| Happy Friday and welcome to the Saints Insider newsletter for Sept. 23. The Saints’ defense will face Baker Mayfield for the first time ever when they face the Carolina Panthers on Sunday in Charlotte. The Saints have recorded just one sack in their first two games. Saints beat writer Terrin Waack writes about how that’s not a concern yet. Saints rookie cornerback Alontae Taylor got thrown into the fire on Sunday, stepping in to play against Tom Brady and the Buccaneers after Marshon Lattimore was ejected. Taylor, with some inspiration from Demario Davis, showed what he can do. Read all about in Luke Johnson’s story on Alontae Taylor. Speaking of cornerbacks... Second-year cornerback Paulson Adebo has yet to play this season, but practiced Thursday more than he has since he first suffered the high ankle sprain. Luke Johnson caught up with Adebo as he works his way back. Also, columnist Jeff Duncan gives you some betting tips on this weekend’s action. That's all for today. Check our website throughout the day for any updates. As always, thanks for reading. Enjoy your weekend. Rod Walker |
