At the request of Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards, the NFL and the New Orleans Saints announced Friday, Aug. 27 that due to the impending impact of Hurricane Ida on the Gulf Coast region that the team’s preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals has been canceled. The game, which was originally scheduled for 7 p.m. on Saturday, Aug 28 was moved to noon at the Caesars Superdome. Due to the intensification of the hurricane throughout the day and after the most recent tropical update, the team’s leadership has made the decision in the best interests of all personnel that may have been directly and indirectly affected by the storm. The announcement comes after constant communications with City of New Orleans officials, the National Weather Service, Homeland Security, Gov. Edwards and leading state officials and the National Football League. The team encourages all residents of the region to take precautionary measures to remain safe throughout the impending hurricane. The Saints will be in communication with season ticket account holders regarding applicable refunds and/or credits to their season ticket accounts.

When Winston was with the Bucs vs now with the Saints
… Left picture (Bucs) when he was in a unhealthy environment with unbalanced team vs Right picture (Saints) now in a healthy environment with balanced team. You can tell the difference in appearance which system is better and working for him instead of against him. Obviously Bucs system was the cancer in his career. The NFL will be shock and see a major change. Leave it up to Sean Payton and the Saints to get him right. It’s better to be a silent Tiger than a barking Pit bull. It’s hunting time and Winston hungry and ready to eat. Winston about to remind y’all why he was the 1st pick in the Draft. I don’t care what nobody say… Jameis will have a ball out season!!!! Who Dat
NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) – If you like explosive plays, Monday’s practice was the one for you. The Saints quarterback’s looked well-rested after a day off, and were slinging it all over the field.
After a rough outing Saturday, Jameis Winston bounced back in a big way. Here’s a breakdown of every pass thrown.
Team Period #1 (heavy run)
In the only pass thrown by any quarterback in the entire period, Winston connected with Tre’Quan Smith on a comeback route.
Team Period #2
Winston opened the period with a misfire to Lil’Jordan Humphrey on a dig route. His next pass was a very close call. Winston appeared to get sacked on the play but also layered a throw nicely to Marquez Callaway on a deep over for a big gain.
