Jeff Duncan and Jim Derry co-host this special "vacation" edition of Dattitude (Ep. 79).

Saints GM Mickey Loomis talks candidly with Jeff Duncan and Jim Derry on Ep. 79

Saints Hall of Fame Coach Jim Mora talks about his road to New Orleans, his days leading the Black and Gold, Sam Mills going into the Pro Football Hall of Fame last week, the toughness of Rickey Jackson, and how this current defense stacks up against his Dome Patrol.

Just a few days of mandatory minicamp, and then Dennis Allen and the New Orleans Saints will take their final break before the 2024 season begins in earnest with training camp in late July. There certainly are more questions than answers, as Klint Kubiak installs a new offense, and we still don’t know three of the five pieces on the line outside of Erik McCoy at center and Cesar Ruiz at right guard.

And what about the aging defensive line? Can the linebackers step up, and could Willie Gay be a diamond in the rough? Is the defensive backfield the strength of the team? All questions Jim Derry poses to WWL Radio Saints/NFL analyst Mike Detillier on Monday’s Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 249) presented by Evangeline Securities.

And Jim finishes the show with a booming ‘Extra Point,’ as he goes back 28 years to the greatest home run in LSU history – a game-winning blast by Warren Morris in the bottom of the ninth with two outs, a runner on third base and the Tigers trailing the mighty Miami Hurricanes by one run. It was Morris’ only home run in 1996, and really, the only one he needed to hit.

State of the Saints - an early 2024 outlook with Mike Detillier on Ep. 249

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."
