The New Orleans Saints Are Set to Hire Klint Kubiak as Their Offensive Coordinator
2 months ago

The Saints are seeing gold with prospective hire Klint Kubiak.

The Saints have continually swiped the credit card with a buy now and pay later mentality regarding the NFL salary cap. In a move that would make Dave Ramsey proud, the Saints most recently committed to the Ramen noodle diet by restructuring Derek Carr’s contract.

 

Where there is inflexibility with roster building, the Saints have plenty of agency in who they can hire for their coaching staff; enter Klint Kubiak.

 

Derek Carr was 37th in red zone accuracy in 2023. Klint Kubiak will deploy more motion as well as slither formations in the red zone to help manufacture passing game opportunity for running backs which is a perfect fit for Alvin Kamara. Sending skill position players in motion will also give more deceptive looks to free up alpha wide receiver Chris Olave. A fun sprinkle to all this that Kubiak did not have in San Francisco is being able to be creative with Swiss army knife Taysom Hill.

 

Expect more creativity for the New Orleans Saints going forward. Buy Saints skill position players in 2024.

4 months ago

New Orleans Saints wide receiver Chris Olave will return for Thursday Night Football vs. the LA Rams.

After missing Week 15 against the Giants, Chris Olave will return from injury and his WR1 role as the Saints take on the LA Rams on TNF.

Olave should immediately return to fantasy lineups, as well.

QB Carr and WR Olave Expected to Play Week 14; Taysom Hill Questionable

Derek Carr and Chris Olave Questionable for Week 14; Expected to Play

Derek Carr has cleared concussion protocol and, to the disappointment of fantasy owners, is expected to be on the field in Week 14 against the Carolina Panthers. Despite being limited earlier in the week, Carr became a full participant in Friday’s practice, dealing with a concussion, right shoulder, and rib injuries. While officially questionable for Sunday, all signs point to his active participation. Chris Olave, who missed practice due to illness, is also anticipated to play. Taysom Hill, nursing foot and left-hand injuries, is listed as questionable after missing practice.

 

The New Orleans Saints, facing a three-game losing streak, contemplate a shift to Jameis Winston for a much-needed spark. Winston and Carr bring distinct playing styles to the table; Winston, akin to a sports car, is known for his aggressive, strong-arm, shot-taking approach, in contrast to Carr’s reliable Sedan style, favoring shorter high-percentage passes. Despite fantasy owners yearning for Winston’s high-energy plays, it seems they’ll have to temporarily park that experience in the garage.

Chris Olave Arrested for Reckless Operation of a Motor Vehicle

Chris Olave Arrested for Reckless Operation of a Motor Vehicle

According to Nick Underhill of the New Orleans Football Network, Chris Olave was arrested Monday night for reckless operation of a motor vehicle. Olave was going 35 MPH over the speed limit and was cooperative with the police. Video of the arrest has been released by TMZ which shows a calm cooperative Olave.

Earlier this offseason fellow Wide Reciever, Jordan Addison of the Minnesota Vikings, was arrested and pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges after going 140 MPH in a 55 MPH zone. Marquise Brown of the Arizona Cardinals was arrested in August for speeding after going 126 MLH in a 65 mph zone. Neither Addison nor Brown faced any disciplinary actions by the NFL. The same should be expected for Olave. No one was injured due to his speeding and he was not under the influence when pulled over.  The Saints play the Colts on Sunday.
