Feeling the need, the need for Shaheed

Happy All Saints Day!

The Saints turn 57 today. On Nov. 1 1966, NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle officially awarded a franchise to the city of New Orleans. What a monumental in the history of our great city. 

Now, let's turn our attention to our coverage from Tuesday:

More than just a 'speed guy'

Second-year receiver Rashid Shaheed is coming off his best game as a pro, a three-catch, 153-yard breakout performance against the Colts. Luke Johnson documents how the former Weber State track star is blossoming into one of the NFL's most dangerous deep threats. Some of his numbers are eye-opening.

A scary thought about Halloween 2021

Columnist Rod Walker revisits the Saints' Halloween game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021, a day when everything changed for the Saints -- and Jameis Winston. Rod contemplates the alternate realities possible for both parties had things turned out differently that day.

A tale of 2 trades

The NFL trade deadline came and went Tuesday with the Saints electing to make no deals. But that doesn't mean they weren't impacted. The next two opponents -- the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings -- both made big moves, Patrick Magee reports. Both deals could have major repercussions on the Saints' games against the Bears and Vikings.

That's it for today. We'll ramp up the coverage and analysis on Wednesday as the Saints begin preparations for the Chicago Bears, who they face Sunday in the Superdome. 

Until next time, have a great day...

Cheers,

Jeff Duncan
