POSTCAST: New Orleans Saints fight, claw, come up short against Tampa Bay Bucs: New Orleans Saints Jameis Winston and the offense sputter while defense holds strong for as long as it can. Saints couldn't do enough to ward off penalities, ejections, and miscues against Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Is it time to hit the panic button? No. But Dennis Allen will have to figure out how to get the offensive going quickly before it's too late. Michael Thomas, Jarvis Landry, and Chris Olave can't find the rhythm they found in the fourth quarter last weekend. Marshon Lattimore and Mike Evans get ejected, and the referees get away with some questionable calls all too much for the Saints to bounce back off of five turnovers committed and six sacks allowed.

Tennessee Titans NEED Justin Simmons at Safety, Best Free Agent Tackles & Needed Depth Spots: The Tennessee Titans have gone through the first major wave of free agency and the draft, but there are still holes remaining on the roster. Most notably at safety where the lack of talent requires them to go out and make a big move. The best one they can make is signing All-Pro Justin Simmons and they have the money to do so. Next, the Titans solved one tackle spot with JC Latham, but right tackle is still a big concern. Pickings are slim though and the Titans may be better off riding with Nicholas Petit-Frere. Finally, there are also holes at edge, center and tight end, but other than edge, there aren't a lot of good options for help. by Locked On Titans - Daily Podcast On The Tennessee Titans

17 Jon Fine - Magazine Editor / Journalist ( Bitch Magnet / Vineland / Coptic Light ): Jon formed Bitch Magnet while in college at Oberlin, and continued to play nearly constantly through his twenties and thirties. But when a moment of “what the fuck am I doing” hit him when he was nearly 40 years old, he committed himself to finding gainful employment - turning his occasional freelance writing into a full-time job in the publishing world. As he rose up the ranks in the industry, he found work at AdAge, Businessweek and as the acting Editor in Chief of Inc. magazine. In our conversation we talk about growing up in the punk/hardcore scene, finding a “real” job, writing a memoir, winning a James Beard award and continuing to play and tour on a more part-time basis as your career takes off, Jon is candid, smart and hilarious about it all. Jon has the ability to clearly communicate the experience all of our guests share and why they’re at where they’re at now. If you only listen to one Kil by Killed by Desk

Tennessee Titans Have Personnel Problems & Biggest Defensive Issue by the Numbers: The fallout from the Tennessee Titans loss to the New York Giants has begun. Some numbers really stick out when analyzing the game on both sides of the ball. First, the number one issue for the Titans offense is how they use their personnel. Highlighted by Geoff Swaim's snap count. It doesn't stop there though as the Titans most explosive players continue to be neglected in terms of targets. Finally, Tyler points out the number that shows the biggest issue with the defense on Sunday.
