Podcast appearances and mentions of Demario Davis

The New Orleans Saints defense has been outstanding so far this season, led by the remarkable performance of cornerback Marshon Lattimore. Not only was his performance in Sunday's win against the Washington Football Team impressive, but it's a continuation of the remarkable production he's displayed in season action so far. With a league-leading 10 pass break ups, 11 forced incompletions, and a whopping 39% forced incompletion percentage, is Marshon Lattimore putting up a defensive Player of the Year bid early this season? How the New Orleans Saints have been evolving their offensive attack so far this season and how personnel usage, pass, and run percentages tell us what we need to know and how the return of players like Michael Thomas, Tre'Quan Smith, and even Nick Vannett in. The Saints are first and ted first in two major categories on the offensive and defensive side that immediately complement one another and have immediately led to their three wins. While their offensive efficiency currently remains along the middle of the league, there are some good signs for a continued climb as the team gets healthier while Marcus Williams, Demario Davis, and rest of the Saints defense continue to surpass expectations.

The Washington Football Team (2-2) play host to the unpredictable New Orleans Saints (2-2) this Sunday at 1pm on CBS, led by QB Jameis Winston and superstar RB Alvin Kamara. We begin with a general overview of the New Orleans Saints and the 4 games they have played so far. They beat the Green Bay Packers and New England Patriots, but fell to the Carolina Panthers and New York Giants. What can we expect from them this Sunday? How about the rest of the season? We discuss Jameis Winston, Alvin Kamara, Demario Davis, Deonte Harris, Marshon Lattimore, Marcus Williams and more! (2:10 - 5:59)Then we quickly jump into the injury report, where our Washington Football Team is hurting BADLY. We may be without Dyami Brown, Curtis Samuel and Cam Sims in our WR corps. Add the fact that Logan Thomas is missing the game, and Taylor Heinicke is suddenly in a new position of having to ball out without his usual weapons. Brandon Scherff has also missed 2 straight practices. On the flip side, the New Orleans Saints could be without their starting center, Erik McCoy, and left tackle, Terron Armstead, for the 2nd straight game. Can we take advantage of that? (6:00 - 7:35)We transition into the WFT defense vs the New Orleans offense. Jameis Winston is balling with 3 games over a 110 passer rating and is 4th in the NFL in QBR, but did you know that the Saints lead the league in rush play percentage at 58%? That means it is critical we stop Alvin Kamara, who is receiving career high carries by the week. Will the defense finally wake up?? (7:36 - 15:19)Flipping sides to the WFT offense vs the New Orleans defense. Taylor Heinicke has been nothing short of spectacular this season. From backup QB to legitimate starter, what does he need to do to help us win this game? Will we be able to run the ball on the Saints? They are 3rd in the NFL in yards allowed per attempt on the ground. (15:20 - 29:22)We have a guest on the podcast this week, Thomas Carter (@Carter4Mayor), who went 15/15 on his parlay picks and turned $11 into over $50,000! He walks us through the emotional rollercoaster ride of the parlay, whether he thought about hedging his bets, and what it was like rooting for the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football. (31:32 - 35:49)We conclude the episode by giving you our game prediction (29:23 - 31:31), as well as all of our NFL week 5 picks! (35:50 - end)

The New Orleans Saints, led by Jameis Winston and Alvin Kamara will look to find balance in their offense as they travel to Landover, MD to take on the Washington Football team and young quarterback Taylor Heinicke. A matchup for the ages could come to light with former Ohio State Buckeyes cornerback Marshon Lattimore and wide receiver Terry McLaurin face off while the WFT offense fights off injuries all over their skill position areas. Sean Payton and the New Orleans Saints offense will look to maintain their aggression, get ahead early, and stay ahead after an uncharacteristic fold against the New York Giants last weekend. Demario Davis and the Saints defense will look for a bounce back performance at FedEx Field.

Jameis Winston put some good tape up as the New Orleans Saints dropped their Sunday home-opener tot he New York Giants. Throwing players open, hitting downfield receivers in stride, and showing improvement with ball placement. While Tre'Quan Smith and Michael Thomas reportedly look good to return soon according to WR Coach Curtis Johnson, it will likely not happen until after the bye week. But there are some indications that the passing game can hit its stride before then, if the opportunities are given. Rookie linebacker Pete Werner had a great game against the Giants. Despite the loss, he put together several plays that stood out and show that he's a viable option next to Demario Davis until Kwon Alexander returns. Tony Jones Jr will miss 3-4 weeks with his injury, in the meanwhile Devine Ozigbo makes his return to the Crescent City. The Saints also moved on from kicker Aldrick Rosas, signing Cody Parkey as his replacement. WWL-TV Sports Director Doug Mouton joins to discuss what went wrong against the New York Giants, the return to the Superdome, and what has to go right in Washington against the Washington Football Team next weekend.

The New Orleans Saints and Sean Payton receiving criticism for play calling in 27-21 overtime loss to the New York Giants. Jameis Winston and the Saints passing attack looked to be meshing well until one key decision, followed by a curious drought, set up a turning point. Meanwhile, the Saints defense struggled when it mattered most, allowing over 200 passing yards to Daniel Jones and company in the fourth quarter and lone OT possession. Demario Davis, Cameron Jordan, and Malcolm Jenkins all took on accountability for the defense's woes, but there were struggles all over as the game closed out. What needs to shift for the Saints and why is it important to do so sooner rather than later? The Washington Football Team could make things challenging for the gauntlet that awaits the Saints after the bye week. Follow & Subscribe to the Locked On Saints Podcast on these platforms… 

Alvin Kamara should have a feature role on offense helping move the ball up and down the field through both the run and passing game. Meanwhile the passing game and Jameis Winston have a golden opportunity to pick up the pace against the weakened Giants offense. Keep a keen eye on Cesar Ruiz now that Will Clapp is off of IR, as well as Calvin Throckmorton and James Hurst who will be debuting in place of the injure Terron Armstead. Can the receivers get going against the Giants secondary? And will the Saints defense continue to impress? The most important player on the defensive side in this game will be Demario Davis as he QBs the top-6 defense waiting to match up with a hampered Giants passing attack and offensive line. Meanwhile, Adam Trautman could have a key role in the success fo the team on Sunday.As well the New Orleans Saints fanbase as Who Dat Nation will be in full effect at the Caesars Superdome.

The New Orleans Saints and star running back Alvin Kamara should present a very tough matchup for the New York Giants this weekend. After losing LB Blake Martinez for the season, the Giants may have no answer for how to defend Kamara, particularly in the passing game. The task doesn't get much easier for the Giants on the other side of the ball as they deal with two hamstring injuries for WRs Darius Slayton and Sterling Shephard. The Saints' defense has been on fire to start of the season allowing only 14 points per game and ranking third against the run. If New Orleans shuts down Saquon Barkley, the Giants might have to rely on QB Daniel Jones and the hampered air attack against Marshon Lattimore, Demario Davis, Marcus Williams and the rest of a talented Saints defense. And they'd have to do so while the Saints get their of a full-capacity Caesars Superdome as well. The first of which since January of 2020.

The New Orleans Saints have yet to pass for more than 200 yards through the air. But fans shouldn't be concerned about the production thus far. Jameis Winston, Marquez Callaway, and the Saints offensive line need time to settle in. With reps will come trust, cohesion, and most important of all, timing. The Saints defense is the real deal. Ranking top-ten or top-five in many important statistical categories, the unit is operating much better than expected led by some impressive individual performances. Marshon Lattimore is the highest ranked cornerback by Pro Football Focus, Demario Davis is playing like the best defender in football, the defensive line is putting pressure on opposing quarterbacks, and the team is tied at the top of the league in turnover differential. Topped off by excellent safety play and impressive rookie debuts, the Saints defense can take their team a long way. Doug Mouton of WWL-TV joins the show to break down why the Saints passing attack woes shouldn't be of tremendous concern thanks to their run game and defense. Doug also highlights what to expect from the Saints as they host the Giants on Sunday and how a packed Caesars Superdome impacts the team's first full-capacity home game since January of 2020.

The New Orleans Saints claimed a statement win in Foxborough against the New England Patriots, but lost a yet another key player for extended time after star tackle Terron Armstead suffered an elbow injury. Armstead is expected to miss three to six weeks and thus could go to injured reserve. Expect James Hurst to step into his role in his stead. While the Saints may be adding another name to IR, five players are now eligible to return, depending on their injury recovery. Wil Lutz and Tre'Quan Smith could be two important players making their way back to the active roster in the coming weeks. Nick Vannet, Will Clapp, and Ken Crawley could all be of great value as well. The Saints are finally back in the Big Easy and excited to get back to their long-awaited Caesars Superdome opener. This will be the first fully-attended New Orleans Saints game since the January 5th, 2020 playoff exit against the Minnesota Vikings. The Who Dat Nation is ready to make some noise and a top-5 NFL defense will be ready for their help. The Saints knocked the Patriots down some key efficiency rankings on the offensive side. However, the Saints and Giants are evenly matched on offensive efficiency so for this season. The difference? The Saints will be facing the Giants 28th ranked defense in terms of efficiency while New York may struggle to topple the 2nd ranked unit in New Orleans. This could be a good opportunity for the Saints offense to kick into gear. But the biggest reason for this highly ranked Saints team comes down to the stars on the defense. Marshon Lattimore, Demario Davis, Marcus Williams, and others have led the way to start the season allowing only 14 points per game.

The New Orleans Saints embrace their new identity in bounce-back win against the New England Patriots on the road. Getting back key contributors on defense like Marshon Lattimore, C.J. Gardner-Johnson, and Tanoh Kpassagnon payed dividends for the Saints as they piled on 11 QB hits, two sacks, and three interceptions. The stars of this game weren't limited to the defense though with 100+ scrimmage yards from Alvin Kamara in a ground attack that proved relentless against the Patriots front seven. The Saints pulled together a key drive late to put the game away before. game-sealing interception erased a possible late score. On today's Locked On Saints, host Ross Jackson breaks down the biggest moments and key contributors, hands out gameballs for each phase of the game, and dives into the Saints' new identity and why they should continue to embrace it as the teams gets healthier and more in-rhythm as the season progresses.

Marshon Lattimore, Erik McCoy, Marcus Davenport, Tanoh Kpassagnon, Kwon Alexander, C.J. Gardner-Johnson and more are all facing injuries on the player side. Not including the Sean Payton being down several members of his coaching staff.

Today's Locked On Saints breaks down the intricacies and large changes you'll see with Jameis Winston leading the New Orleans Saints offense. Will it be perfect? Probably not. But will it be exciting? Sure looks like it. Jameis Winston's role will be much different than Drew Brees's which affects the players around him. Erik McCoy making protection calls, Alvin Kamara perhaps more involved from the slot, and lots of play action, which asks more of the offensive line. Breaking it all down from a procedural vantage point to start the show. Then, looking at three major route concepts used in Sean Payton's offense and how they will look different not just with Jameis Winston but with Marquez Callaway, Tre'Quan Smith, and Deonte Harris. And soon with Michael Thomas. Then, host Ross Jackson closes out the show with a look at five storylines to watch before Week 1 against the Green Bay Packers. What will happen with Marshon Lattimore and Deonte Harris to start the season? Who will line up next to Demario Davis at linebacker? Will we get a look at a fully improved Jameis Winston? Five questions to we all seek the answers to as the Saints get ready for Week 1 NFL action. Follow Ross on Twitter @RossJacksonNOLA Important Links and how to help those affected by Hurricane Ida.

The New Orleans Saints and Green Bay Packers will play their game in Jacksonville, FL following the impact of Hurricane Ida in the Gulf Region. In preparing for that matchup, the Saints have already begun to shuffle their roster and fill out their practice squad. Jim Trotter of NFL.com and NFL Network joins to talk about the Saints' decision to start Jameis Winston as their 2021 quarterback, why Taysom Hill deserves some love, and what the Saints will look like with Jameis under center. Jim also just can't understand why people expect the New Orleans Saints to fall off this year with all of the talent still on the roster including the leadership and all-pro level play of linebacker Demario Davis, the rising star Marquez Callaway, and one of the NFL's best in Alvin Kamara.

Saints linebacker talks training camp, QB1, and more. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Camp Day 16 notes have some standout performances from new and returning players. Newly signed WR Kevin White catches a touchdown pass in his first day, Tre'Quan Smith makes several plays in his return, and Marcus Williams walks off with another camp interception. Meanwhile, each Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill continue their up and down performances. The New Orleans Saints will have some tough decisions to make as they are set to make another five-player cut after Monday's matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. But the next week, they'll be looking to get down to the regular season 53-man roster. On the offensive side, Tony Jones Jr. threatens veteran running backs Latavius Murray and Devonta Freeman for a spot. The wide receiver room continues to shed players and add new players. Kevin White tries to revitalize his career with Sean Payton. On the defensive side, the Saints' linebacker unit has gone from massive concern to one of the team's most solid units. Chase Hansen and Andrew Dowell fight for spots behind Demario Davis, Kwon Alexander, Zack Baun and more. Meanwhile the cornerback spot opposite Marshon Lattimore still hangs in the balance. Ken Crawley and Paulson Adebo look like the most logical choices, however new faces and young players still need to fill out the depth. The interior defensive line took some bumps and bruises over the offseason, and the players that are filling the gap are only partially those we expected as Jalen Dalton and Christian Ringo continue to ascend and Shy Tuttle heads down the camp depth chart.

Breaking down the New Orleans Saints first unofficial depth chart released ahead of their first NFL preseason matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. The early, unofficial poll positions give some idea of what the Saints preseason roster could look like. Starting with the offensive skill positions, no decisions yet at quarterback, Taysom Hill and Jameis Winston still yet to be named Saturday's starter. Wide receiver, running back, and right end have some interesting nuances including where Juwan Johnson is listed among the big pass-catchers. When it comes to the trenches, there are very few surprises on the offensive line with one of the top units in the NFL. However, the interior defensive line has generated much curiosity over the offseason, and this depth chart is no exception with the placement of Shy Tuttle. On the defense, some of the biggest questions are looming. Who will start next to Demario Davis? How soon will Kwon Alexander be healthy and can he eclipse the young talent that's stood out on Airline Drive? And of course, which corner will start next to Marshon Lattimore? A quick look at the depth chart gives you a good idea of what's expected at corner with Paulson Adebo, Brian Poole, Prince Amukamara, and Ken Crawley all as options unless another corner is added before the regular season begins.

As the first phase of New Orleans Saints training camp wraps up, the focus turns to game prep before the first preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens! It's time to update the Saints' 53-man roster projections based upon what we've seen at camp so far. Even though the starting quarterback spot is still open between Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill, the third QB role seems to be sewn up. Devonte Freeman adds another layer to the offense as a back who can mimic some of Alvin Kamara's abilities in the pass-catching game, but with limited roster space, he'll have to impress to steal a spot. And the top two wide receiver positions without Michael Thomas and potentially Deonte Harris look to be settled, even with one wideout missing time in camp The New Orleans Saints and head coach Sean Payton have always believed that NFL games are won in the trenches. The starting five offensive lineman in the NFL may make up one of the best units in the league, but big questions marks surround the defensive interior after the offseason departure of Sheldon Rankins and the suspension of David Onyemata. On the defensive side, Kwon Alexander makes his return to claim his spot beside Demario Davis in the second level, but young linebackers Pete Werner and Zack Baun have stood out in camp. Meanwhile, the cornerback position may not be complete yet with Marshon Lattimore facing a potential suspension. Who looks ready to claim a roster spot before the preseason?

Taysom Hill and Jameis Winston are set to battle it out in New Orleans Saints Training Camp for the right to be Drew Brees's successor. Taysom Hill has gotten the early first team reps over the first two days of camp, but Jameis Winston is set to rotate in soon. both quarterbacks have been efficient but mechanics, passing depth, decision-making and much more continue to be under a microscope as the Saints look for their starting QB ahead of the 2021 NFL season. On the defensive side, Patrick Robinson looks to be ahead at the second cornerback spot opposite Marshon Lattimore, meanwhile the newly signed Brian Poole takes on a key depth role. The linebackers Zack Baun and Pete Werner continue to rotate next to Demario Davis and the defensive line is already producing some standouts including Noah Spence and an early look at first-round draft pick Payton Turner. As Saints camp continues, pads are set to come on at the top of next week. On Saturday, they'll be back in helmets and shells with fans expected to be in attendance. Some veterans are already starting to stand out, including newly signed wide receiver Chris Hogan, but which experienced player will continue to separate themselves as the young guys get their bearings?

The New Orleans Saints have double-digit linebackers heading into camp ahead of the 2021 NFL season. Along with Demario Davis, the returning players may have an advantage, but a couple of new faces could fight their way on to the roster themselves. Who's departed, who's been added, and who returns to the second level of the Saints' defense. Behind Demario Davis are a lot of young and talented 'backers. Which will fill out the Saints' roster as we preview the position before training camp. Rookie Pete Werner and second-year player Zack Baun feel like locks. Could Kaden Elliss take on the top special teams role vacated by Craig Robertson? Will Kwon Alexander make a return? Who will be the biggest surprises at this position?

On today's Locked On Saints, it's time to break down the New Orleans Saints two NFL Draft selections from day two. Peter Werner brings versatility, toughness, and tools to the Saints' linebacker competition with a chance to earn a spot playing next to Demario Davis. What you need to know about Werner and what he brings to the Big Easy. The Saints also took a Locked On Saints favorite in Stanford cornerback Paulson Adebo. The former receiver packs a ton of talent and potential, but will he be able to contribute immediately after sitting 2020 out? New Orleans doesn't feel like they're done at corner, with the possibility of doubling up in the draft or heading back to free agency. Looking ahead to NFL Draft day three. Who are some of the best names remaining at positions the Saints should consider and whether or not the Saints should remain aggressive and continue to pursue their trade ups.

Demario Davis es el stud más grande de la defensiva junto con Marcus Williams que es destacado por Diego como el mejor S contra el juego terrestre. Michael Thomas y Deonte Harris, la dupla ideal para liderar la ofensiva. Alvin Kamara es un stud y Diego le pide a Sean Payton que le de la titularidad a Jameis Winston. Diego revela ciertas verdades y muchas cosas más. Puedes seguir a Diego en su nueva cuenta @lozdieff

The New Orleans Saints signed tight end Nick Vannett, a blocking tight end that might be able to hold up the role of the departed Josh Hill while second-year pass-catching tight end Adam Trautman looks primed to take on Jared Cook's vacated playmaker role. Alvin Kamara sees a boost of production with a stout blocker back on the roster. Former Saints linebacker Alex Anzalone joins the Detroit Lions with former members of the black and gold coaching staff. Looking across the market for options to complement the incomparable Demario Davis. And why New Orleans shouldn't stop at free agency.

Mock Draft Monday starts off the day as the New Orleans Saints find themselves with a familiar selection to help sure up their defense in case of a major loss at safety. Trevon Moehrig shows up just in time to face off with Ohio State QB Justin Fields for years to come here in the NFC South. On Saturday, the Saints re-signed WR/RB hybrid Ty Montgomery to a one-year deal. How the deal factors into the salary cap, why Montgomery deserved to be brought back, and what it could mean for Latavius Murray after free agency rounds the corner and the Saints have to get under the cap.

How much they saved, how they did it, what the moves mean for the Saints, as well as Cam and Demario's futures in the black and gold.

Double D, Double D! The Mississippi MUD LEGEND and Saints All-Pro linebacker — Demario Davis — pops in for the Season 1 finale of Truss Levelz! Demario begins by explaining why becoming a man of faith completely changed his life, directing him away from his high school troubles. He chats about making the switch from wide receiver to defense in high school and how that led him to choosing Arkansas State, surprising even his mother when he said he was leaving his home state. There, the man performed, and also debuted his three-piece-suit-wearin’ self that we now see dazzling on pregame walks! Then talk turns to the league, as Demario explains what it was like to start in New York, gets into his year in Cleveland, and details what led him back to the Jets. DD’s second time in free agency was a little different from the first, and he explains what led him to the Saints and why he had no clue where he signed with until people started blowing up his phone. In New Orleans it’s been nothing but success for DD, as he led the Saints in tackles his first year, got his First All-Pro recognition, and is continuing to ball out in 2020. Demario ain’t here to play! Tune in! See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
