San Francisco Drug Arrests Are Surging.

Alvin Kamara, New Orleans Saints Will Lean On Run Game Vs. New York Jets: The New Orleans Saints and New York Jets square off with the Saints hoping for the return of Alvin Kamara and a healthy-handed Taysom Hill. Both teams are dealing with injuries, but on the Saints side, there's hope on the horizon. After practicing in full on Wednesday, things are looking good for the Saints and a potential return for Alvin Kamara. Meanwhile, Terron Armstead and Marcus Davenport were limited and can also hopefully find their ways back to the field as well. Meanwhile, the Jets are dealing with injuries to some very important key pieces on both sides of the ball like Elijah Moore, CJ Mosley, and others. The Jets' defensive line could shake this game up while the Saints offensive line will be key to holding up of the offense and extending drives. Meanwhile, Taysom Hill will be without leading receiver Deonte Harris. Could Easop Winston be the next man up in the Saints passing game.

New Orleans Saints Jameis Winston, Tyrann Mathieu Immediately Impact at OTAs: New Orleans Saints stars Jameis Winston, Tyrann Mathieu, and Chris Olave make immediate impact and display leadership at Saints OTAs. Michael Thomas "isn't ready yet" but is expected to be back for training camp. Cam Jordan and Marcus Davenport are near locked at defensive end, but the spot next to David Onyemata on the interior could be wide open for an intriguing position battle. Demario Davis and Pete Werner are set to start at linebacker, but the third spot in the second level could also be up for grabs. Second-round NFL draft selection Alontae Taylor will get a chance to battle for a starting role, but Paulson Adebo looks locked in to start opposite Marshon Lattimore while Tyrann Mathieu, Marcus Maye, and C.J.

New Orleans Saints, Chris Olave Might Be Perfect Fit | NFL Combine Watchlist: The New Orleans Saints are in the market for a wide receiver, and one from a common connection could be the perfect fit in Ohio State Buckeyes receiver Chris Olave. Olave told me about his meeting with the Saints and his relationship with Michael Thomas. But is he a fit with the Saints? Looking back at 2021 and where the team struggled most at pass-catcher, it sure seems like it. If New Orleans intends to try to continue to stretch the field with Jameis Winston or another big-armed QB, Olave would be a great option opposite Michael Thomas. Returning Deonte Harty would be a huge benefit as well. With Olave comes not only a dynamic weapon, but a dynamic group. Along with Olave, Treylon Burks, Wan'Dale Robinson, and other receivers will be on Saints fans' minds as the NFL scouting combine begins workouts. So will Malik Willis, Kenny Pickett, and other quarterbacks with the veteran market dwindling. Who to watch by Locked On Saints - Daily Podcast On The New Orleans Saints

Jameis Winston is a Much Better Fit For New Orleans Saints Than Baker Mayfield: A New Orleans Saints Jameis Winston/Baker Mayfield debate is starting to get pushed, and it's a needless conversation. Winston is the much better quarterback that is familiar with the Saints system and has engrained himself in the culture of the team and vice versa. Changing paths to Mayfield would not make any sense for the Saints in 2022. There are two scenarios in which Baker would be a fit in New Orleans, but neither are built or should be built around replacing Winston. Would you rather turn to Mayfield for a couple of games in a worst-case scenario situation or Andy Dalton? Do the Saints have the best offensive line in the NFC South? While the Atlanta Falcons are laughable when it comes to the raw numbers, the data in our second part of the evaluation points to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Will New Orleans Saints See Defensive Drop Off After Malcolm Jenkins Retirement?: Will losing Malcolm Jenkins hurt the New Orleans Saints defense? It's likely unless they're able to find a complementary piece next to Marcus Maye. But the loss of Jenkins compiled with the loss of Marcus Williams could cause some big issues in communication and coverage in the backend. The loss of Jenkins does save the Saints some money. The salary cap implications of his retirement will take a moment to be seen, though. Penn State's Jaquan Brisker and Baylor's Jalen Pitre would be ideal options to replace Jenkins if the Saints went the NFL Draft route. If not replacing him directly, they have enough versatility to allow the Saints the chance to move pieces around in the secondary.

New Orleans Saints Jameis Winston's Recovery Could Make Him An Even Better QB: New Orleans Saints QB Jameis Winston suffered a season-ending ACL injury last season, and sees his rehabilitation process as an opportunity to get better and improve areas of the game he wants to focus on. Alvin Kamara, Jarvis Landry, Michael Thomas, and Chris Olave not only get to benefit from his on-field focus, but they help him benefit as well. Winston's first thought after his injury was whether or not he'll return to New Orleans. After Drew Brees and then Sean Payton stepped away, things were murky throughout the Deshaun Watson pursuit. How Jameis ended up back in the Big Easy and why he wanted to return. The Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers will compete with the Saints for the NFC South in 2021. But one advantage New Orleans will maintain is their offensive line, even without Terron Armstead. Part 1 of why New Orleans has the best offensive line in the division.

Jameis Winston, New Orleans Saints Revamped Wide Receivers Can Go to Heights: The New Orleans Saints have built their offense around quarterback Jameis Winston by adding Jarvis Landry and Chris Olave along with the expected return of Michael Thomas. Emory Hunt of CBS Sports HQ believes that the Saints will be a playoff team with Jameis, his new weapons and Alvin Kamara. The Saints are being slept on despite a defense led by Demario Davis, Cameron Jordan, and Tyrann Mathieu amongst others. Why the perception around New Orleans has been so timid and why the loss of Sean Payton, while sizable, doesn't keep the Saints from being a contender in 2022 New Orleans and Dennis Allen are set to exceed expectations, but one more addition on the defense could make all the difference still. Ndamukong Suh could be the best remaining free agent move the Saints could make outside of Odell Beckham Jr. and Kwon Alexander. Find and follow Locked On Saints on your favorite podcast platforms: ?

New Orleans Saints Pete Werner Most Underapprecaited Player w/ Cynthia Frelund: New Orleans Saints linebacker Pete Werner is in line to follow the prestigious footsteps of All-Pro Demario Davis. How Werner's development should take another leap for the 2022 NFL season and why he is the most underappreciated Saints player. NFL analytics expert Cynthia Frelund joins to break it all down. Frelund also believes highly in Jameis Winston and the New Orleans Saints' chances of being a playoff team in 2022. Why the return of Michael Thomas has such a huge impact. Dai'Jean Dixon and Easop Winston are two wide receivers to keep an eye out on to land a spot behind MT, Chris Olave, Jarvis Landry, Deonte Harty, and Marquez Callaway. Could one of them run Tre'Quan Smith for his role? The best NFC South offensive line may just come down to which team can answer their questions better. The Saints or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

New Orleans Saints Sign Jarvis Landry, Continue Building Competitor: The New Orleans Saints have signed Jarvis Landry, solidifying the offense alongside Michael Thomas, Chris Olave, Alvin Kamara and Jameis Winston. The Saints are ready to compete in a weakened NFC and ready to fight for the NFC South. Jarvis Landry brings a great piece to help the Saints and Jameis Winston attack all three levels of opposing defenses, he also brings a veteran leader to the offense. The issues the Saints experienced at wide receiver in 2021 should be no more heading into 2022. Kwon Alexander should be the nest LSU player returning to New Orleans. At least that would help to keep the momentum and fan excitement up. But running back and tight end would be some interesting additions as well to help continue to elevate the offense for Dennis Allen and Pete Carmichael.

New Orleans Saints Mock Draft Rundown: Arkansas' Treylon Burks A Popular Pick: The New Orleans Saints have been connected very often to wide receivers over the course of the offseason so far, especially in the draft. Alabama WR Treylon Burks has been a popular name, but so too have the Ohio State duo of Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave, along with Purdue's David Bell and other names. But it's not limited to wideouts, offensive line and quarterbacks have been a popular pick as well. The most trendy pick? Ole Miss' Matt Corrall New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Denis Allen still hasn't gotten much attention with all of the open head coaching positions around the NFL, but could that change soon depending on the Minnesota Vikings GM search? And could there be another suitor at a later time? If Allen goes, the potential exodus of defensive coaches could be challenging for the Saints to overcome. In case you missed it, rounding up all the biggest New Orleans Saints stories of the week. by Locked On Saints - Daily Podcast On The New Orleans Saints
