NewOrleans.Football: Saints Podcast

Nick Underhill and Mike Triplett debate what would count as real progress for the Saints: winning the NFC South and hosting a playoff game, narrowly missing out with a better draft pick, or seeing the team build something sustainable.

They revisit the win over Cleveland, the run game and what Kellen Moore still needs to prove. Then they examine Tyler Shough after 17 starts, where he fits among NFL quarterbacks, the importance of the Carolina game, and whether the Saints handled the trade deadline the right way.
