Studs and Duds from Saints’ 13-10 road win over Seahawks

Some New Orleans Saints players made more positive plays than others against the Seattle Seahawks, with too many receivers as liabilities:

It often wasn’t easy, and at times it was perilous, but the New Orleans Saints beat the Seattle Seahawks at their own brand on football on Monday night. New Orleans’ defense bludgeoned Geno Smith and the Seattle running game, while their own offense did just enough to find a win.

But you’d like to see them do more than that. The Saints offense made enough mistakes and had enough bad performances to keep this game in jeopardy until the final minutes, including an uncharacteristic botched series  or two in scoring position. Let’s go under the hood for Week 7’s Studs and Duds:

The New Orleans Saints shuffled their depth chart during the first wave of roster cuts, with 15 different players coming and going the last few days. What does the team look like now? Here is a position-by-position review of all the latest changes, with more on the way:

Kevin White determined to chase NFL comeback ‘until they kick me out’

Kevin White knows the challenge in front of him is daunting. And he’s vowed to pursue it anyway. White spoke about his attempt at a comeback with the New Orleans Saints after his first practice session in black and gold on Wednesday, reflecting on his injury-plagued career with the Chicago Bears.

“I’m going for it until they kick me out this league,” White said to NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill. He admitted frustrations with unlucky injuries — a twice-broken leg in 2015 and 2016, and a fractured shoulder blade in 2017 — and few opportunities in the Mitchell Trubisky-led Bears offense, but he’s keeping the faith that he can turn his story around.

He’s got all the tools to succeed. He was the No. 7 overall draft pick for good reason, thanks to a strong senior year in West Virginia’s high-flying offense and elite athletic traits (having timed the 40-yard dash in 4.35 seconds and 6-foot-3 and 215 pounds). Even at 29, he’s got more raw talent to work with than many younger players entering the league.

We’ll see if he is able to put it to good use in New Orleans. White caught a few passes in team drills on Wednesday with a statement touchdown from rookie quarterback Ian Book. He’s acutely aware of the stakes involved. With two more preseason games on the schedule, maybe he shows the Saints coaches enough in practice this week to warrant a longer look.
