Locked On Saints - Daily Podcast On The New Orleans Saints

A deep dive in what the Chargers do well, where they struggle, and how New Orleans matches up.

The Saints returned four players to practice and are hopeful to return some key starts on Monday night. Ryan Ramczyk returns earlier than expected, but there's reason to hold off on optimism this early.

The Chargers defense wins at the front seven but the back end has been a liability. How do the Saints protect against the rush while taking advantage of a weak zone defense?

Los Angeles loves to air it out, especially with their RBs and TEs. The Saints will have to win some key matchups in order to limit the Chargers offense now led by rookie quarterback Justin Herbert.
