Dive into the Saints' latest with Cam Jordan's candid interview, a new signing, and crucial insights before facing the Buccaneers.
Following a loss to the Miami Dolphins last week and looking ahead to the New Orleans Saints' upcoming contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, TJ discusses a recent player signing, comments from former players, and an interview with Cam Jordan, among other things. Here's the timestamp breakdown:
- Saints' Roster Move The Saints signed cornerback Beanie Bishop Jr. to the practice squad (3:31). Bishop Jr., a 25-year-old undrafted rookie, was noted for his ball-hawking skills with the Steelers, recording four interceptions in 17 games in 2024. This move aims to add depth and competition to the Saints' secondary (4:39).
- Blake Grupe's Comments Former Saints kicker Blake Grupe, who recently signed with the Indianapolis Colts, stated he feels like he's "playing meaningful football" (7:23). This comment was interpreted by some as a subtle jab at the Saints (7:50), but Jones argues that Grupe has nobody but himself to blame for his departure due to his inconsistent performance (8:05). Grupe played three seasons with the Saints with a field goal percentage of 81.1% before signing with the Colts.
- Cam Jordan Interview Cam Jordan discusses his performance this season, expressing satisfaction with his disruptive play (16:37). He also shares his disappointment about the team being eliminated from playoff contention early in the season (18:02) and emphasizes his focus on personal improvement and making teammates better (22:00).
- Critique of Saints' Front Office Jones and a caller, Jerry, criticize the Saints' general manager, Mickey Loomis, for the team's lack of success in recent years (27:34). They argue that the front office's decisions are driven by emotion rather than business, leading to a "bargain basement shopping" approach to team building (30:52).
