Saints Defense is Dominating Camp

The Saints have better weapons than they did a year ago. Through four practices, those pieces still are not working together consistently. We break down the timing issues between Tyler Shough, Jordyn Tyson and Chris Olave, the first-team offense's 3-of-13 day in team drills and what needs to change once the pads come on. We also go through the Day 4 practice film, including the early-down play-action shot to Olave, Spencer Rattler's touchdown to Bryce Lance, Jonas Sanker's breakup on Tyson, Pete Werner's play on Travis Etienne Jr. and Julian Blackmon's interception. Then we get into how the Saints can use 12, 13 and pony personnel without becoming predictable, Noah Fant's comments on using tempo with heavier groupings and the possibilities created by pairing Etienne with Alvin Kamara. We close with Ja'Lynn Polk's surprise retirement, what it means for the receiver depth chart and why the low-cost trade was still a worthwhile gamble. Plus, why the Saints should explore a Chase Young extension before another strong season raises the price. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
