T.J. Paganetti: the secret to reviving the Saints run game | LouisianaSports.net Saints Run Game Coordinator T.J. Paganetti explains how he plans to revive the Saints' running game after joining Kellen Moore's staff from Philadelphia

After years of a middling attack, the #Saints  are primed to revive their run game, and a major reason why is run game coordinator T.J. Paganetti.

“We don’t put (players) in positions that suck.”

Derek Carr’s retirement propels Saints into new era Derek Carr’s surprise retirement marks a new era for the Saints, with a fresh coach, QB competition, and long-awaited salary cap flexibility in 2025 and beyond.

The #Saints just experienced another franchise altering moment. But this time instead of clinging on to the success of the past, they’ll be propelled into their new era. 👇🏾 www.louisianasports.net/derek-carrs-...

3 Saints draft picks who could make an early impact in 2025 Three mid-to-late round picks—Devin Neal, Danny Stutsman, and Quincy Riley—could make an immediate impact for the Saints alongside top picks Banks and Shough.

Outside of the top two selections, here are three #Saints rookies that could have a major impact right away. www.louisianasports.net/3-saints-dra...

Teddy Bridgewater return would be perfect for Saints, Tyler Shough The Saints have a QB room full of young passers, and veteran backup Teddy Bridgewater would be a great addition to help guide the signal callers.

The #Saints should bring Teddy Bridgewater back (if he's up for it) as the veteran mentor in the quarterback room. Here are my thoughts as to why the fit would be perfect for the Saints, their young passers and the fanbase. 👇🏾 www.louisianasports.net/teddy-bridge...

Bingo! Thank you!!! Hahaha

None taken! Same for me! Though I do love the pre-draft process as well.

If they want him, here are two ways that the #Saints could select Dart in this year’s first round.👇🏾 www.louisianasports.net/report-kelle...
