Good morning, and welcome to the Sept. 19 edition of the Saints Insider newsletter. The Saints are the talk of the NFL, and the city is abuzz with excitement. It's a fun time to be a Saints fan. Here's what we have for you today: Calling the right shotsNew offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak has pushed all the right buttons during the 2-0 start. Luke Johnson explains how the Saints offense is doing what it's doing. They're not just dominating in the most important situations through two weeks, but they're doing it in a very unique way. A look at the other headlines from Wednesday: • One week after Alontae Taylor was bypassed for the NFC Defensive Player of the Week, Alvin Kamara is named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week. • An offensive lineman was the highest graded Saints player vs. the Cowboys. But you might be surprised which one it was. • Dennis Allen dropped a Kendrick Lamar reference during his postgame speech to the team in Dallas. • The initial injury report featured the absence of one key offensive player but also included the return of another standout. • The latest installment of my "25 for 25" series lists the greatest nicknames in team history. You know your team has a rich history of nicknames when Honey Badger doesn't make the cut. • Former Saints standout Steve Gleason is back home after being hospitalized for six days because of a medical event last week. That'll do it for today. We will have more news and analysis as the Saints ramp up preparations for their big game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. As always, we appreciate your loyal support. Cheers, Jeff Duncan |
