| Happy Friday, and welcome to the Saints Insider Newsletter for Oct. 28. The Sains, as you know, are 2-5 headed into Sunday’s home game against the Las Vegas Raiders. How did they get here and how can they get things tuned around. Our team of beat writers (Luke Johnson and Terrin Waack) and columnists (Jeff Duncan and I) gathered at the roundtable to give you our thoughts on it all. Also, here’s my column on Dennis Allen’s decision to go with Andy Dalton instead of Jameis Winston as the starting quarterback this week. The Saints’ practice report is always something intriguing. It was no different Thursday as another name was added to it. Read the practice report to see who it was. Some good news has been linebacker Demario Davis, who is making the most of his opportunities in his pass rush opportunities. One big key for the Saints on Sunday will be slowing down Raiders’ running back Josh Jacobs. Read here about the challenges Jacobs brings. That's all for today. Check our website throughout the day for the latest updates, including what players will be available Sunday. Thanks for reading. Enjoy the weekend. Rod Walker |
