4 takeaways from New Orleans Saints' shutout preseason loss to Rams
Here are four key takeaways from the New Orleans Saints' 34-0 blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Just how much does the preseason matter?
The New Orleans Saints suffered a devastating 34-0 shutout loss to the Los Angeles Rams in their second preseason game, highlighting numerous areas for improvement. Head coach Kellen Moore acknowledged the missed opportunity, but it may have been more significant than initially thought. The team's depth has been severely impacted by injuries, leaving a void that could be filled by another backup quarterback.
Neither Spencer Rattler nor Zach Wilson have impressed so far, with both making costly interceptions. To compete, the Saints might consider acquiring a veteran with proven winning experience. Kicker Charlie Smyth's missed field goal, while not indicative of his abilities, underscores the need to evaluate the kicking market early in the preseason.
Lastly, Jayden Price showed promise with one of his best performances to date, demonstrating inside-out versatility and a strong target share. His success may solidify his position as a key backup for the Saints.
