Saints Trade for Runningback, Sign Vet Kicker after Ugly Loss in LA + Is Kellen Moore Too Chill?

The Saints have one more preseason game before the regular season, but there are plenty of questions to address after an ugly showing against the Los Angeles Rams. Mario Jerez and Erin Summers break down what went wrong, from 12-men-on-the-field penalties and an illegal formation on fourth down to a Saints defense that failed to record a single hit on the Rams' quarterback despite 43 pass attempts. Is it simply preseason rust and fatigue after joint practices, or are some of these issues more concerning? The guys also discuss whether Saints head coach Kellen Moore's calm demeanor is a concern, especially compared to the more fiery personalities we've seen lead the franchise in the past. Plus, should the starters play in the final preseason game against the Cowboys? Mario explains the players he absolutely does NOT want to see on the field. Special teams is another major concern, with the Saints struggling to find consistency at kicker. After Tanner Brown missed a 39-yard field goal and Charlie Smyth struggled the previous week, the Saints signed veteran kicker Daniel Carlson. On the positive side, Kendre Miller looked healthy in his return, Alvin Kamara showed encouraging signs during his pregame workout, and the Saints added running back Zamir White in a trade with the 49ers to bolster the position amid injuries. Plus, Will Sherman gets a look at center, Lorenzo Styles works at outside cornerback, and Barion Brown surprisingly doesn't see the field. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
