Keeping It True Bayou! Saints

We look to bring a season preview through the core part of the breakdown, winning in week one changes the pace of the season and can make or break the possibility of a playoff year. Tyler Shough moves into the role of Franchise QB following his captain designation from the team during the week’s preparations. To further the excitement it appears that following the practice reports from the week Alvin Kamara will have a strong chance to play in week one adding depth in the RB room that will lack Audric Estime in week one.

The 2025 football season will be the most thorough rebuilding year the New Orleans Saints have undergone in recent memory. Kellen Moore takes control of a team that is in the process of aging down and building around core pieces that will need to become future faces of the franchise. The season will most likely act as an audition for many players who look to fully submit themselves as top young talents in the league. However, with opportunity also comes the potential for great struggle and if the team does not rally together one of the worst performances in franchise history could become reality for first season head coach Kellen Moore.

Week two of the preseason brings the Saints home to face last year's Hesiman Trophy Winner Travis Hunter and the rest of a new look Jags offense. The match up puts two first year head coaches in the spotlight as the Saints look to find out more as position battles continue in all three phases of the game.

The start to the 2025 preseason was a reflection of the new changes made to this team while still facing the core causes of past struggles. Spencer Rattler would find some success in his opportunity to get the 1st start at QB. However, a lack of scoring would lead to mixed emotions from Saints fans. Tyler Shough put up the most points in his outing but as the Saints twos and three's came out of defense the floodgates for points was too much for the boys in black and gold. Now with a match up against another young team facing them the Saints will look to get a win in the Dome and find out more as injuries and position battles set the tone going into preseason week 2.

As the pads came on so did stronger signs of where the full extent of position battles lie. Kellen Moore enters his final week of pure practice and drills with a team that will demand his attention as the fight for playing time is increased. This weekend will be a chance to determine who gets the bulk of playing time this preseason and could foreshadow what to expect in the regular season.

Kellen Moore started his first Training Camp as a head coach with little to no issues. However, the team is falling deeper out of favorability with football minds following Tyrann Mathieu's retirement announcement. The Saints will no doubt be a constant talking point this preseason as position battles are now forming all around the field. Despite the outside noise players like Cam Jordan and Chris Olave remain excited when interviewed about how all the changes are effecting the team.

As players are taking their final vacations the Saints Staff is working to have all the pieces in place once the team reports to to the training facility on July 23rd. With a multitude of new additions the focus will still gravitate to the most intriguing quarterback battle in the league as Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler begin to split the reps in camp.

The Saints are left off of the Primetime slate for the first time in 25 years. Kellen Moore's Saints will have to take advantage of all those Sunday's as they avoid playing on the road in the cold. The preseason Quarterback Battle will see Tyler Shough and Spencer Rattler take on the Chargers, Travis Hunter and the Jaguars and the Sean Payton lead Denver Broncos as he makes another return to New Orleans. Can the new era of Saints football lead to a year one success let us know in the comments your projected record for the 2025 New Orleans Saints.
