Happy Friday. Welcome to the Saints Insider newsletter for Aug. 26. There’s a game today as the Saints play their final preseason game. This one is in the Caesars Superdome against the Los Angeles Chargers. It's a crucial game for some players trying to make their way onto the team’s 53-man roster. One of those players is former Destrehan High standout Kirk Merritt, who last played a game in the Dome in 2014 during his senior year of high school. The stakes are much higher this time around. Here’s a story on Merritt and why this game is so big for him. Luke Johnson breaks down the 4 things to look for in Friday’s game. Also in Saints’ news, owner Gayle Benson purchased the site of Chris Owens’ Bourbon Street club. That's it for today. Make sure to check our website tonight during the game as we give you all the action inside the Superdome.. Thanks as always for your loyal support and readership. Until next time, Rod Walker |
