Before Minicamp gets into full swing for the New Orleans Saints, the guys breakdown the recently completed slate of OTA’s…with a catch: We all want Saints news and content however we can get it, but do OTA’s actually offer us any real takeaways? Many observations are made and widely discussed amongst Saints media and all over Saints twitter during and after OTA’s, but which takeaways are “something” and which ones are, in reality, “nothing”? The guys get into it, and as always, drum up some interesting debate on the topic in this latest episode.

While the Saints' offense boasts undeniable weapons and talent, the Saints' defense has been proven its consistency as a top ten unit the past few seasons. This episode, the guys breakdown what units and players will help the defense maintain that consistency, or even help it reach a top 5 level in 2023. Can they stay healthy enough to do it? Will the D-Line shine, even with all the key departures, new faces, and young talent added? Speaking of departures, Corey claims to have been in on Kaden Ellis from the ground floor - Nick and Max call BULLSH*T. Who do you believe? Either way, this episode covers all things Saints Defense at this juncture in the 2023 offseason.

With the draft in the rearview and serious weapons added, does the Saints offense now have what it takes to get back to the top of the league? Things get heated this episode when talking about whether added weapons and a healthy roster equals significant offensive improvement based on last year's performance and play calling…Nick and Corey throw down on whether Carmicahel's "creativity" was hampered by injuries last year or whether he needs to prove whether he even has it at all...Also, added bonus: Special Teams.
