SURPRISE: New Orleans Saints Resting Starters May Be The Wrong Choice, Olave, Shough Impress

The New Orleans Saints’ decision to rest starters against the Dallas Cowboys sparks debate. Skipping preseason snaps could risk disrupting valuable offensive and defensive rhythm, but it could be the smart move for a team already battling injuries. Tyler Shough soars as Chris Olave impresses with a strong return from a practice scare, and Kool-Aid McKinstry makes key defensive plays.   The kicker battle heats up as Charlie Smyth, Tanner Brown, and Daniel Carlson are creating little separation, setting the stage for a crucial final audition. With Smith’s potential as an international practice player and questions about Carlson’s low trajectory on longer kicks, special teams could be a game-changer.   00:22 Saints Resting Starters Debate 05:31 Chris Olave Returns, Impresses 09:47 Saints Kicker Battle Update   Photo Credit: Stephen Lew-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.
