opener or the Las Vegas Raiders will be 3-0. What gives? Are these teams for real? And what about LSU vs. Texas A&M in what amounts to an elimination game Saturday in Baton Rouge? We ask football analyst Lester Ricard and NOLA.com's Zach Ewing on Thursday's Dattitude (Ep. 544) presented by Evangeline Securities. It's also Week 4 for the Pick Em Krewe, who will have their best bets.

For the second straight week to start the season, the New Orleans Saints came back from a double-digit deficit on the road against a playoff-caliber team. This time, Tyler Shough, Chase Young and the Black and Gold finished the deal with a 24-17 win at the Baltimore Ravens. Has your opinion on the rest of the season changed? We asked Who Dats on Monday's Dattitude (Ep. 543) presented by Evangeline Securities.

Late Wednesday, the LSU injury report was released with QB Sam Leavitt listed as doubtful. What does that mean for the Tigers' chances in Coach Lane Kiffin’s return to Ole Miss? We'll ask NOLA.com's Zach Ewing on Thursday's Dattitude (Ep. 541) presented by Evangeline Securities. We'll also talk Saints-Ravens, Tulane-Kansas State and the Pick Em Krewe has their Week 3 selections.

The wild ride we expect in 2026 began Sunday with the #Saints 31-30 overtime loss to the Lions, but do we believe in moral victories? Is Tyler Shough's performance a microcosm of what we'll see all season long? How bad was the overturn of the defensive TD? Intent? Say what? We have plenty to talk about on Monday's Dattitude (Ep. 540) presented by Evangeline Securities. We’ll also touch on the start of LSU-Ole Miss week, as Lane Kiffin heads back to Oxford.

Southern Louisiana suffered a devastating blow this past week, as we lost one a cherished icon in football analyst Mike Detillier. We'll go through some of our favorite moments with him and welcome in Mike Hoss, the voice of the Saints. Also, we'll talk Saints opener at Detroit and LSU craziness with NOLA.com's Zach Ewing, and the Pick Em Krewe is here on Thursday's Dattitude (Ep. 538) presented by Evangeline Securities.

Lots to talk about as LSU is set to open the Lane Kiffin era on Saturday vs. Clemson. Also, we'll focus on the Saints youth movement at WR. Lastly, we'll make our season picks for the NFL playoffs and Super Bowl LXI. Saints editor Zach Ewing and the Pick Em Crew is here on Thursday's Dattitude (Ep. 537) presented by Evangeline Securities. #football

The Saints made some interesting cuts and moves on the way from 81 players to 53. Also, the team's first-round pick, Jordyn Tyson, is on IR, and RB Devin Neal is out for the season. We asked the Dat Family what they think on Monday's Dattitude (Ep. 536) presented by Evangeline Securities. We also look ahead to LSU's opener vs. Clemson and Tulane at Duke.

The #Saints starters have almost solely been on the sideline for the first 2 preseason games. It will be a similar situation for the final game Friday vs. Dallas? Right move? Who is going to win the kicker and QB2 battles? Let's talk to Saints editor Zach Ewing on Thursday's Dattitude (Ep. 535) presented by Evangeline Securities. Our crew also will make out picks for the AFC and NFC South.

There was almost nothing to like from the #Saints on Saturday in their worst preseason loss in 30 years. Zach Wilson? Awful. Spencer Rattler? Head-scratching. The defense? Horrendous. Is this a throwaway game or a sign of things to come? We asked Who Dats what they thought on Monday's Dattitude (Ep. 534) presented by Evangeline Securities.

Last week, we said it's only August and not to worry about the #Saints injuries. Well, one week later we almost can field a team with the list of walking wounded. How long will these injuries linger, and is there something more we should be worried about? We chat on Thursday's Dattitude (Ep. 533) presented by Evangeline Securities as the Saints prep for the Los Angeles Rams in preseason game No. 2. Jim, Zach, Gabe and UBN also offer their predictions in the NFC North and AFC North.

Few are surprised #Saints first-round draft pick Jordyn Tyson is on the shelf with a hamstring injury, but how bad is it? What's the level of concern among Who Dats? That's the lead on Monday's Dattitude (Ep. 532) presented by Evangeline Securities. We also review the Saints' loss to the Jaguars on Saturday with impressive performances from Trey Palmer and Bub Means. Oh, and is Zach Wilson making a move on Spencer Rattler?

We have heard plenty this week that the #Saints offense is way behind the defense. Our response is: It's August … Chill out. We'll talk about it and other camp updates on Thursday's Dattitude (Ep. 531) presented by Evangeline Securities, as the Saints prep for the Jacksonville Jaguars in their first preseason game. Jim, Zach, Gabe and UBN also offer their predictions in the NFC West and AFC West.
