How the new special teams rules could be a vital aspect for winning games? A new special teams rule was approved at this year’s league meetings. Without going into the details, the rule change will make kickoffs safer while also having more kickoffs returned.
New Orleans Saints coaches came under a ton of deserved criticism in 2023. Much of the team's fan base is furious over the team's decision to retain head coach Dennis Allen for a third season.
D'Marco Jackson's onside recovery late in the Panthers game might not seem like a big deal, but in the grand scheme of things, it most certainly was. Carolina was rallying late after the Saints defense allowed their first touchdown of the season, and with the score at 20-17, the Panthers certainly had an opportunity to at least tie things up.
Saints special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi opposes the new NFL rule promoting fair catches on kickoffs, and he says every single special teams coach in the league agrees with him.
New Orleans is trying to replace Sean Payton.
The Saints have reportedly added another member of their coaching staff to their list of head coaching candidates. Mike Garafolo of NFL Media reports that the team will interview special teams coordinator Darren Rizzi at some point this week.
The Miami Dolphins have been connected to seven different candidates in their search for a new head coach, eight if we're counting Jim Harbaugh, who hasn't been interviewed but is lurking as a possible replacement for Brian Flores.
Given the chance to hire a high-end special teams coordinator, the Packers underpaid and paid the price. The Green Bay Packers’ special teams sure picked a heck of a time to have their greatest meltdown of the year.
The Saints did not have any more members of their active roster go on the COVID-19 reserve list on Sunday, but there are more members of the organization who will be unavailable for Monday night’s game against the Dolphins.
Ah finally, the end of the roster. The New Orleans Saints have had one of the league’s finest special teams unit in recent history, and this year is no exception.
