PODCAST: How should the Saints deploy their quarterbacks without Drew Brees?

The latest episode of the Saints Wire Podcast discusses the Drew Brees injury, Jameis Winston and Taysom Hill, and previews the Falcons game

Where do the New Orleans Saints go without Drew Brees? The starting quarterback will be sidelined several weeks while recovering from several injured ribs, putting either Jameis Winston or Taysom Hill in his place. How will that change the offense? Can the Saints keep up their winning streak without No. 9? And that’s all against the backdrop of Falcons Hate Week, with the NFC South-rival squad visiting the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on Sunday.
