Saints-Broncos Debacle Pod: TNF Blowout Shows Familiar Problems, Effort Questions

The New Orleans Saints played their second game in five days, unfortunately it didn’t go any better in a 33-10 TNF loss to Sean Payton’s Broncos and the losing skid stretched to five games. So what went wrong? On the latest episode of the Audacy original podcast Inside Black & Gold, Saints sideline reporter Jeff Nowak and WWL sports director Steve Geller break down effort and high-profile “quit” questions, studs and duds from the matchup with insight from Dennis Allen, Alvin Kamara and others, then dive into the live viewer mailbag. Let’s do it.  Segment 1: Picking Duds from Saints-Broncos: Offense or Defense, It’s all Bad … The New Orleans Saints struggled again, and in a lot of familiar ways. So what stood out? We’ll break down Richard Sherman’s effort comments on the TNF halftime show and what it means for Dennis Allen, the Saints repeated inability to stop ANYBODY in the run game, Spencer Rattler’s struggles in Game 2, a pass rush that couldn’t lay a finger on Bo Nix and a lot more.  Segment 2: Picking Duds from Saints-Broncos: Everyone (and anyone) Can Run on the Saints … Not much went right in Week 7, but we always effort to find *something.* In this case it’s going to be a trio of young players who definitely put down good tape and effort, including a QB who waited his turn and delivered on his opportunity. Also: Good job Drew, you got your chant done. Segment 3: Saints-Broncos Live Mailbag: Primetime Performances Tell Story of Dennis Allen Era … We close out today’s live episode of Inside Black & Gold by diving into the post-blowout mailbag after Saints-Broncos.
