Good morning, and welcome to the Saints Insider newsletter for Wednesday, Sept. 21. Tuesday is an off day for the Saints players, a game-plan day for the Saints coaches and the final day of review for our coverage team before turning the page to the Saints' next game. You might not want to relive the Saints' disappointing 20-10 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but you might be interested in learning more about how and why it happened. Beat writer Luke Johnson takes us through each big play in the head-spinning fourth-quarter implosion. As Johnson writes: The Saints "went from driving for the go-ahead score to trailing by three scores, as Tampa Bay turned the four turnovers into 17 points." Meanwhile, one former Saints star is a first-year-eligible candidate for the Pro Football Hall of Fame's Class of 2023. He's trying to become the first Saints player from the club's 2009 Super Bowl team to gain induction into the Hall. Our story on the preliminary list of candidates for the Hall's Class of 2023. That's all for today. Our coverage will ramp up Wednesday as the Saints return to practice in preparation for their Week 3 game against the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte, N.C. on Sunday. Thanks for your support. Until next time, Jeff Duncan |
