Saints Might Have Teased Jordan Tyson Return After The Bye Week
The New Orleans Saints may have signaled Jordyn Tyson’s return to practice ahead of Week 9, potentially giving Tyler Shough a dynamic weapon for the offense. A practice-squad roster move and Tyson’s ability to attack the middle of the field could reshape New Orleans’ passing game against the Cleveland Browns.
The Saints also face major bye-week corrections: build a reliable run game, stop opposing rushing attacks, improve third-down defense, protect Shough, and solve the field-goal problem. With Chris Olave, Juwan Johnson, Devaughn Vele and potentially Travis Etienne Jr. in the offensive mix, New Orleans hopes to revers...
The Stats That Prove Saints Regressed, Are Putting Too Much Pressure On Tyler Shough
The New Orleans Saints produced zero yards before contact per carry in a 16-10 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, exposing a rushing attack that still hasn’t found its promised identity. Tyler Shough delivered a career-best 59.5% successful-play rate on dropbacks, but New Orleans remains 0-12 when losing the turnover battle under Kellen Moore.
The Saints rank fifth in the NFL in 11 personnel usage at 69.1%, while 12 and 13 personnel have barely shaped the offense. Chris Olave and Devaughn Vele remain central to the passing game, but Barion Brown’s 40-plus-yard reception raised questions about his limited six-route workload.

Complacency, Lack Of Consequence Dooming Saints' Season, Progress
The New Orleans Saints need consequences before they can expect improvement, and the bye week creates a critical opportunity for change. Is the biggest problem talent, coaching, or the decision-making at the top of the organization?
Kellen Moore must evaluate a struggling run game and the coaching of Brendan Nugent. Daniel Carlson’s 66.7% field-goal rate, tied for the NFL’s worst among employed kickers, raises the possibility of turning to Charlie Smyth. Martin Emerson’s promotion after two interceptions shows the value of rewarding strong play, but the Saints also need accountability for poor performance.
The di...
Saints, Kellen Moore Return To Old Ways Raising Temperature Yet Again
The New Orleans Saints lost 16-10 to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Paris, exposing the same problems that have stalled the season: 17 rushing attempts for 18 yards, ineffective run defense, and too much pressure on quarterback Tyler Shough. With Shough playing through hand injuries, Kellen Moore’s offense is failing its best asset.
The Saints’ interior defensive line, including Davon Godchaux, Chriten Miller, Vernon Broughton, and Khristian Boyd, remains a major liability against the run. Chris Olave, Devaughn Vele, Chase Young, Carl Granderson, and Barion Brown provided bright spots, but inconsistent goal-line play, Daniel Carlson’s continued kicking struggles, and po...

New Orleans Saints, Tyler Shough, Kellen Moore Eye a Paris Breakthrough vs. Steelers

Mickey Loomis Acknowledges The Uncomfortable After Saints' Owner Gayle Benson's Comments
Gayle Benson’s public criticism has made the New Orleans Saints uncomfortable, and Mickey Loomis’ response suggests the message reached the facility. With the Saints preparing to face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Paris, the pressure is rising on Loomis, Kellen Moore, and a 2-4 team that must turn a narrow win over the New York Giants into momentum.
Rookie wide receiver Jordyn Tyson remains sidelined 10 weeks after a hamstring injury, raising questions about the Saints’ injury process and his potential return against the Cleveland Browns. Kaden Elliss and Anfernee Jennings returned to practice and could strengthen New Orlean...

Saints, Kellen Moore Energy Shifting At Win In New York, But Still Work To Be Done
One win has already changed the tone around the New Orleans Saints, but a swiftly decreasing 24-point lead against the New York Giants exposed the need to finish games. Tyler Shough, Alvin Kamara, Kendre Miller and now Jeremiah Wright may look to keep the Saints’ improved rushing attack rolling against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Paris.
New Orleans ran for 175 yards on 38 carries, committed to the ground game, used short passes as an extension of the run, and generated 3.53 yards after contact. The Saints also face key injury updates, with first-round wide receiver Jordyn Tyson potentially returning to pr...

Tyler Shough delivered four total touchdowns, Alvin Kamara created explosive plays, and New Orleans rushed for more than 170 yards, yet the Saints still need to learn how to close out games.
Martin Emerson Jr. became an instant difference-maker with two interceptions, four passes defended, and seven tackles after Kool-Aid McKinstry left with a migraine. Rookie Jeremiah Wright brought power and energy to the offensive line after Cesar Ruiz suffered a knee injury, helping...

Tyler Shough faces a big day as the New Orleans Saints battle the New York Giants in a pivotal NFL Week 6 matchup.

Saints Owner Gayle Benson Turns Up The Heat On Kellen Moore, Mickey Loomis
Gayle Benson has turned up the heat on the New Orleans Saints after a 1-4 start, calling for accountability and naming Kellen Moore, Mickey Loomis, the coaching staff, and the players. With losses to the Falcons and Vikings exposing preparation and execution issues, the Saints must respond against the New York Giants.
The discussion examines the Saints’ roster moves, including Jayden Price’s release, and the team’s progress putting key players in position to succeed. Kool-Aid McKinstry’s increased press coverage, Carl Granderson’s versatile pass-rush role, Tyler Shough’s play-action efficiency, and the offense’s red-zone produ...
Saints' Offensive Opportunities Limited In Kellen Moore’s Approach

Saints' Kellen Moore Is Already Running Out Of Time
Kellen Moore has lost the benefit of the doubt after the New Orleans Saints fell to 1-4 with a 23-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. New Orleans continues to suffer from slow starts, poor preparation, offensive predictability, and a process that has produced only one first-quarter lead during Moore’s tenure. At this point, the team's consistent and repeated issues point to one constant: coaching.
Tyler Shough and Chris Olave continue to bring value along with other talented players, but the Saints offense has averaged only 18 points per game after defensive scoring since the beginning of 2025. The de...

Saints' Key To Beating Brian Flores' Famously Aggressive Blitz
The New Orleans Saints must establish the run and beat Brian Flores’ aggressive Minnesota Vikings defense before pressure overwhelms Tyler Shough. One pre-snap looks can become something entirely different after the snap, forcing all 11 Saints players to read quickly, protect the football, and attack every coverage weakness.
The Saints may need to get a look at CJ Donaldson or Zamir White  to help create the yards after contact New Orleans has been missing.

The New Orleans Saints May Be Losing Their Identity Before They Can Fully Define It
The New Orleans Saints’ offensive identity has been shaped by necessity, not design, as Tyler Shough leads the NFL with 180 passing attempts and 83.3% have come while trailing. New Orleans must find balance before facing Brian Flores’ blitz-heavy Minnesota Vikings defense.
The Saints’ offensive line faces another major test after allowing heavy pressure against the Atlanta Falcons, who pressured Shough on 49% of his snaps. Chase Young was neutralized by quick passes, chips, screens, and extra protection, exposing the need for Carl Granderson, Cam Jordan, Tyree Wilson, or Kaden Elliss to create pressure opposite him.
