Good morning, and welcome to the Saints Insider newsletter for Wednesday, January 4. Tuesday was a somber day as the NFL world continued to deal with the fallout from Damar Hamlin's horrific injury on Monday Night Football. We have plenty of coverage of the story, including a column I felt inspired to write after watching the events unfold on Monday night. But first, let's talk Saints, who are coming off their most impressive and complete win of the season. One of the silver linings to the disappointing season has been the emergence of several young, new headliners in the lineup. This group carried the Saints in their 20-10 victory against the Eagles in Philadelphia. A look at the young, emerging stars on the Saints depth chart and how they played key roles in the big upset. In other coverage: Our news story on the Hamlin incident with details on his condition and reaction from the NFL world. WWL-TV sports director Doug Mouton joins Jim Derry to analyze the Hamlin situation and break down LSU and Tulane's huge bowl wins on Episode 129 of the Dat-titude podcast. That's it for today. We'll have more coverage throughout the week as the Saints begin preparations for their regular season finale on Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. Until next time, Jeff Duncan |
