The first depth chart of the 2025 season came out this week for the New Orleans Saints, and the word “or” showed up quite a bit, especially at the quarterback position. Will we find out more from watching the first preseason game Sunday vs. the Los Angeles Chargers?

Also, the team will be spending 10 days practicing in Irvine, Calif., where it will be (slightly) cooler. Hopefully, that will allow them to get more done and get some of those aforementioned questions answered. 

Jim Derry tries to beat Coach Kellen Moore to the punch with Wednesday’s guest, FOX-8’s Garland Gillen, on the Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 399) presented by Evangeline Securities. The duo also will talk a little LSU and Tulane, and Gabe Henderson has thoughts on Shedeur Sanders being named the starter for Cleveland’s first preseason game and the NFL making a deal with ESPN. We also preview show No. 400 with Jim Henderson.

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."
