PODCAST: Let’s calm down on the Michael Thomas diva WR talk

The newest episode of the Saints Wire Podcast reflects on the New Orleans Saints season so far, the Michael Thomas situation and what’s next

This week’s episode of the Saints Wire Podcast is live, as always hosted by Ryan O’Leary (@RyanOLearySMG on Twitter) with Saints Wire managing editor John Sigler (@john_siglerr on Twitter). You can subscribe for new entries released each Thursday on Apple Podcasts or any podcast service.

We’re taking stock of the Saints at their bye week and reviewing Monday night’s surprising overtime win over the Los Angeles Chargers, which literally took a bounce (off the uprights) going New Orleans’ way. They were lucky to escape that game with a victory, but the landscape ahead is favorable — if they can make the right adjustments in self-scouting. One critical move to make is avoiding an overreaction to the Michael Thomas situation.

We also took a quick look around the NFL, offering takes on Tom Brady’s reeling Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Le’Veon Bell’s free agency. Other segments are packed with fantasy football info and the latest sportsbetting odds.

PODCAST: Saints run defense streak should survive Chargers, but beware Justin Herbet

The New Orleans Saints had an impressive road win over the Detroit Lions added to their resume, but Justin Herbert and the Chargers are next

We’re already into the sixth episode of the Saints Wire Podcast, hosted by Ryan O’Leary (@RyanOLearySMG on Twitter) with Saints Wire managing editor John Sigler (@john_siglerr). You can subscribe to new episodes (released each Thursday) on Apple Podcasts or your podcast service of choice.

This week, we’re looking back on the New Orleans Saints’ impressive road win over the Detroit Lions, while also taking stock of some injury situations to starters ahead of Week 5’s prime-time matchup with the Los Angeles Chargers. The Saints offense is starting to fire on all cylinders, but a lot hinges on whether keystone players like right tackle Ryan Ramczyk and wide receiver Michael Thomas can return before the bye week. And can their historically-great run defense keep up the pace against wild-card rookie quarterback Justin Herbert and the Bolts?
