Jim Mora talks about his days as Saints coach, Sam Mills, Dome Patrol, Ep. 83

We are 5 weeks away from the 2025 NFL Draft, and we’re trying to figure out what direction the New Orleans Saints might go. Do they need an offensive lineman to shift things around and find a starting left guard, or have they already made enough moves in free agency to fill the holes? Will Clapp? Landon Young? Nick Saldiveri?

That’s just one of the topics for host Jim Derry and his guest, Times-Picayune and The Advocate sports columnist Rod Walker on Friday’s Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 352) presented by Evangeline Securities. We also discuss whether the Pelicans should move on from Coach Willie Green in the offseason and whether Zion Williamson can get back to form in which he plays 70 or so games per season.

Lastly, with the NCAA Tournament in full swing, Jim asks Rod if Will Wade is leaving McNeese a special moment before he departs for North Carolina State, and how long of a run the LSU women can have. And we finish the show with a new segment in which we ask A.I. for its sports bet of the day. (We probably shouldn’t ask it to do this live …) 

Do Saints have a problem at left guard? And is Will Wade leaving McNeese with goodbye present? Ep. 352

Dattitude premiered in September 2021 to focus on what's important to sports fans in south Louisiana. While we focus on the Saints, we also talk plenty about the Pelicans, LSU, Tulane, Prep, sports betting, fantasy sports and all the big-time sports events happening in and around New Orleans. Host Jim Derry brings more than 33 years of experience covering sports in the region, and he'll "always tell you the way it is ... or at least the way he THINKS it is."
