New Orleans Saints Jameis Winston injury news was positive today. While he will not participate in practice for a few days, nor the weekend Houston Texans matchup, Dennis Allen and the Saints suspect nothing serious when it comes to his injury. Andy Dalton led the way well in his stead. For wide receiver Michael Thomas, it doesn't matter who's throwing him passes, he's going to ball. Taysom Hill and Marcus Davenport take meaningful steps forward in their ramp ups. Find and follow Locked On Saints on your favorite podcast platforms:

What season or experience has grown you in ways you never thought were possible? In this episode of ‘Why or Why Not with the Watsons', Benjamin and Kirsten talk about the 16 seasons of NFL Training Camp that they experienced. They both reflect on their memories of this season in their lives, talking about how much they grew individually and as a family through the blessings and curses each year brought.

In HOUR TWO of OTB, we discuss an upperclassmen runningback no longer being with the program. We also check in on the New Orleans Saints, as the black and gold are halfway through training camp, and we have a new edition of weekend winners!

Big Q covers the latest your Black and Gold. In this quick report Saints Qb Jameis Winston rolled his ankle today at Monday's practice.

Bobby, Steve, and Kristian discussed the Saints' schedule to open the season. Bobby said he would be discouraged if New Orleans somehow lost to an inferior Falcons squad in week one. They broke down the importance of a fast start in a schedule that features three consecutive division opponents to open the season.

Steve, Kristian, and Bobby shared their thoughts on Saints rookie running back Abram Smith. The guys also talked about the team opening their season with three-straight games against division opponents. Bobby discussed the Saints' new safeties and how their versatility allows the three brilliant minds leading the defense to get creative. 

Kristian, Bobby, and Steve continued discussing Sam Mills' induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. They also answered questions about the preseason, saying they expect Andy Dalton and Ian Book to see a majority of the work in those games. Bobby and Kristian gave tips to Steve for his upcoming trip to Green Bay to cover the Saints' practices against the Packers next week. Kristian said he would not be surprised to see the Saints defense stack over 50 sacks this season with their embarrassment of riches at the defensive end position. 

Todd Graffagnini, the radio voice of the Pelicans and a Saints digital content producer, joined the show to share his thoughts on training camp. Graffagnini said the ramp-up process for Tyrann Mathieu and Michael Thomas has been encouraging. He also discussed CJ Gardner-Johnson's contract situation, Paulson Adebo's relationship with Alontae Taylor, and Abram Smith's opportunity in the preseason. 

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Michael Thomas is the model of consistency, bringing in 10+ catches 18 times in his career in just half the games of his peers. His remarkable talent and catch radius are beneficial for the Saints as a whole, yes, but also quarterback Jameis Winston. Winston will have ample opportunity to get in rhythm with the All-Pro receiver after his involvement took a major step forward to team drills in training camp. Should the Saints keep 2 or 3 quarterbacks this season? Here's why 2 might make sense. Find and follow Locked On Saints on your favorite podcast platforms:

Steve, Bobby, and Kristian praised Pro Football Hall of Famer Sam Mills as a fantastic player and outstanding person.

New Orleans Saints Michael Thomas and Tyrann Mathieu both made massive strides on Saturday participating in team drills. Thomas opened with a catch immediately while Mathieu would recover a fumble by the wideout later on in the day. Hugely important progress for the players and the Saints. Also a major development for quarterback Jameis Winston to have his top weapon and a fully loaded defense to work against. Payton Turner shines, Quenton Meeks signs, and Kiko Alonso bids the NFL farewell. An eventful end to the week 2 of Saints camp. Find and follow Locked On Saints on your favorite podcast platforms:

Guru and Wiz Discuss the 2022 New Orleans Saints Fantasy Football Outlook

New Orleans Saints Michael Thomas held nothing back with a dominant day at Saints training camp. Breaking down his highlights throughout the day including great matchups with Paulson Adebo with touchdowns from Jameis Winston and Andy Dalton. If the Saints need someone in C.J. Gardner-Johnson's role while contract negotiations continue, they could turn to Alontae Taylor, Bradley Roby, Justin Evans, or P.J. Williams. But while they can play the position, can they fill his role? Find and follow Locked On Saints on your favorite podcast platforms:

New Orleans Saints cornerback Paulson Adebo was supposed to have some competition throughout training camp for the cornerback spot opposite Marshon Lattimore. While Alontae Taylor and Bradley Roby have no underperformed by any means, Adebo has held steady as the team's most productive corner every single day of camp over the first week and a half. Tyrann Mathieu makes it possible for the Saints defense to be one of the NFL's best not just with his ability to make plays, but his intelligence and putting others in position to make plays as well. How he and Demario Davis impact that fabric and identity of the Saints' defense. Find and follow Locked On Saints on your favorite podcast platforms:

New Orleans Saints Michael Thomas is back. After an impressive and dominant performance during today's camp, it's clear that Thomas is ready to produce again. He took on camp star Paulson Adebo twice in 1-on-1s and won both reps, and caught a touchdown in 7-on-7s. More good news: Saints coach Dennis Allen believes they are close to getting him involved in team drills as well. Tony Jones Jr has had a solid couple of days in practice, could he be back to pushing for his incumbent roster spot in the running back room?

Chapter 1: This is the story of how two different kickers used the same strategy to climb from rock bottom to become the best amateur kickers in the country. Lou Groza Award winners Alexis Serna (Oregon State Beavers) and Brad Craddock (University of Maryland Terrapins) came close to quitting for different reasons, but the way they overcame obstacles was the same. These two kickers explain the mindset of “kicking not to miss” and how it almost ruined their promising kicking careers. Chapter 2: This chapter was inspired by a conversation with former Syracuse Orange kicker Cole Murphy in the summer of 2019. In that conversation, Murphy explained that he felt all the best kickers had a “beach bum” like quality to them. The concept became the starting point for this entire podcast series. Are all great kickers like “beach bums”? Had reporter Cole Weinstein uncovered the predictive personality trait that determined whether someone could make it big as an elite college or NFL kicker? We answer those questions with the help of NFL veterans Pro Bowler John Carney (San Diego Chargers, New Orleans Saints) and Pro Football Hall of Famer Morten Andersen (New Orleans Saints, Atlanta Falcons), whose careers each spanned over two decades in the NFL.
