The New Orleans Saints connected on a big 87yard touchdown this past weekend up against the New York Giants on a big downfield pass from Spencer Rattler, New Orleans Saints quarterback to wide receiver Rasheed Shahed. And on that play, that could be one that you looked at and you went finally been waiting for that all those other things. But what if I told you that the Saints actually started laying the framework for that very play all the way back in week two up against the San Francisco 49ers. We did a film study for this over with our insiders which you can join by texting Hudat to 5042857473. So you can get in on film studies and exclusive Q&As and much more content. You can also click the link in the description. But I wanted to give you a little bit of a rundown of it here on the show as well. But if you want to see the video with illustrations and all that kind of stuff, that is over with our insider program. The Saints went all the way back, I went all the way back to week two in the NFL. And I found from that point, really all the way back to the first game, but the first one that I found of a example of a 13 personnel first and 10 snap from under center. That’s what the Saints were in during that uh 87 yard touchdown where they motioned Jawan Johnson from one side of the field sort of in this over or across motion but then brought him all the way to the outside then ran that twoman route on the right side of the field and then ended up being able to kind of get some of these you know the play action and then of course getting that big connection downfield to Rashid Shahid done. Uh but if you go all the way back to week two, you’ll find a snap against this San Francisco 49ers. It was 13 personnel. Two tight ends lined up in line or tight to the line of scrimmage. Another tight end in the back field. Remember, even if they’re lined up at fullback, wide receiver, slot receiver, tight end, or quarterback in Taesm Hill’s case, or former case, now that he’s designated a quarterback instead of a tight end, it doesn’t really matter. But for all of these things, no matter where you line up, you’re still considered a tight end when it comes to personnel groupings. And so three tight ends with two at the formation at the line of scrimmage and another in the formation in the backfield is still considered 13 personnel. Three tight ends with one running back and one wide receiver. The Saints used that on a two-yard run early on in the season. Kind of a modest gain. Didn’t really do much with it. Nothing fancy. Just came out in that formation, ran the football. Two weeks later up against the Buffalo Bills, they came out in 13 personnel on first and 10 from under center three times. all three times run. So now we’re four for four for the New Orleans Saints through the first three games of 13 personnel or through the first four games actually. Um 13 personnel first and 10 under center run run all the runs for modest gains two or three yards. Saints mixed in some things that were a little bit different. Sometimes the tandem of tight ends that’s lined up tight to the line of scrimmage was on the field side. Sometimes they were on the boundary side. U to give you a quick explainer on that, typically you start passes or you start plays with the center snapping from the hash marks. It just depends upon where the player was downed the play before. If they’re downed on the right half of the field, you start at the right hash. Same thing happens over on the left hash. If you’re downed in the middle of the field, then you’re at the middle. That’s why sometimes you see like late in games, uh, a quarterback will take a snap and then just fall down in a direction to get the ball on the hash mark that the kicker wants to kick from. Sometimes kickers want to kick from the right hash, left hash. Sometimes they like kicking right down the middle. All those other things. That’s kind of how that works. And so the side where you are taking the snap from, so if you’re on the right hash mark, the right side of the field is considered the boundary side because it’s the closest to the boundary. The left side of the field then would be considered the field side because there’s more field available. So sometimes the two tight ends were lined up on the field side. Sometimes they were lined up on the boundary side. In other cases, they would motion and add some motion to where they’re moving one of those tight ends from one side to the other. Other times, they ran what was called a return motion, which is actually what the Saints did up against the I think it was against the New York Giants earlier in that game. They ended up running another 13 personnel, first and 10, under center. They did it twice before the actual passing play. And again, all six times they ran the football, but there were some variations of the formation. Sometimes there was that return motion. Return motion is when you start crossing as a tight end from or a player from one side of the field to the other side of the field, but then you reverse path and you go back and you return to your original spot on the field. Hence, return motion. Other times earlier on in the game up against the New York Giants, they actually had Taesm Hill in the backfield but not lined up at fullback or, you know, offset or in an offset eye, they ended up having him lined up kind of in the backfield offset from the line of scrimmage. And they ran like a jet motion handoff to him, basically a jet sweep with him. And so the Saints did a couple different things out of this formation. Sometimes Brandon Cooks was the lone receiver, sometimes Chris Albi was a lone receiver, other times Rashida he was a lone receiver. But the one thing that they did six times out of six, 13 personnel, first and 10 under center before they ended up actually throwing the football for an 87 yard touchdown was run the football. The best run that they had was actually earlier in the game against the Giants because they did this twice. 13 personnel first and 10 under center twice against the Giants before they ended up throwing the 87 yard touchdown pass. And that first run was actually a run to the weak side of the formation or actually they changed the strong side and then he was Alvin Ker picked up like 11 yards on that run. So little things that they did there. But one of my other favorite things that they did when it came to the actual play, right, the one in question, the 87 yard touchdown, is that they took Jawan Johnson and instead of motioning him but keeping him in line, they motioned him all the way outside of the wide receiver in Rashid Shahid who was lined up tight to the formation kind of a little bit closer because he was on that on that um that boundary side instead of the field side. And so when they motion Jawan all the way to the outside of the formation, you can see the defense kind of start communicating and all of a sudden they snap the ball and then it’s a play action. You can see the defense trying to communicate again. The Giants defense dropped seven in coverage. because you had Rasheed Jahed and Jawan Johnson running a half field concept on the field side that ended up giving a little bit of an opportunity for both those guys because it lessened the amount of bodies that went over there because you’ll have you’ll sometimes have more over on the field side than the boundary side and so even from the side from which Keller Moore decided to deploy the twoman route concept it was intentional in terms of getting that done and so this was just a really really good example of something that Saints fans should be used to seeing here in New Orleans because Shawn Peyton used to do this all the time that you start building tendencies early on in the season and then break them as the season goes on. And when you break them successfully, sometimes you get these big explosive plays and that’s exactly what Kell Moore did and exactly what the New Orleans Saints did. Even during the game against the Giants, we saw a few Taesm Hill runs and all the formation looked the same. you had three tight ends out there including or you had two tight ends out there with Taesm and then a couple of receivers and they would run the football, run the football, run the football and then when they needed a third and two to be converted then all of a sudden Taesm Hill drops back and throws a 19yd pass to Jawan Johnson. And so you’re seeing it kind of examples of it in game, but then also examples of how it can blend and and and bridge games in terms of creating these tendencies and breaking these tendencies. We talk about the NFL being a chess match, but we don’t just mean a four-arter chess match. It’s a 17game, 18week chess match that you watch evolve and change over time. So, a really good glimpse into the mind of Kell Moore with the way that he built and began to architect plays like that. And I got to tell you, I think Moore is on the way because after that, the Saints continuously came out in 13 personnel on first and 10 under center for the rest of the Giants game. So, I’m excited to see what the Saints do uh moving forward and what the next wrinkle is for that personnel grouping. All right, coming up next, the New Orleans Saints defense has got to prove it up against the New England Patriots. We got that coming up for you next as we continue on with today’s episode of Lockdown Saints, part of Lockdown Podcast Network, your team every day.

That’s fanduel.com. [Music] All right, family. I think one of the biggest things the New Orleans Saints defense in particular has to prove this weekend up against the New England Patriots is that what we saw against the New York Giants was not a fluke. I am not going to take away from the success of the young players that made some big plays for the New Orleans Saints going up against the New York Giants. We have seen over and over again New Orleans Saints def defenses struggle to be opportunistic when there are opportunities that are right there in their hands. You think about some of the dropped interceptions already this year, things like that, even going back to years before, right? the opportunities would present themselves, but not always being able to take advantage of those, whether that be via, you know, pass rush or interceptions, takeaways, fumbles, balls on the ground, whatever it might be. Often times, or a lot of times, they had some chances and weren’t able to take advantage of those. It was great to watch this New Orleans Saints team going up against the New York Giants, even when they were gifted a situation like Jackson Dart just dropping a football and like eight times out of 10 that ball is recovered by the player that fumbled it. and instead Cam Jordan able to get in there and recover. Now, I know Cam Jordan is not one of the young defensive core pieces, but seeing him and Deario Davis obviously set tones and then watching the young guys carry it through is all promising stuff. So, I’m not going to take away from any of that. Kool-Aid McKinry walking away with two interceptions. Um, you know, the the uh obviously the 86-y fumble recovery for a touchdown that went back for Jordan Howden with Kool-Aid McKinry and uh Cam Jordan helping to block downfield. You look at the Yonas Sanker U fumble recovery off the Demario Davis strip. Uh which by the way, one of my favorite things about that was uh NFL Films putting out a clip of it to where Deario Davis caused that fumble. And he gets up and he’s literally asking Darius Sllayton, “Was that me? Was that me? Did I did I rip that out?” And he starts looking around and he’s like asking every he’s asking players, he’s asking referees, “Was that me? Did I do that? Did I do it?” And then finally somebody tells him that he did it. It was great. It was awesome. Um, and so just like seeing that kind of juice, that kind of energy from this New Orleans Saints defense was great and really really good to see. And obviously you’d like to see it start a little bit faster, right? 140 143 hole, not necessarily the way that you want to start off as a defense. surrendering back-to-back touchdowns on the two opening possessions for New York. Obviously not what you want to do as a defense, but coming up with two forced punts and then five consecutive takeaways. Uh pretty really good. Pretty really good. Uh Terrell Burgess was really funny in the locker room. We were talking to him and uh Seth Lewis and I as well as a couple of other folks were talking to him about how you know, hey, you you got five takeaways that and I mentioned that it was five consecutive five in a row and Burgess was like, oh was it? It was five in a row. That’s crazy. Oh, wow. Five in a row. Really? Oh, okay. Yeah. Five in a row. Hold on. And it just like it clicked. Like he clocked that it was five in a row, but then it didn’t surprise him until slightly later. It was a really really funny video. Uh, but it’s it’s stuff like that that you want to see more of from the New Orleans Saints and that you want to see more of for this New Orleans Saints defense is to be surprised even by their own achievements. And last week was an achievement. Five consecutive takeaways. The first time that that’s happened in the NFL since 2016. first time that it’s happened for the New Orleans Saints since 1991. And we know how good that defense was. That defense actually did it twice in that season. And so now going into this follow-up game up against the New England Patriots who have seven turnovers, giveaways already this season to six takeaways. So their their turnover margin is minus one. They’re on the right side of the margin for an opportunistic defense. and they’re going to need to take the football away and get the football back to this to this Saints offense because uh you’ve got Stefon Diggs over on the other side. You’ve got Raandre Stevenson who has shown a little bit of an issue holding on to the football. So maybe something that the Saints can take advantage of, but you also have the player that at one point this season had the highest completion percentage in the NFL at 74% with quarterback Drake May with the New England Patriots. And so opportunities have to will present themselves and the Saints will have to make good on those opportunities in order to get the ball back to their offense and allow them to be able to try to control this game as best as they can. Uh this is going to be a big one for this New Orleans Saints defense. So now what they want to prove is that they are indeed takeaway machines more than the New York Giants are giveaway machines. You like that line? I wrote it over at Louisiana Sports.net. I was very proud of it. Mentioned it on my uh my pod with Nick Underh Hill as well. I love that line. Uh, but being able to do things like that, I mean, that’s going to be a big part of not just this game against the New England Patriots, but just in terms of making a statement in terms of what your defense is moving forward. You like to see the Saints do a couple different things uh really all across, right? They got to they got to stop letting up so much pressure on the offensive side of the ball. They got to get better in the red zone. Um, you know, you want to keep those takeaways going. You want to be a better pressure defense, too. Only 28%. I think that’s 29th or 30th in the league right now, depending upon whose numbers you’re looking at. Different analytics groups site or qualify pressures differently. X many yards away from a quarterback requires a reaction from the quarterback doesn’t require reaction from quarterback. Everybody kind of looks at a little bit differently. But all told, that’s another place where the Saints could stand to get a little bit better. And if you get the pass rush cooking a little bit more, then that goes back to our original point of being able to build up those takeaways. Because if you can get the pass rush cooking and you can get quarterbacks off balance a little bit, making bad decisions, throwing bad balls, all those other things, then you have those opportunities present themselves that you can try to take advantage of over on the defensive side in the back end on the secondary. And so with Kool-Aid McKenry and uh Alante Taylor and base reps on the outside, Alante Taylor moves inside during nickel reps. You get rookie Quincy Riley out there, you got rookie Jonas Sanker, and we’ll see if Justin Reed is back in time. He is in concussion protocol. If not, Jordan Hen played a solid game last week. But now you’re going up against a really, really good wide receiver. A really, really good wide receiver. These last two weeks, you’ve gone up against okay wide receiver groups. The Buffalo Bills wide receiver groups not great. The um New York Giants wide receiver group is good with is great when they’ve got Malik Neighbors is not when they don’t. Right. So, they were missing a big key piece. And so now going up against Stefon Diggs and this otherwise okay wide receiver group in New England, it’s a perfect example of you figuring out just how much you’re able to maybe get done. Like what is your ability to produce against an okay group but also stand up to a starle player in Stefon Diggs. And so this will be a big time pro game I think for the New Orleans Saints defense and in particular their secondary amongst those young players. if they can come back and start making plays again, it doesn’t mean that they have to get five takeaways in a row all over again, but if they can walk away with two or three takeaways, you’re going to feel a lot better about this New Orleans Saints defense. And if the Saints defense is able to also keep points off the board as a whole, I think that’s the other thing that you end up looking at and going, “Okay, cool.” Like the light at the end of the tunnel is getting a little bit brighter and a little bit brighter and a little bit brighter. I can start to see the turn now where it starts to happen. I I don’t know that the Saints necessarily found that last week. I think they found it in the game, but as we talked about before, I don’t know if they necessarily found that for their season, right? We’re not talking about this New Orleans Saints team as anything other than they are still, which is a rebuilding team that’s trying to figure out its quarterback position, trying to evaluate some of its young players, and it’s probably in for a rough season. And so, this week, massive, massive for the New Orleans Saints defense to prove what’s real and uh what might have just been a fluke. And they’d like to show you, of course, that it’s all real. Coming up next, the New Orleans Saints added a veteran corner in Michael Davis, somebody very familiar with Brandon Staley, but it actually kind of says that there’s going to be a lot more opportunities for the young players in the secondary, even though they added a veteran. Let’s get to that next as we continue on with today’s episode of Locked On Saints, put on Podcast Network, your team every day.

The headline of which being the signing of 8-year or eighth year uh veteran quarterback Michael Davis. But don’t worry, this probably won’t take any playing time away from young players. In fact, it could mean that more is on the way. Hey, we appreciate you very much for being here with us. Don’t forget to like, subscribe, follow, share, all that good stuff here to help support the show. Uh, the Saints coming off their first win. People are very excited about all that. So, make sure your Saints fans and your fellow Saints fans can find us here as we produce every single Monday through Friday and then some on Locked on at Saints. Uh, and of course the uh you can catch us every single Monday through Friday at 10 a.m. over on the GF Coast Sports and Entertainment Network. All right. So, the Saints signed Michael Davis amidst a flurry of other moves, which we’ll get to here in a moment, including uh a a wave that I think is important to highlight. But the the signing of Michael Davis was one that maybe had some people asking questions like, is there an injury that the Saints need to be concerned about with one of their young guys? Do you go and sign a guy like Michael Davis who’s got eight year he’s going he’s in his eighth year in the NFL. He has a big time connection with Brandon Staley. He was in Brandon Sy’s defense from 2021 through 2023 while Brandon Sy was the head coach of the Los Angeles Chargers. 37 of his career of his 70 career pass breakups or passes defense rather uh all came during those three years with Brandon Sale. He’s got seven or eight interceptions on his career, eight interceptions on his career as well. So, do you put this guy on the field? Probably not. If I’m being honest, I I think that this might be a little bit more tied to Isaac Yadams injury. He had that hamstring injury that took place Wednesday during practice. It kept him out of Sunday’s game, allowed the team to go out there and start Quincy Riley, who uh appeared for 37 coverage snaps, 54 total defensive snaps. He was targeted four times, allowed just one catch, and had only and that catch only went for seven yards. Now again, that was up against a subpar New York Giants uh wide receiver group, but you still saw some really promising things from Quincy Riley and especially what he can do coming down and run support, helping out there. He does a lot of the finer things that you look for. Finer things club, anybody office fans? Uh but he does a lot of the finer things that you look for for a player in the secondary and in particular a young cornerback as well. I mean, having a guy that can cover and take the football away is one thing, but having a guy that can tackle cover and take the football away is a whole different ballgame. And that’s where Quincy Riley seems to be. And so, I don’t think that this means that you’re going to see Michael Davis starting over Quincy Riley with Koulie McKinstry on the outside and then, you know, Elante Taylor in the slot or even Michael Davis starting over Alante Taylor when Elante Taylor was on the outside. I thought Taylor had a really strong game Sunday up against the New York Giants as well. But I think that what this really means is that whatever is going on with Isaac Yadam is likely to potentially keep him out for another week. And so because of that, and again, hamstring injuries are always a win, not if. So you’re always really cautious about those. And so adding a guy like Michael Davis, just make sure you have the quarterback numbers, right? Right. You got Rajan, right? You’ve got, you know, other, you know, those other corners that we’ve already named, but now you might want that other guy in the room. And that’s where I think a Michael Davis can certainly be helpful. And to have somebody in the room that has played under uh Brandon Staley as a defensive play caller, I think is incredibly valuable for these young defenders, too, that are still adjusting to their new scheme. I think that’s going to be really, really important for the entire secondary, but particularly, of course, at the cornerback position. So, I think those are kind of the reasons why you go after Michael Davis and you bring him in. I don’t think this is my early early, I would say, assumption more than it is a sourced piece of information or anything like that, but I just don’t think that the Saints are going to, you know, start benching any of their young guys any anytime soon, especially when none of them have done anything worthy of being benched for. So, uh, we’ll see where things go, but I think it’s got more to do with Isaac Adam than it has to do with any of the young players. uh to highlight the rest of the roster moves that the Saints made in order to make room for uh Michael Davis on the roster. They moved on from running back and kick returner Vis Jones Jr. We’re going to circle back to that here in a little bit. They added two players to their uh practice squad, Ronnie Bell, the veteran wide receiver, as well as rookie tight end, seventh round pick Maliki Matava, who we expected would be back uh here in New Orleans after he was waved earlier this week to make room for Taesm and and Foster and all that. Uh, but the Saints also terminated three practice squad contracts. It’s key to remember that number. Three practice squad contracts. Defensive end Garrett Nelson was had his contract terminated as well as tackle um I think it’s Sata Lameo, but I’m not sure. So, I’m sorry if I screwed that up. And then wide receiver Tommy Malot. Um, those three have been moved on from, but only two have been added, Bell and Matava. And so now Vis Jones Jr. pretty clearly has a path back to the team via the practice squad as the Saints have 16 of their possible 17 spots filled knowing that Charlie Smith has an international exemption and therefore doesn’t count against the 16-man roster on the practice squad there. So that’s kind of what I’m expecting is that Vis Jones Jr. will clear waiverss and then come back to New Orleans. He’s averaged just barely over 22 yards per kick return. Hasn’t really gotten involved in the run game. So, I would expect that before the Saints put like Taesm Hill or Rasheed Shahed back on kick return duties, uh, that they’ll probably bring Baylor Jones Jr. back and then they have three weeks to elevate him and then probably move him back to the active roster once the health reestablishes and you don’t need the veteran corner anymore because you have Isaac Adam back or whatever the decision is that’s made there or at some other position. I think very quickly these things, you know, they they all kind of work themselves out, but I don’t expect Vis Jones Jr. be headed anywhere else very quickly, though. We’ll see. I’m just saying I wouldn’t be surprised to see him back on the practice squad is kind of the way that I I I would see this going uh for him. So, and and you certainly love to see the kick return unit be a little bit more effective. I think that Kendra Miller has had some really nice returns, but Fail Shr definitely want to be seeing a little bit more from him in that area of the game. So, um those are the roster moves that we’ve seen. I I don’t think you’re going to see young guys in the secondary losing playing time, but it just kind of makes sense. Oh, and with Garrett Nelson being waved. We’ll see what that means. We’ll see. We’ll see. We’ll see when it comes down to um everything going on with Chase Young. So, we’ll see what happens there. All right. Coming up in tomorrow’s episode, Crossover Thursday, Nick Cattle’s locked on Patriots tonight. We’ll break it all down for you.

Kellen Moore’s offensive genius shines as the New Orleans Saints execute a masterful 87-yard touchdown play. This strategic evolution showcases the NFL’s chess-like nature, with Moore building tendencies over weeks before striking gold.

The Saints defense aims to prove their five consecutive takeaways against the New York Giants weren’t a fluke. They’ll face a tougher test in the New England Patriots, with young talents like Kool-Aid McKinstry and Alontae Taylor under the microscope.

Veteran cornerback Michael Davis joins the Saints, unlikely to impact the playing time for the secondary’s rising stars. This move, along with other roster adjustments, signals a focus on depth and experience in the defensive backfield.

  1. What was impressive about that play was Spencer Rattler's pre-snap play recognition. The defense showed man zone coverage, once the WR went in motion.

  2. Giants fans are still talking about the big play and the takeaways meanwhile Philly fans are about beating the Giants Thursday night🤔

  3. Before the season started, the Rattler haters were saying , “he’s a gunslinger, he’ll turn the ball over, he holds the ball too long, he’ll take too many sacks”… Now, he’s too conservative, he doesn’t push the ball downfield… the man can’t win for losing…

  4. I’m glad we won but we got Lucky . We are Terrible in the Red Zone. Special Teams are atrocious ! The Offensive Line is not doing well at all ! Grupe should be replaced . Burgess and Brazee made the Winning Plays otherwise we lose ! Rattler is improving but needs to get better at throwing to the End Zone when in the Red Zone ! With better execution we could be 3-2 instead of 1-4 ! We’ll see how good we are this weekend ! It is awesome seeing you do so many shows ! You’ve come a long way Ross ! Great Job !

  5. As much as I like Rattler – if he doesn’t win this weekend then it’s time to give Shough a try. Who knows he could be the next Mahomes or the next Justin Fields. Gotta find out

  6. Pete Werner somehow dropped from 108/125 LBs to 120/132 active LBs. we didn’t even hear his name. Lol

    Can we put a vending machine out there!? Pick up Isiah Land off Cowboys practice squad & give him some action…

    Hell, if Cesar Ruiz is back & healthy. Lord knows he can’t block anything. Maybe he can QB Spy. He should def know how to avoid being blocked. He gets to see that upclose every down of every game.

  7. Rattler has the 17th best Passer rating in the league, literally better than half the league’s QB and there still people in these chats that think he’s the issue.

  8. The key move on Rashid's 87-yard TD was when he got the DB to turn his back to the QB. Spencer threw it at that moment… DB was lost. Rashid is like a Cheetah once he gets going.

  9. I still thinking that Moore is developing Rattler! Short intermittent passes. Quick reads, and every once and a while a big one over the top. I like Rattler we'll see! 💪⚜️
