With a new QB, offense, defense and head coach, the New Orleans seem to have close margins for a successful season in 2025.
What would help this cause – and could be essential – is to find high -end elite performance on special teams, especially both the placekicker and the bettor, as Deuce McAlister explained on Wednesday on Sporttalk.
“This team must be the elite in the kick game, from the point of view of speaking as well as kicks, an additional point, a point of view of the coverage, this team – it cannot be average,” said Deuce.

And after looking at the first two days of mini-caps practices of the saints, this certainly seems possible. The third year botter Blake Grupe went 6-in-6 on Tuesday with a comfortable brand from 61. Another competitor for the post at Charlie Smyth went 5 for 6 Wednesday, also with a brand of 61 which knew about 3/4 from the end of goal stations. His miss was pushed to the right at 49 meters.
The other side of the equation is on the bettor with the return of Matt Hayball and the UDFA James Burnip, which launched for the first time in front of the media on Wednesday. Alabama’s product seems to have more than one foliar leg that the saints have had in recent years, but Deucce has been looking a little more.
“The old rule was that you are inside the 20th, it is the old rules. If it is not 10 and inside, and out of 12 opportunities, you hit one of the three, it is not good enough,” said Deuce, “and I did not blame myself and I would not put it there. Looking at right, yesterday, they were not inside 10.”
No more deule
Do you see Chris Olave as an WR1 elite?
“There are not many Ja’marr and Jeffers prosecution in the world. … So you probably have three guys, maybe four who are at this level of level. I would always have Chris in my second level of very good receivers.… Now the other thing is how you use. Mix, because it is not his game, but if you can give it as regards the slit, outside, you know, be able to execute routes, just a play of legs for the routes, he can give you that all day and I think, you know, use it in different ways, because the eyes – attention goes for him. that.”
Should Rashid Shaheed be the main man back?
“He is not full of time for me. I cannot hold it back there full time until a turner. If I have no one who can go back and catch the ball, you don’t have to turn it over. In certain situations, if I know that I do not try to return this clearance of clearance, I do not need you to catch the ball. Good amount – I want it in attack.
