There were reasons to be optimistic and reasons to be concerned after the first game of the Coach Kellen Moore era that resulted in a 20-13 loss for the New Orleans Saints to Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals. And what do we think of the play of quarterback Spencer Rattler?

Host Jim Derry has his first “Derry’s Dime” of the new season, and the Dat Family speaks their mind on another “Mano E Monday” edition of the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 412) presented by Evangeline Securities. Jim also gets into social media experts ripping into tight end Juwan Johnson and the breaking news Monday morning that safety Julian Blackmon could be out for the season.

On the LSU and Tulane front, both teams played what could be considered letdown performances in wins against inferior opponents, but they have little time to figure it out with tougher games this week against Florida and Duke, respectively. Gabe Henderson has his thoughts on the weekend, including what the Tigers must do to improve.
