Culture shock: An inside look at what went wrong for Saints

Happy Friday and welcome to the Saints Insider newsletter for January 12, 2024.

Well, the NFL playoffs start tomorrow and the Saints aren’t a part of it. But that doesn’t mean we don’t have plenty of Saints’ news for you to start this offseason.

More on the culture

On yesterday, Saints’ beat writer Matthew Paras wrote about some of the cultural issues with the Saints. Today, columnist Jeff Duncan gives you an inside look at some of the specific issues and also asks the burning question: Can Dennis Allen right the ship? Read what Jeff had to say on the topic.

Carr criticism

Saints quarterback Derek Carr faced his share of criticism this season. Was it fair? Matthew Paras takes a deeper dive into Carr’s first season in the Big Easy.

Jordan’s revenge

Saints' veteran defensive end Cam Jordan wasn’t nearly as productive this season as he’s been in the past. Jordan, who dealt with some nagging injuries this season, vows that next season will be better. Read all about what Cam Jordan had to say about this past season and the next one.

Mulkey chimes in

You’ve heard plenty about the Saints scoring that late touchdown against the Atlanta Falcons. Well, LSU women’s basketball coach Kim Mulkey weighed in on the matter. Here’s what Mulkey had to say.

The Voice

If you attended the Saints’ season finale against the Falcons, you may have heard that chilling version of the national anthem. Well, here’s more of the story on Samyra Miller. She’s from New Orleans. She played high school football and went to Harvard and is approaching 2 million followers on Tik Tok. I caught up with Samyra this week so you could read about her impressive journey.

That’s all for today.

As always, thanks for reading. Be sure to check nola.com throughout the day for more updates. Also, since it’s Friday, make sure to go to the Saints Insider YouTube channel to catch the latest episode.

Have a great weekend.
