The Saints knocked off the Cardinals and started their preseason on a high note. Here's a few things we learned and some insight from the game.
The Saints got their 2024 off to a pretty good start, even if was preseason action, as they were able to put together a game-winning drive to knock off the Cardinals 16-13. New Orleans obviously has plenty of improvements that need to be made, but their first outing gave us plenty to talk about and break down. Here's a few things that stood out from their win.New Orleans Saints players celebrate after kicker Charlie Smyth kicked the game-winning field goal during a preseason game on Aug.
Jake Haener showed a couple of us a picture from his surgery with a 2-centimeter hole in his face. He had to get 32 stitches and wasn't going to miss the game. He wasn't supposed to practice this week. Everything we were told regarding his procedure is positive news, and there's no nerve damage. I was encouraged by what we saw out of Taliese Fuaga, but the inconsistency with Trevor Penning is unsettling. The Saints have to get this spot right, as well as left guard.
The team came out relatively okay on the injury front, but there's a few players we'll want to keep some tabs on like Dallin Holker, Niko Lalos and Isaiah Stalbird. When we take attendance on Sunday for Day 14 of training camp, we'll be watching.New Orleans Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler reaches for the pylon while being tackled by Arizona Cardinals safety Darren Hall during a preseason game on Aug. 10, 2024 at State Farm Stadium in Glendale.
