DISASTER: New Orleans Saints’ Depth Exposed As Penalties, Injuries Pile Up In Brutal Loss

The New Orleans Saints were completely outclassed in a 34-0 preseason loss to the Los Angeles Rams, sparking urgent questions about the team’s depth, readiness, and injury woes. Quarterbacks Zach Wilson and Spencer Rattler both failed to separate in the backup role, each plagued by turnovers and inconsistency, while the offense suffered from familiar red zone struggles and special teams blunders.   Kendre Miller stood out as a rare positive, staying healthy despite a depleted running back corps. Penalties, injuries, and procedure issues resurfaced, all echoing last season’s persistent problems.   With starters like Tyler Shough, Chris Olave, Chase Young, and Kool-Aid McKinstry rested, New Orleans saw little hope from their backups and watched red flags multiply ahead of the team's preseason finale with the Dallas Cowboys.   00:21 Saints' Abysmal Loss Recap 09:54 Familiar Problems Return 16:08 Kicker & QB Battles   Photo Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images   BECOME A LOCKED ON SAINTS ALL-ACCESS MEMBER: https://lockedonsaints.supercast.com/   Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms… 🎧https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-saints/   Locked On NFL League-Wide: Every Team, Fantasy, Draft & More 🎧https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-nfl/   LouisianaSports.Net's Ross Jackson hosts the Locked On Saints Podcast keeping the Who Dat Nation up-to-date with everything you need to know about your beloved New Orleans Saints.   And follow Ross on Twitter, where he’ll be sharing the latest news about the New Orleans Saints and talking with fans.
