In the 2nd hour, Steve and Jeff cover some of the things happening with the Saints special teams as Grupe landed on the injury report before the Falcons game and is still nursing his right groin injury, on the other side of the ball, Shaheed has been our go-to kick/punt returning but with him out, who could step up in that role before diving into some more audio with Deuce's keys to a Saints victory, what other games around the league this week could be interesting, and while the Saints haven't beaten a ton of good teams... neither have the Lions, and we hear from the Saints Soundbank speaking with Saints defensive coordinator Joe Woods on dialing up more blitzes, making Goff feel uncomfortable, and building on the secondary's stellar INT numbers, and our final thoughts heading into today's matchup.

Steve and Jeff are joined by Mike Detillier, WWL NFL & CFB analyst, to discuss the lack of a running threat from Jared Goff and his recent turnover-heavy games, Amon-Ra St. Brown has become the Lions' top receiver and could give the Saints secondary a lot of trouble today, rookie TE Sam LaPorta has become a star for this Lions team, who will step up today for the Saints with Shaheed out and Thomas are IR and what could Derek Carr do to increase his red zone efficiency?

Steve Geller and Jeff Nowak open up this edition of First Take from the Dome as the Saints take on the Detroit Lions as the Saints look to fix their red zone woes against a good but struggling-as-of-late Lions and Mike Detillier, WWL NFL & CFB analyst, joins us to discuss some of the biggest names on the Lions that we should be on the lookout for today and who could fill the Saints WR void with Thomas on IR and Shaheed out, and we hear from our Saints Soundbank as Dennis Allen speaks on what the Lions do well to protect Goff within the pocket, Jimmy Graham possibly returning to the field today, and being comfortable where Derek Carr currently in.

From 'Inside Black & Gold' (subscribe here): Are the New Orleans Saints too complacent? It sure sounds that way based on GM Mickey Loomis’ comments this week. Jeff Nowak dives into what all was said, and what he thinks the real problem is at this point: We need to be honest about Derek Carr’s shortcomings before this offense can be fixed.
