Good morning, happy game week, and welcome to the Saints Insider newsletter for Sept. 6. The Saints open their season Sunday on the road against the Atlanta Falcons, and we've got so much season preview coverage ready for you with a ton more on the way, so let's get to it quickly here. Jameis Winston's 2021 season offered an incomplete picture, but there are some things to take away. I took a detailed look at each of the 161 passes Winston threw last season to try and see where he excelled and where he struggled. Speaking of Winston, columnist Jeff Duncan notes that he understands how much is on the line for him this year. You may have heard that Winston will have a new receiver to throw to, and you may have heard that receiver, Jarvis Landry, grew up not too far from New Orleans. Let our columnist Rod Walker take you deep into Landry's hometown roots. On the defensive side of the ball, Duncan explains why the Saints have their sights set way higher than simply being good. Cam Jordan is entering his 12th NFL season. He's only missed one game that whole time. Beat writer Terrin Waack tries to understand how Jordan became the Saints' iron man. There's so much more on the way this week that we think y'all will be excited to read. Thanks, as always, for your support. Cheers, Luke Johnson |
