We told you last week there were signs Tyler Shough is the leader in the New Orleans Saints race for QB1 over Spencer Rattler, and our opinion hasn't changed. One preseason loss to the Los Angeles Chargers did nothing to change that. But what do fans think? Host Jim Derry hears from the Dat Family on another Mano E Monday edition of the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 401) presented by Evangeline Securities. Did they agree, and is anyone changing their opinion on ANYTHING after an exhibition game? Jim has ‘Derry's Dimes' and also talks about his concern at the injuries the Saints suffered Sunday, especially with Trevor Penning and Will Clapp on the offensive line. What does our neutral observer, Gabe Henderson, think? Is there a race at kicker between Blake Grupe and Charlie Smyth? And was the defense simply too vanilla to learn anything from?
