THE MATCHUP.

The Saints, throwing adversity of Hurricane Ida to the wind for three hours and beginning their season with a 38-3 win over the Green Bay Packers at TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville, Fl. now continue their 2021 journey away from the Caesars Superdome for two more weeks, starting with a 12:00 central matchup with the Panthers on Sept. 19 to open NFC South play. New Orleans comes into the contest having started their season off on the right foot for the third consecutive season, leading into the NFC South slate where they posted a 6-0 mark in 2020, running away with their fourth consecutive division title.

New Orleans (1-0) leads the regular season series over Carolina (1-0) 27-25, including two consecutive sea-son sweeps. But New Orleans is 9-2 in the last 11 meet-ings, including a 2017 NFC Wild Card Playoff victory.

New Orleans comes off a dominating 38-3 win over the 2020 NFC Championship finalist Packers in a contest origi-nally scheduled to be played in New Orleans but relocated to Jacksonville due to the recovery process for the Gulf South from Ida.

The win featured nearly flawless performances on of-fense, defense, special teams, as the Saints handed the Packers a 35-point loss, while the Green and Gold’s signal-caller and reigning NFL MVP, Aaron Rodgers was dealt

the largest deficit of his career as a starting quarterback.

The win featured a sparkling performance on offense by quarterback Jameis Winston, making his Saints starting debut, an offensive line that did not give up a sack despite the early loss of center Erik McCoy which necessitated two position shuffles and a running attack that finished with 171 yards rushing against what was the NFL’s ninth-ranked defense in 2020. The seven-year veteran was effi-cient, posting a 130.8 passer rating, completing 14 of 20 passes for 148 yards, but showing a penchant for big plays with a career-high tying five touchdowns and zero inter-ceptions.

Running back Alvin Kamara served as a workhorse for a New Orleans offense that won the time of possession battle 34:36-25:24, as he carried 20 times for 83 yards and caught three passes for eight yards with the Saints’ first touchdown, continuing to move up the club’s rushing, re-ceiving and scoring charts.

The defense put together a dominating performance. The unit held the Packers scoreless until the final play of the third quarter and Green Bay mustered only 229 total net yards, including only 43 on the ground on 15 attempts (2.9 avg.). Rookie CB Paulson Adebo and S Marcus Wil-liams recorded picks. Defensive ends Marcus Daven-port and Tonah Kpassagnon led the New Orleans pass rush with sacks.

THE HEAD COACHES

Sean Payton has posted a 153-89 overall record (.632), including a 9-8 postseason mark after the franchise had won only one playoff game prior to his arrival in 2006. Pay-ton holds both the club’s top victory total and winning per-centage. Payton is tied for 23rd all-time in NFL records in victories, fifth among active coaches. He continues to rep-resent the Saints as the model of stability not only within the NFC South, as he is the longest tenured head coach within the division, but also among the most accomplished within the NFL. Only the Patriots’ Bill Belichick (2000) has been with the his team longer than Payton’s 15 seasons. Payton is also one of just nine active NFL head coaches to lead a team to a Super Bowl victory. The others are the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Bruce Arians, Belichick, the Seat-tle Seahawks’ Pete Carroll, the Las Vegas Raiders’ Jon Gruden (Buccaneers in 2002), the Baltimore Ravens’ John Harbaugh, the Dallas Cowboys’ Mike McCarthy (Green Bay Packers in 2010), Kansas City’s Andy Reid and the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Mike Tomlin. The 2020 Saints were only the sixth team in National Football League history to have six-game winning streaks in four consecutive seasons and with a nine-game winning streak had won at least nine straight games in two of the past three seasons and had double-digit victory figures and consecutive playoff berths in four straight years for the first time in franchise history, also being only the third NFC team since divisional align-ment to capture four straight division championships. Five Saints were selected to the Pro Bowl as the Black and Gold qualified for the NFL playoffs for the ninth season (2006, 2009-11, 2013, 2017-20) in Payton’s head coaching tenure. ppg.). Payton earned a bachelor’s degree in com-munications at Eastern Illinois, where as a quarterback he had 10,665 passing yards, at the time the third-highest total in NCAA Division I-AA history. Payton was inducted into the Eastern Illinois Hall of Fame in 2000 and had his jersey retired in a ceremony in 2010. He received an honorary doctorate from his alma mater in 2013. Payton was born Dec. 29, 1963 in San Mateo, Calif., and raised in Naper-ville, Ill., Payton has a daughter, Meghan and a son, Con-nor. CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Matt Rhule was named the fifth head coach in Panthers history on Jan. 8, 2020 and guided them to a 5-11 record in his first campaign, following up by defeating the Jets in the 2021 season operner. Rhule joined Carolina after three seasons (2017-19) as the head coach at Baylor. Rhule helped rebuild the Baylor program, guiding the team from a 1-11 finish in his first season to a 7-6 record and a bowl berth in 2018 to an 11-3 record and appearance in the Big 12 Championship and Sugar Bowl in 2019. He was voted the Big 12 Conference’s Coach of the Year by his peers. Baylor’s appearance in the Sugar Bowl was just the second-ever in school history, and under Rhule’s leadership, the Bears became the first Power 5 program to go from 11 losses (2017) to 11 wins (2019) within two seasons. Prior to his stint at Baylor, Rhule was the head coach at Temple (2013-16), where he took the Owls from a 2-10 mark in his first season to 6-6 in 2014 and two consecutive 10-in sea-sons in 2015 and 2016. He guided the Owls to the school’s first back-to-back 10-win seasons, a two bowl berths (2015-16) and the 2016 AAC Championship. He helped the Owls improve from a two-win season in his first year in 2013. Rhule has spent 23 years as a coach in the college and NFL ranks. Rhule was an assistant offensive line coach with the New York Giants (2012) and a college assistant at Temple (2006-11), serving as offensive coordinator (2008-11), quarterbacks coach and recruiting coordinator (2007) and defensive line coach (2006). He also was part of the coaching staffs at Western Carolina (2002-05), UCLA (2001), Buffalo (1999-2000) and Albright College (1998). Rhule played linebacker at Penn State from 1994-97.

LAST MEETING

Saints 33, Panthers 7; January 3, 2021 @ Bank of America Stadium – While the Saints didn’t get the first-round bye in the NFC playoffs they coveted, they proved again they can win big games without star players. And that could come in handy in the postseason.

Drew Brees threw for 201 yards and three touchdowns, the Saints had five interceptions and New Orleans routed the Carolina Panthers 33-7 on Sunday without their top two running backs and fullback to wrap up the No. 2 seed in the NFC playoffs.

The Saints (12-4) will host the seventh-seeded Chicago Bears in the wild-card round next Sunday at 4:40 p.m. EST.

“We have had various guys go down in a key positions,” Brees said. “We were dealt kind of a crazy hand this week, but it says so much about our team and how we were able to respond.”

Brees sat out five games this season with broken ribs, wide receiver Michael Thomas has missed nine games with an ankle injury and on Sunday the entire Saints running back room was out due to a COVID-19 outbreak.

That meant converted wide receiver Ty Montgomery had to fill in for Alvin Kamara, who tied an NFL record with six TDs in Week 16 vs. the Vikings. He proved up to the task, rush-ing for 105 yards on 18 carries as the Saints became the first team to sweep the NFC South by going 6-0 since the division was formed in 2002.

Wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders said that’s a tribute to coach Sean Payton.

“How he’s handled Drew, Michael (Thomas) and Alvin be-ing out. … He says we’re not going to go into panic mode — and that is a credit for him,” said Sanders, who had 63 yards receiving and a touchdown.

Payton acknowledged there were a lot “moving parts” this week after coaches learned about the COVID-19 tests late in the week.

“It’s happened to other teams,” Payton said. “I was real proud of how some guys stepped up.”

Carolina’s Teddy Bridgewater was benched midway through the third quarter after throwing his second intercep-tion in the end zone into double coverage. The former Saints QB finished 13 of 23 for 176 yards and was re-placed by P.J. Walker, who was intercepted three times.

Panthers coach Matt Rhule said he took Bridgewater out because he felt he was lacking velocity on his throws and wasn’t pushing off his ankle, which he injured earlier in the game.

Saints 38, Packers 3; September 12, 2021 @ TIAA Bank Field (Jacksonville, Fla.) – Jameis Winston and the hurri-cane-displaced Saints looked right at home in northeast Florida — no doubt to the delight of fans rebuilding homes and lives back in New Orleans. Winston passed for five touchdowns, New Orleans intercepted reigning NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers twice, and the Saints kicked off the post-Drew Brees era with a strik-ingly dominant 38-3 victory over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday. “We knew that even though some people don’t have power, they’re going to find a way to watch the Saints,” linebacker and captain Demario Davis said. "That’s just what this team means to the city — and the city means the same to us." The game, originally scheduled for the Superdome, was moved while the New Orleans area continues to clean up wreckage left by Hurricane Ida, which struck southeast Louisiana as a Category 4 storm on Aug. 29, 16 years to the day after Hurricane Katrina devastated the same re-gion. After canceling their final preseason game and practicing two weeks in the Dallas area, the Saints looked as sharp and inspired as any club with such distrac-tions could have hoped. “That was for the city,” Winston said. “We did that for them. We knew how much it would mean to get a great victory for that region. They’ve been through so much. ... Hats off to them for their resilience, because they motivat-ed us. They inspired us to come out there and ball.” Winston, who led the NFL with 30 interceptions in his last season as a starter with Tampa Bay in 2019, was largely judicious and accurate in going an efficient 14 of 20 for 148 yards without an interception. New Orleans also rushed for 171 yards. “Drew always preached, it's about the decision, not the result,” Winston said, alluding to last season, when he served as a reserve and understudy to Brees in an effort to improve the long-term trajectory of his up-and-down career. “Sometimes the decision is throwing the ball away, some-times the decision is running, tucking. Sometimes the deci-sion may be taking a sack.” Winston didn't take a sack, but did take off and run for a few key third-down conversions in the first half. The only risky throw that backfired on him — a de-flected pass caught by Packers defensive back Darnell Savage in the end zone — was negated by a contested

roughing-the-passer penalty called against edge rusher Z'Darius Smith. The penalty set up the second touchdown catch of the game by Juwan Johnson, who came in with four career catches and was converted from receiver to a tight end this offseason. On the day before his 25th birthday, Johnson also converted a screen pass into a 12-yard, first-down gain on fourth-and-7 in the second quarter, when the game was still in doubt. He capped that drive with a leaping catch in the end zone on fourth-and-2. The two fourth-down conver-sions highlighted a pivotal 14-play drive that consumed 10 minutes. “You've got to pick your spots where you want to be aggressive and it's a little bit easier on that end of the field,” Payton said. “I felt pretty good about the calls.” Green Bay fans seemed to outnumber Saints fans in a crowd announced at 35,242 for what was officially a Saints home game. But they left disappointed in a day that could not have gone much worse for Rodgers, who was pulled with nearly 11 minutes left. As the time expired, the remaining Saints fans joined in triumphant chants of “Who Dat!” that echoed throughout the stadium. “This is a good kick in the you-know-where,” said Rodgers, who finished 15 of 28 for 133 yards and no TDs. “We felt like we were going to go up and down the field on whoever they have and that obviously wasn’t the case.” Opening the third quarter down 17-3, the Packers squandered a chance to trim their deficit when Rodgers' wobbly pass under pressure was intercepted by rookie de-fensive back Paulson Adebo at the New Orleans 7 early in the third quarter. On Green Bay's next drive, Marcus Williams inter-cepted Rodgers' deep overthrow and returned it to the Packers 12, setting up Winston's 10-yard TD to Chris Ho-gan. “Every team has a game like this,” said Packers running back Aaron Jones, who was limited to 9 yards on five carries. “It’s better to get it out now.”

FAST START

The Saints did not punt in the first half. New Orleans took the opening kickoff for a field goal and led 10-0 after Alvin Kamara took a short forward pitch from Winston as he crossed behind the offensive line, then slipped multiple tackle attempts to squirm into the end zone from 3 yards. That officially went down as Winston’s first regular-season TD pass as a Saint, and he helped set it up with a 10-yard scramble on third-and-8.

HIGHER EDUCATION

38 schools are represented on the Saints’ 2021 53-man roster. Of that total, 13 are represented by multiple Saints, led by four from Ohio State (S Malcolm Jenkins, Lattimore, CB Bradley Roby and LB Pete Werner).

ROSTER ROLL CALL

Of the 50 players currently on the Saints’ roster, 37 were on the active roster, a reserve list or the practice squad at the end of 2020. Of the 50, 23 have less than four years of prior NFL experience. The following’s a breakdown of New Orleans’ roster by experience (year entering): 13 years-1, 11 years-1, 10 years-1, 9 years-2, 8 years-3, 7 years-5, 6 years-2, 5 years-7, 4 years-3, 3 years-7, 2 years-9, 1 year-3 rookies-6.

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

A spot on the practice squad is another avenue to eventu-ally get onto the active roster and have the opportunity to contribute. The Saints have nine players on their current 2021 53-man roster who moved up to their 53-man roster after being on NFL practice squads, all who spent time on the Saints practice roster before being promoted. Below is an overview of players on the club’s current 53-man roster with extensive practice squad experience.

RB Tony Jones Jr. was signed by New Orleans out of Notre Dame following the 2020 NFL Draft. Without the ben-efit of preseason games due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Jones Jr. spent the majority of the regular season on the practice squad. As a reward for his hard work in enhancing his body and technique and providing solid looks on the scout team for the club’s defense throughout the regular season, the 5-foot-11, 224-pound tailback was signed to the active roster and played in the 2020 regular season finale at Carolina. Jones has taken advantage of his large frame and participation in his first full offseason strength and conditioning program to win a roster spot on the open-ing day roster. In the two preseason games, Jones led the team in rushing with 12 carries for 106 yards and one touchdown and caught six passes for 42 yards. In Sun-day’s win over Green Bay, Jones carried 11 times for 50 yards (4.5 avg.) and catching a pass for a gain of three yards, supplementing Alvin Kamara

After spending the majority of 2019 on the practice squad, playing in five games with one start and no statistics, WR Lill’Jordan Humphrey appeared in three games with one start in 2020 and posted three receptions for 46 yards with his first career touchdown, while adding a 14-yard

grab in the postseason loss to Tampa Bay. Humprhey won a competition for a roster spot in the 2021 preseason, when he ranked second on the team in receiving with sev-en receptions for 103 yards and two touchdowns to tie for the team lead.

After appearing in three regular season games in 2017 with a four-year catch and posting two receptions for 12 yards and one touchdown in the 2018 NFC Championship, TE Garrett Griffin was elevated to the club’s active roster multiple times in 2020, playing in four games with three starts, serving as a blocking presence.

RB Dwayne Washington participated on the Saints practice squad briefly in 2018 after spending most of the 2016 and 2017 seasons on Detroit’s active roster. Through develop-ment, the tailback, in addition to his running skills, has de-veloped into a core special teams player with seven stops.

TE Juwan Johnson was signed by New Orleans out of Ore-gon following the 2020 NFL Draft as a wideout. Recording four receptions for 39 yards seven contests, Johnson spent the majority of the season on the practice squad. Convert-ed to tight end in 2021, Johnson’s taken advantage of his large frame and participation in his first full offseason strength and conditioning program, posting three recep-tions for 80 yards in the preseason. In Sunday’s season-opening win over Green Bay, Johnson posted three recep-tions for 21 yards and two touchdowns.

After spending the second half of the 2020 season on the practice squad and the 2019 regular season out of football, DL Christian Ringo secured a roster spot in the team’s 2021 defensive line rotation. Also having practice squad stints with Detroit, Dallas and Green Bay, Ringo has played in 21 games for five teams and recorded 17 tackles, 1.5 sacks and one forced fumble. In his Saints debut Sunday, Ringo got the start and played a role in a run-stopping ef-fort that held Green Bay to only 43 rushing yards on 15 carries (2.9 avg.).

After spending the last six weeks of 2019 and first 16 weeks of 2020 on the team’s practice squad, LB Andrew Dowell was elevated to the club’s active roster for the regular season finale at Carolina. In two preseason games in 2021, he posted five tackles, one forced fumbles and two coverage spots to secure a roster spot.

LB Chase Hansen spent the bulk of the 2020 season on the practice squad. Through development, the linebacker who can play either on the inside or outside or on special teams, appeared in two regular seson games and then rec-orded his first career coverage stop in the NFC Wild Card Playoff win over Chicago.

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE-PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

Signed as an undrafted free agent out of Oregon in 2020, Calvin Throckmorton started games at four of five po-sitions in college. After spending the entire 2020 season on the practice squad, Throckmorton’s versatility allowed him to capture an initial spot on the team’s 53-man roster. Throckmorton was thrust into action in Sunday’s 38-3 win over Green Bay, where he played nearly all four quarters at right guard following a lower leg injury suffered by Erik McCoy, with New Orleans not surrendering a sack.

Ahead is a synopsis of several returning players and new-comers through the draft and free agency to the 2021 Saints offensive line:

Left Tackle Terron Armstead - The club’s first third round draft choice in 2013 out of Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Armstead impressed scouts by running the fastest 40-yard dash time (4.71) by an offensive lineman in the history of the NFL Scouting Combine. He’s opened 86 regular season games and nine postseason contests and has been selected to the Pro Bowl the past three seasons, as well as being se-lected as the club’s 2019 Man of the Year and the team nominee for the NFL’s Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award.

Tackle/Guard Andrus Peat - A first round selection (13th overall) in the 2015 NFL Draft out of Stanford, Peat was considered one of the top college offensive linemen in 2014. In his first six seasons, Peat’s played in 76 regular season games with 69 starts, opening a contest at every position except center. In 2020, he opened 13 contests at left guard as he is part of the NFC Pro squad for the third consecutive season.

Right Tackle Ryan Ramczyk - The Black and Gold used their second first round selection in the 2017 NFL Draft to snag Ramczyk out of Wisconsin, viewed by many as one of the best linemen in the entire draft. After opening all 16 games and both postseason contests in 2017 and being selected as a PFWA All-Rookie, he was an AP All-Pro se-lection at right tackle in 2018, not missing an offensive snap in both postseason contests and all 15 regular games at the right tackle position that he played in. Ramczyk opened all 16 regular season games in 2019 to serve as a dominating bookend to Armstead, earning first-team All-Pro. Opening every contest and playing a key role in block-ing for a run offense that averaged over 200 yards per game in a three-game stretch for the first time since 2018 in three contests and finished the season ranked sixth in the league in rushing offense, Ramczyk was the team’s 2020 nominee for the NFL’s Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award and was selected as a second-team AP All-Pro.


OFFENSIVE NOTES

Center/Guard Erik McCoy - New Orleans traded up in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft to select this standout from Texas A&M, who was a three-year starter, anchoring the middle of the Aggies offensive line. In 2018, he was a team captain who paved the way for the SEC’s leading rusher and in 2019 was the first Saint in franchise history to start at center in Week One, opening all 16 regular season contests. McCoy opened all 16 contests and both postsea-son games in 2020 for the NFL’s sixth-ranked rushing of-fense.

Guard/Center Cesar Ruiz - The hard-working, talented and intelligent lineman is a perfect fit for New Orleans’ cul-ture with the 24th pick in the 2020 NFL Draft out of the Uni-versity of Michigan. The three-year letterman played in 36 games in his college career, starting his last 31 including the final 26 at center, earning All-Big Ten as a junior in 2019. Ruiz settled in at right guard in the last 15 games, with nine starts as he has settled into the position without the benefit of offseason workouts, OTAs and preseason games, as well as both postseason contests. Extensive development is expected with the benefit of a full offseason for Ruiz in 2021. When McCoy suffered a lower leg injury in the first quarter of Sunday’s season-opening win over Green Bay, Ruiz successfully transitioned over to his natu-ral position, where the Saints did not give up a sack.

Offensive Lineman Calvin Throckmorton - This 6-5, 309 pound former four-year starter on the Oregon line was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2020, possessing the flexibility to play all five positions along the offensive line. After spending his rookie season on the practice squad, Throckmorton increased strength in the 2021 offseason and made big strides in training camp, securing a roster spot in 2021. In his NFL debut on Sunday, Throckmorton was called to play right guard following a lower leg injury to McCoy in the first quarter, with the west coast product fit-ting in seamlessly on New Orleans’ line.

Tackle Landon Young - A mainstay at left tackle for his entire college career at Kentucky, Young played in 49 con-tests with 30 starts in his college career. The Lexington, Ky. native was selected by New Orleans in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft and held up to the competition in training camp to snare a roster spot.

Tackle/Guard James Hurst - A seven-year NFL veteran who was signed as a free agent from Baltimore in 2020, Hurst has 102 career regular season appearances with 49 at three different positions on the inside and outside. Hurst’s versatility came in handy in 2020, his first season in New Orleans as he has started two contests at left tackle with Armstead on the COVID-19 list and the Saints gained over 200 yards rushing each time. Hurst started at left

guard in the Christmas Day win over Minnesota in place of an injured Peat as the offensive line blocked for a season-high 264 yards rushing and did not give up a sack.

DEFENSIVE DRAFTS

Over the last seven drafts from 2015-21, New Orleans has shown a commitment to defense, spending 18-of-32 picks on that side of the ball. With nine picks in the 2015 NFL Draft, the Saints picked six defensive players, the most taken since New Orleans chose nine in a 12-round selec-tion meeting in 1990. Below is an overview of the defensive players selected by New Orleans from 2015-21 currently with the club:

Cornerback Paulson Adebo, Stanford (D3-21) - Select-ed in the third round (76th overall) of the 2021 NFL Draft out of Stanford, Adebo finished his college career playing in 22 games with 21 starts for Stanford and recording 97 tackles, 34 passes defensed and eight interceptions, earn-ing All-Pac-12 honors in both 2018 and 2019. He started in the season opener and became the first Saint to record an interception in his NFL debut since 2002 with a third quar-ter pick of Packers QB Aaron Rodgers.

Linebacker Zack Baun, Wisconsin (D3a-20) - Selected in the third round (74th overall) of the 2020 NFL Draft out of the University of Wisconsin, Baun finished his college ca-reer with 154 tackles, 15 sacks, two interceptions, one re-turned for a touchdown, six passes defensed, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. The Saints were attracted to his playmaking ability that he displayed for the Badgers in 2019, when he ranked second in the Big Ten with a 19.5 stops for loss and 12 sacks (second among Power Five linebackers in both categories). Baun contributed in 13 reg-ular season contests posting eight defensive stops and four coverage tackles and made two special teams stops in the NFC Divisional Playoff loss to Tampa Bay. Baun led New Orleans with a career-high and team-leading five solo tack-les in Sunday’s season-opening win over Green Bay.

Defensive Back C.J. Gardner-Johnson, Florida (D4-19) Possessing a combination of instincts and speed, this Flori-da native was a solid value in the fourth round after playing in all 13 games with 12 starts for the Gators in 2018, when he posted 71 tackles, three sacks and four interceptions with two brought back for touchdowns. Gardner-Johnson appeared in all 16 contests with seven starts as a rookie in 2019, recording 46 tackles (35 solo), an interception, eight passes defensed, one forced fumble and a fumble recov-ery. He finished the regular season ranked third on the team with 65 stops in 2020.

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE-DEFENSIVE DRAFTS

Cornerback Marshon Lattimore, Ohio State (D1a-17) - The 11th overall selection in the 2017 NFL draft out of Ohio State and the first corner taken possesses all the traits of a lockdown defender. With his agile, fluid style, Lattimore has the ability to shut down the best wide receivers. In 2017 season, he finished with 53 stops, five picks, to lead NFL rookies and the Saints, tying a team rookie record, a club-best 18 passes defensed, a forced fumble and a recovery. Lattimore was the first Saints corner selected to the Pro Bowl since 1995 and was selected as AP Defensive Rook-ie of the Year. His five takeaways (two interceptions and three fumble recoveries) in 2018 led the team, adding two more picks in the NFC Divisional Playoff win. For his efforts in 2019, Lattimore was selected to his second Pro Bowl after posting a club-best 14 passes defensed. In the 2020 regular season, he led the cornerbacks with 63 tackles, two interceptions and ten passes defensed as he was selected to his third Pro Bowl in 2020. Prior to the start of the regular season, Lattimore was signed by the club to a long-term contract extension.

Defensive Tackle David Onyemata, Manitoba (D4-16) - Possessing a unique combination of size and speed, this Nigeria native had an impressive rookie year after becom-ing the first player from the University of Manitoba to be drafted into the NFL. Despite being new to football, the 2016 fourth round draft pick became a critical member on the interior of the Saints defensive front in 2017, playing in all 16 games with six starts, making 40 tackles and two sacks. Onyemata had a career-high 4.5 sacks in 2018, in-cluding a single-game career best three takedowns in at Dallas/ Onyemata provided a punch for the Saints defense, having started all 15 games that he has played in and re-cording 32 stops and three sacks to tie for fourth on the team, while being a key run-stopping cog to the NFL’s fourth-ranked rush defense, being re-signed to a three-year contract. Onyemata in 2020, had 6.5 sacks to ranked third on the team and first among defensive tackles and an inter-ception.

Defensive End Payton Turner, Houston (D1-21) - Se-lected 28th overall in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft, the Texas native comes off a senior campaign where he posted 10.5 tackles for loss and five sacks in only five con-tests. During his four collegiate seasons, Turner notched career totals of 115 tackles (68 solo), ten sacks, 25 tackles for loss, one interception, one forced fumble, ten passes defensed and one blocked punt.

Defensive End Marcus Davenport, Texas-San Antonio (D1-18) - Davenport joined the Saints with the 14th overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft after showing potential

and production as a pass rusher at Texas-San Antonio. In four seasons, Davenport posted 22 sacks, including 8.5 in 2017 when he captured Conference USA Defensive Player of the Year. Davenport’s strength on the line is a valuable asset for the Saints front, playing an important role in the club’s packages in 2018, recording 4.5 sacks. Davenport posted six sacks in 13 games. After missing five games with injuries in 2020, Davenport recorded a sack in Sun-day’s season-opening win over Green Bay.

Free Safety Marcus Williams, Utah (D2-17) - A three-year starter at the University of Utah, Williams was twice named All-Pac 12 and earned second-team All-American as a junior when he tied for second in the conference with five interceptions. The defender boasts a dangerous mix of speed, fluidity, and instinct that allows him to read offenses and make breaks on the football. His athleticism showed in his rookie season in as he made 70 tackles, four intercep-tions and six passes defensed, adding ten more stops (seven solo) and another pick in the postseason. In 2019, he played in all 15 games with 14 starts, posting 52 tackles (35 solo), the team-high four picks, tied for eighth in the National Football League, 13 passes defensed, a forced fumble and two coverage stops. In 2020, he had a club-best-tying three interceptions and recorded a pick in Sun-day’s season-opening win over Green Bay.

Linebacker Pete Werner, Ohio State (D2-21) - New Orle-ans selected this three-year starter from Ohio State to com-pete at the linebacker position. The Indianapolis, Ind. na-tive finished his college career playing in 47 career games with 35 starts, recording 185 tackles (111 solo), 16 stops for loss, four sacks, 11 passes defensed, four forced fum-bles and two fumble recoveries. Werner helped power the Buckeyes to the College Football Playoff championship game as a senior in 2020, when he was voted by Big Ten coaches as a first-team All-Conference selection and a Butkus Award semifinalist, posting 54 tackles, 2.5 stops for loss, one sack and two forced fumbles.

Cornerback P.J. Williams, Florida State (D3b-15) - Wil-liams’ career was initially limited by missing all but two games his first two seasons with a hamstring injury (2015) and a concussion (2016), but he’s rebounded to miss only two games with injury since. An experienced starter from Florida State, who developed into one of the nation’s top cover corners, in 2019, he made 41 stops, a sack, an inter-ception, three passes defensed and one special teams stop, serving as the team’s nickel corner for the second straight season. In the Dec. 22, 2019 win at Tennessee, Williams further showed his versatility by making the switch to safety after Marcus Williams was forced to depart with a groin injury and then starting in Williams’ place in the regu-lar season finale at Carolina. In 2020, Williams posted 37 tackles, a club-best two defensive fumble recoveries,, one interception, two passes defensed and three special teams stops in 15 games.

CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS PAGE-STOPING THE RUN

The Saints produced their most impressive run-stopping effort in several seasons in 2018 and carried it over in 2019 and 2020. In seven straight games in 2018, they didn’t sur-render 100 rushing yards to an opponent for the first time since 2007 and are had a seven-game run in 2020. Below are the longest streaks in team history the defense has gone without surrendering 100 yards.

COVERAGE UNITS

New Orleans’ coverage units are expected to be led in 2021 by CB Paulson Adebo, lLB Zack Baun, LB Kaden Elliss, DB J.T. Gray, WR Ty Montgomery, RB Dwayne Washington and CB P.J. Williams.

Adebo, a third round pick from Stanford, secured no return with a stop on a 59-yard punt by P Blake Gillikin early in the fourth quarter of his NFL preseason debut at Baltimore

Gray led the team in 2019 with 17 stops, blocked a punt and recovered a fumble on a muffed punt as he was select-ed an AP second-team All-Pro. Gray led the team with two stops on Sunday.

A seventh round draft pick of New Orleans in 2019, Elliss’ blue collar mentality has fit in with the coverage units with four stops in 2020.

One of the club’s two third round draft picks in 2020, Baun, a former University of Wisconsin standout, embraced work on the club’s coverage units in 2020 with three stops.

Montgomery, a seven-year NFL veteran, was originally a third round pick of the Packers in 2015 out of Stanford. He can play tailback and wideout and also possesses the abil-ity to return kicks. In Sunday’s opener against Green Bay, Montgomery downed a punt at the Packers five-yard line and had his first career special teams tops.

Washington is a sixth-year NFL veteran who was originally a seventh round draft pick of the Detroit Lions in 2016. In addition to his value in providing dependable depth at the tailback, Washington has excelled on special teams for

New Orleans. In his career, he has posted ten coverage stops, one blocked punt recovery.

Williams, in his seventh season, has continued to add to his versatility the past two seasons, flipping between cor-nerback and free safety on multiple occasions as well as increasing his contributions to the coverage units, where he posted four regular season stops in 2020 and his first post-season coverage tackle in the wild card win over Chicago.

Then he was activated off In-jured Reserve for the NFC Divisional Playoff vs. Tampa Bay, where he recorded three receptions for 85 yards (28.3 avg.) with scoring grabs from both Drew Brees and Jameis Winston.

ADAM TRAUTMAN

• The Saints were pleased to find the 6-5, 253-pound Tra-utman available near the end of the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft and made an aggressive trade up to the 105th pick to add him out of the University of Dayton. A converted high school quarterback, the Michigan native moved to tight end as a freshman developed into one of the top offensive player in NCAA FCS football, where he played in 44 games, recording 178 receptions for 2,295 yards (12.9 avg.) and 31 touchdowns.

MARCUS DAVENPORT

• Trading up to the 14th spot in the 2018 NFL Draft, the Saints addressed the line and the pass rush with this gifted pass rusher, only the second draft choice ever from Texas-San Antonio. During four college seasons, Davenport notched totals of 186 tackles (97 solo), 22 sacks, 38 tack-les for loss, six forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, one returned for a touchdown and eight passes defensed, fin-ishing his career as the school’s all-time leader for stops for loss, takedowns and quarterback hurries (21). In 13 games as a rookie, Davenport posted 22 tackles (12 solo), four sacks, two passes defensed and one forced fumble. He served as a solid bookend opposite Jordan in 2019, start-ing all 12 games before being placed on Injured Reserve and posting 29 stops, six sacks and four forced fumbles.

JORDAN SACK NOTES

VERSATILE DEFENDER

DURABLE DEFENDER

35


• After recovering from toe and elbow injuries at the start of the 2020 season, Davenport made an impact in 11 con-tests with one start with 22 tackles, 1.5 sacks and two passes defense. This positive trend continued with a sack in the season-opening win over Green Bay.

CARL GRANDERSON

•Signed by New Orleans as an undrafted free agent out of Wyoming, Granderson posted 17.5 career sacks in college and possesses the perfect body type for a pass rusher. As a rookie, Granderson appeared in eight regular season contests, posting ten tackles and one sack as he moved into the defensive line rotation in December and is ex-pected to see more action in 2020. In 2020, Granderson added 11 tackles, five sacks, ranked fourth on the team, a club-best two forced fumbles and one pass defensed as he has seen more extensive time in the club’s defensive line rotation as his game experience has continued to increase.

TANOH KPASSAGNON

• Kpassagnon joined the Saints via unrestricted free agen-cy in the offseason, looking to bring his size, speed and athleticism to one of the most productive lines in the NFL. Formerly a second round draft choice in the 2017 NFL Draft (59th overall) out of Villanova by Kansas City, Kpas-sagnon spent his first four seasons developing into a pass rushing presence along the Chiefs front. He started 15-of-16 games for Kansas City in 2020, recording 28 tackles (20 solo), one sack and three passes defensed while starting all three postseason contests with five tackles (one solo), one sack and one pass defense in the Chiefs’ run to Super Bowl LV. For his career, the fifth-year pro has appeared in 61 regular season games with 24 starts, recording 74 tack-les (51 solo), seven sacks, five passes defensed, one fum-ble recovery, one forced fumble, one special teams stop and a blocked field goal. Kpassagnon has also started six-of-eight postseason contests, posting ten tackles (seven solo), three sacks and two passes defensed.

• In his Saints debut, Kpassagnon’s sack/forced fumble recovered by Kaden Elliss at the New Orleans two-yard line in the fourth quarter against Green Bay, would keep the Packers out of the end zone for the season-opening win.

DEMARIO DAVIS

• This dependable and sure-tackling defender joined the Saints after a breakout 2017, where he started 16 games for the Jets. Davis posted a team-high and career-high 165 tackles (112 solo) and a career-best five sacks. For his ca-reer, the Brandon, Miss. native has appeared in 145 games with 131 starts for the Jets (2012-15, 2017), Cleveland (2016) and Saints, recording 1004 tackles (664 solo), 26.5 sacks, two interceptions, 38 passes defensed, three forced

fumbles, five fumble recoveries and 24 special team stops.

• In 2018, Davis opened all 16 contests and led the team with 110 stops (74 solo), five sacks to lead the linebackers, four passes defensed, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery. Davis’ abilities to diagnose and tackle played a key role in New Orleans ranking second in the NFL in op-ponent rushing yards per game and opponent rushing yards per play. Participating in the postseason for the first time, Davis led the defense with 22 stops (15 solo), an in-terception in the NFC Championship and a pass defense. In 2019, he posted 111 stops, ranked first on the club, four sacks, one interception and 11 passes defensed to help spur the league’s fourth-ranked run defense.

KWON ALEXANDER • A fourth round draft pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2015, this former LSU standout has recorded 494 tackles (349 solo), 9.5 sacks, seven interceptions, 27 passes de-fensed, ten forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries. Acquired by New Orleans at midseason from San Francis-co in 2020, Alexander immediately moved into the starting lineup where he posted 26 tackles (15 solo), four passes defensed, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. Following an ardent rehab from an Achilles injury suffered in Week 16, Alexander re-signed with the club in training camp to futher help fortify the position.

LINEBACKERS

36


ZACK BAUN

• An athletic, sideline to sideline linebacker, possessing the rare combination of pass rush skills and the ability to drop in coverage. After a stellar college career at Wisconsin, Baun played in 15 regular season games in 2020, with three starts at strongside linebacker, posting eight tackles (three solo) and four special teams stops. Overall in his college career, he played in 39 games with 27 starts, all which took place in his final two seasons, recording 154 tackles, 30.5 stops for loss, 15 sacks, two interceptions and three forced fumbles.

• Baun took advantage of a conventional training camp and preseason to gain strength and knowledge of the defense, which was on display when he led the team with five solo tackles in the season opening win vs. Green Bay.

KADEN ELLISS

• Kaden Elliss was selected by the Saints with their second of two seventh round draft choices (244th overall) in the 2019 NFL Draft out of Idaho. Elliss is a strong, athletic play-er with coverage, pass rush and run-stopping abilities who bounced back after missing the majority of the 2019 cam-paign rehabbing a knee injury. In 2020, he appeared in 15 games and two postseason contests on special teams re-cording five special teams stops. The son of former Nation-al Football League standout Luther Elliss, he will look to play a bigger role for New Orleans in 2021 utilizing his strength, speed and size. In the season opening win over Green Bay, Elliss’s adept fumble recovery in the fourth quarter at the New Orleans two-yard line would keep the Packers out of the end zone for the contest.

2 Jameis Winston Pos.: QB Ht.: 6-4 Wt.: 231 Exp.: 7 College: Florida State Regular Season Career GP/GS (77/71): 2021:(1/1) 2021 REVIEW: vs. Green Bay (9/12): Made his first start for the Saints and passed for 148 yards on 14-of-20 passing with a 130.8 quarterback rating. Winston threw 5 touchdown passes, with a long of 55 yards on a touchdown pass to Deonte Harris. His five touchdown passes tied a career high from when he threw five touchdowns against the Eagles (11/22/15) as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaners. He also finished with 37 rushing yards on six attempts. Winston earned his first victory as the starting quarterback for the black and gold. In his first start with the Saints, Winston became the third player since 1950 to throw for five touchdowns in his first start with a team, finishing 14-of-20 for 148 yards and the five touchdowns. Winston’s 148 passing yards is the fewest yards with five passing touchdowns since 1948. With zero interceptions, Winston becomes the first quarterback in NFL history to throw five touchdown passes with no interceptions in his first career start with a new team in a season-opener. Overall, Winston becomes the 7th quarterback with five touchdown passes and no interceptions in a season opener, and first since Baltimore QB Lamar Jackson did so at Miami on September 8, 2019. Winston became the 33rd player to start a game at quarterback for New Orleans, and the 11th to win in his first start. The victory is Winston’s third career opening day victory and his first career win over Green Bay. CAREER HIGHS: Attempts — 58, vs. L.A. Rams (9/25/16); Completions — 36 ,vs .L.A. Rams (9/25/16); Completion Pct. — 80.0 (16-for-20), at Chicago (9/30/18); Passing Yards — 458, at Detroit (12/15/19); Long Pass — 71, at Atlanta (11/24/19); Interceptions — 5, vs. Carolina (10/13/19); Passing TDs — 5 (2x), vs. Green Bay (9/12/21) and at Philadelphia (11/22/15); Passer Rating — 131.6, at Philadelphia (11/22/15); Rushes — 10, vs. Cleveland (10/21/18); Rushing Yards — 55, vs. Cleveland (10/21/18); Long Rush — 26, vs. Arizona (11/10/19); Rushing TDs — 1 (10x), last vs. Indianapolis (12/8/19).

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS VS GREEN BAY PACKERS SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2021 ● TIAA BANK FIELD (JACKSONVILLE, FL.)

SAINTS POSTGAME NOTES

With the win, the Saints open the season 1-0 and win their third consecutive season opener for the third time in franchise history. The Saints return to action next Sunday, September 19 at the Carolina Panthers. Kickoff is set for 12:00 PM CT at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, NC.

With the win, New Orleans improves its all-time record to 20-35 in season openers and claim their third consecutive season opening victory for the first time since the 2008-2010 seasons. New Orleans all-time record against Green Bay improves to 10-17.

Jacksonville’s TIAA Bank Field became the seventh site at which the Saints have hosted a home game, joining Tulane Stadium (23-32-1), the Caesers Superdome (185-167), Giants Stadium (0-1), San Antonio’s Alamodome (1-2), Baton Rouge’s Tiger Stadium (0-4), and London’s Wembley Stadium (1-0), and the fifth site the Saints have won a home game.

The victory is the Saints’ first opening day victory away from the Caesers Superdome since defeating the Cleveland Browns 19-14 on September 10, 2006 in Cleveland Browns Stadium.

The opening day win is the eighth of HC Sean Payton’s career, whose opening day record improves to 8-7. With the win, Payton’s record against Green Bay improves to 5-2.

The victory is the 153rd of Payton’s career, moving him into a tie for 23rd all-time with former New York Giants coach Steve Owen.

The victory is Payton’s first over Packers HC Matt LaFleur, making LaFleur the 72nd opposing coach Payton has defeated in his career. Payton improves his record against LaFleur to 1-1 all-time, and now has a .500 or better record against 63 of the 83 opposing coaches he has faced.

Offensively, New Orleans amassed 322 total yards, including 171 yards rushing and 151 yards passing. New Orleans recorded five passing touchdowns for the first time since December 8, 2019, when Drew Brees recorded five passing touchdowns in a 48-46 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.

The Saints scored their first touchdown of the game completing a 15-play, 76-yard drive and second touchdown of the game completing a 15-play, 80-yard drive. Those drives marked the first time since September 17, 2000 that any NFL team recorded two consecutive touchdown drives of at least 15 plays, when Minnesota recorded touchdown drives of 17 plays and 18 plays against New England.

Defensively, New Orleans held Green Bay to 229 total yards, including 43 rushing yards and 186 yards passing. New Orleans held Green Bay to just three points, marking the third time in the Saints’ last ten games that they’ve held an opponent to three points (also doing so on November 29, 2020 at Denver and November 8, 2020 at Tampa Bay).

The 35-point margin of victory is the Saints largest since defeating Tampa Bay by the same score, 38-3, on November 8, 2020.

In his first start with the Saints, QB Jameis Winston became the third player since 1950 to throw for five touchdowns in his first start with a team, finishing 14-of-20 for 148 yards and the five touchdowns. Winston’s 148 passing yards is the fewest yards with five passing touchdowns since 1948.

With zero interceptions, Winston becomes the first quarterback in NFL history to throw five touchdown passes with no interceptions in his first career start with a new team in a season-opener. Overall, Winston becomes the 7th quarterback with five touchdown passes and no interceptions in a season opener, and first since Baltimore QB Lamar Jackson did so at Miami on September 8, 2019.

Winston recorded five touchdown passes for the second time in his career. Winston finished 19-of-29 for 246 yards and five touchdowns as a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on November 22, 2015 at Philadelphia.

Winston became the 33rd player to start a game at quarterback for New Orleans, and the 11th to win in his first start. The victory is Winston’s third career opening day victory and his first career win over Green Bay,

RB Alvin Kamara rushed for 83 yards on 20 carries, and now stands at 3,423 career rushing yards, surpassing Chuck Muncie and Rueben Mayes for sixth in the Saints’ record books. Kamara added three receptions for eight yards and a receiving touchdown, surpassing Pierre Thomas for the seventh-most receptions in club record books and the most receptions all-time for a Saints running back.

TE Juwan Johnson recorded the first two touchdowns of his career, finishing with a career-high three receptions for a career-best 21 yards, and the two scores.

WR Deonte Harris recorded the best receiving game of his career, finishing with two receptions for a career high 72 receiving yards including a 55-yard touchdown catch from Winston with 10:55 to play in the game, the longest completion of the game.

In his second career game, RB Tony Jones Jr. recorded 11 rushes for 50 yards and added a three-yard reception. Jones’ 4.5 yards per carry led Saints running backs.

In his first game with New Orleans, WR Chris Hogan caught a 10-yard touchdown pass from Winston with 3:14 to play in the third quarter, his first touchdown since December 16, 2018, as a member of the New England Patriots. Hogan’s touchdown reception was his lone catch of the game.

DE Marcus Davenport recorded the 13th sack of his career, taking down Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers with 12:53 to play in the second quarter. Davenport finished with three tackles, including two for loss, and added a quarterback hit in the game.

In his first game with New Orleans, DE Tanoh Kpassagnon forced a fumble of Green Bay QB Jordan Love with 1:10 to play in the game, his first sack since Week 7 of last season, as a member of the Kansas City Chiefs. Kpassagnon finished with two tackles, the sack, forced fumble, and added two quarterback hits.

LB Zach Baun led all New Orleans’ defenders with five tackles, setting a new career-high in the first game of his second season in the NFL.

In his first NFL game, CB Paulson Adebo recorded his first career interception, and added three tackles and one pass defense. Adebo becomes the first Saint to record an interception in his NFL debut since LB James Allen did so on September 8, 2002 at Tampa Bay.

S Marcus Williams recorded his 14th career interception, picking off Rodgers with 4:51 to play in the third quarter, and breaking a tie with Mike McKenzie and Fred Thomas for sole possession of tenth place in club record books.

Williams has now recorded a pick in each of the last three Saints’ season openers. Beginning his 13th NFL season, S Malcolm Jenkins entered the game needing a single

tackle to reach 1,250 career defensive and special team tackles. Jenkins’ three tackles in the game moves his career total to 1,252 total tackles.

DE Cameron Jordan played in his 161st consecutive regular season game and started his 146th career game, both current long streaks for an NFL defender. Jordan recorded two quarterback hits in the game.

In his Saints debut, K Aldrick Rosas was perfect, converting his lone field goal attempt of 44 yards and converting 5-of-5 extra point attempts.

In his NFL debut, P Blake Gillikin averaged 51.5 yards on two punts, including a long punt of 58 yards and one downed on the Green Bay 5-yard line.

The Saints extend their streak to 305 regular season games without being shut out, the longest such running streak in the NFL and fourth longest all-time. The streak dates back to September 6, 2002 when New Orleans defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 26-20 at Raymond James Stadium.

GREEN BAY PACKERS VS. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2021 ● TIAA BANK FIELD (JACKSONVILLE, FL.)

NEW ORLEANS SAINTS QUOTES

New Orleans Saints Head Coach Sean Payton Opening Statement: “I felt like it was a good win for us. This early in the season I thought we played a really good, complementary game. Time of possession, rushing yards, all the numbers we talk about when you look at the call sheet at the end of the game and all three units were really good. I am sure when we watch the tape there will be a bunch of things that we have to get cleaned up because early in the season all of these teams, us included, are in a race to get better. But I was proud of how they played, I thought we were physical and played with a lot of energy.”

On if there was a plan to get more physical: “There’s never a football plan that doesn’t involve trying to be physical. You never go in saying we’re not, it’s the first game of the season so will look at our pad level on tape but I thought we won some of the key numbers, particularly the rushing numbers and there are a lot of things that go along with that, time of possession, time your defense is on the field versus the offense. We just handled a lot of those things well.”

On Jameis Winston’s decision-making in the first half: “Those were big plays that ultimately helped us with the first field goal. I thought he played very well. He was locked in, focused, we spread the ball around and we’re going to go through that tape and look at some of the throws and there might be a progression or two but I thought he played very well.”

On the team having to relocate due to Hurricane Ida: “Honestly, I mean this with all due respect that no one really cares. When you get relocated and all those other things those are just exit opportunities. We try to do our best organizationally and one of the game balls went out to all the people that are involved in the logistics. There’s so much that goes into equipment, hotel planning, and all of that, and the main goal is to create an environment where all of the other distractions are removed and you can focus on football. Those people did a really good job in the past two weeks.”

On seeing what he expected today: “As a coach, it is hard to understand or predict how that first week will go. You get ready for the start of the season and have an idea on areas that you feel like are going to play well but you are still wanting to see how we do as a unit. I was encouraged. I loved our energy.”

On if there were any surprises: “Doing this as long as I have, there’s nothing that surprises you. We knew we were playing one of the best teams in our league, last year a final four team. It’s hard to go into a game and say this is the outcome that we are expecting. You just want to go in and put yourself in a position to win and do the things necessary and really not do the things that keep you from winning so I was encouraged with that.”

On playing complementary football and energy: “I felt like we have seen that in the last two and half years really. That confidence has continued, and those guys feed off of their energy. On the sideline I felt like units were feeding off of each other and that’s when you have a chance to have a decent football team.”

On the defensive performance: “Look, we’re playing, if you went back and read the reports, one of the top third down teams and one of the top overall total offensive teams. There’s so many things that they have been able to do well. Those guys on the backend played exceptionally well. I thought we rushed them, contained the rush, we got some turnovers and we did it against one of the better quarterbacks that this league has seen in a long time.”

On the fourth-and-seven decision in the second quarter: “You have to pick your spots where you want to be aggressive and it’s a little bit easier on that end of the field even though, call it the 40, I felt pretty good about the calls we had. Sometimes in a game you want to use a call and you’ve already used it but I felt pretty good about what we had.”

On the decision to throw the screen to Juwan Johnson on it: “We saw a little adjustment they made with a formation and we kind of gave them the same formation. This was a year ago off of a Rams film. So it’s kind of out there but we got a similar look and we just kind of left a really good opportunity for us to throw a screen over to Juwan.”

On if he gets excited about a particular call: “The ones that work, I get excited about those.”

On choosing the location to relocate the home game to: “We felt like the hotter the better, and it’s no disrespect but let’s just say this game was in the winter time and the circumstances were flipped you’d get a team like Chicago, Cleveland finding cold weather against a team that plays in a dome so we appreciate that we had this. The surface was great, the people of Jacksonville were great.”

On the significance of Hurricane Ida’s impact: “Oh, absolutely. I was answering that question relative to our challenges. The challenges back home are far greater than our team getting on a plane and playing an away game or having to relocate. The challenges back home are far more significant.”



New Orleans Saints QB Jameis Winston On what this performance meant to the city of New Orleans: “We did that for them. We knew how much it would mean to get a victory. They’ve been through so much, and for us to celebrate this victory with them is amazing. Hats off to (the people of New Orleans) for their resilience. They inspired us to go out there and ball.”

On how important it was to take what the defense was giving him: “Drew (Brees) always preached that “it’s about the decision, not the result”. Sometimes the decision is throwing the ball away, sometimes the decision is tucking it and running, and sometimes the decision is to take a sack. The more times we make the right decisions, the game will take care of itself.”

On his fifth touchdown pass to Deonte Harris: “When Sean (Payton) called that play, I told him I was going to throw it (to Harris). I was on Deonte all day, “keep your speed, it is going to come”. Sean called an amazing game. The offensive line did an excellent job. With the way we dominated the line of scrimmage and the running game, I knew it (deep ball) was eventually going to come. It was open, and we hit it.”

On what the last 24 hours was like preparing for his first start as a member of the New Orleans Saints: “We were prepared. That was the message today. My trainer texted me this morning that “pressure is for the unprepared”. I think that one thing we consistently did as a unit with Sean and with Jay Romig, along with our entire organization, is that despite the adversity of being in Dallas and all that we’re dealing with at home, our mindset stayed the same. We prepared to play against Green Bay and prepared to play the best football that we could, and we did that.”

On if he has reflected on his journey to finally be an National Football League starter again: “Coach says all the time that we’re in a race to get better. We are going to celebrate this game today, but there are people dealing with way worse than me right now. There are still people in Louisiana without power. I’ll probably reflect on it after our season is over, but right now we have to keep getting better. There’s some things that I won’t like when I watch the film tonight, so we still have to get better.”

On the performance of tight end Juwan Johnson: “I was excited, man. I told him that was from countless hours of working together in the offseason and building a rapport. He showed up today. I told him before the game, “when you’re in the game, I’m going to be throwing you the ball”. I think he did a good job of going up and making some big catches for us. It was really a great team effort. We had some people stand out, but our defense was outstanding. When you hold Aaron Rodgers to 1-10 on third down, that’s just incredible. Our offensive line dominated the line of scrimmage. When you’re able to hold one of the top offenses from last year to 3 possessions in a half, that’s the type of stuff we preach about doing: dominating the line of scrimmage and playing complimentary football. That’s how you win football games.”

On Johnson’s first TD catch: “One thing in the red zone we focus on is giving our guys a chance. We preach that all the time. We have guys that can go up and attack the ball. He did a great job of not only catching the ball but coming down in bounds. That is kudos to him, but it doesn’t start without the great protection and great play calling. Sean trusted in us to convert a fourth down on that drive. That’s who he is. That is one of the most exciting parts for me, is finally having a chance to play for Sean Payton.”

On the fourth down play call in the first half: “Well, I had a feeling what play he (Coach Payton) was going to go with. I told him I really didn’t want to come off the field, but that’s just who coach is. Before the game I told him it was a privilege to finally hear his voice on the (helmet) mic. We have to keep getting better and we’re going to keep growing. It was a great complementary win today.”

On how Coach Payton and the team has handled being in Dallas: “We know Sean is a great leader. We have a great team. This organization is unbelievable. Jay Romig’s planning and ability to handle logistics. I want to give a shoutout to our equipment staff for being able to manage all of the moving. This was like a home game for us. We had everything set up perfectly. I also want to give a shoutout to Mrs. Benson. The way she invests in us and provides an opportunity for us to grow. For none of us to ever have any worries says a lot about this organization. Like Demario (Davis) says, it starts with the leadership of Sean and him always being able to adapt to situations. It also starts with us (players) believing in Sean and believing in the people this organization has put in place to do their job. I can’t forget about Derek (Stamnos) too. We have great people working every single day while we’re playing to make our lives easier.”

On if he had any particular play he was excited about coming into today’s game: “One play that I was really looking at and visualizing was on the first drive where we did a double move with Deonte (Harris). I visualized and dreamed about throwing a touchdown on that play. I was able to scramble and get a first down. They were playing soft coverage, but with the way that play worked in practice, we thought we wouldn’t call

that play. It was only in that situation on fourth down where we might have called it because it was such a great call. Sean Payton did what Sean Payton does.”

On the confidence he had in the play called by Payton on fourth and seven in the first half: “I trust Sean wholeheartedly. Anytime he’s speaking to me and talking about details, I tell him “Coach, I trust you. We are always going to rock with you”. With the specific look on that play with them playing a soft zone coverage, screens are very good against that. We had Za’Darius Smith on Juwan (Johnson), so we knew there was going to be a good rush. We set him up and Juwan slipped right in. The offensive line did a great job of building a wall for him to get behind and he did a great job to pick up that extra yardage.”



Green Bay Packers Matt LaFleur On his reaction to the 38-3 loss to the New Orelans Saints: “They came ready to play and absolutely embarrassed us today. You can’t do that against a well-coached and quality football team. Our guys will have to take a hard look in the mirror. It starts with myself. Obviously, (we) did not get these guys ready to play ball and that is what happens when you go out there and play like that against a good football team. So, give the Saints all the credit. They came ready to play, had a great plan and executed.”

On Aaron Rodger’s first interception with pressure in his face:” No, he threw to the right guy. Davante (Adams) was open. He threw to the right guy. He got pressure what I thought was on the right side. They got him off the spot and he had to make an off-balance throw and sometimes that happens.”

On if this performance was a shock considering how well things have looked in practice: “I’d say so. Yeah absolutely. It’s very humbling to say the least.”

On what you tell the guys back in the locker room after this loss: “We will find out what we are all about. We talk about in the face of adversity stand together and not flinching. That’s exactly what we have to do, and we have to get back to work. This isn’t going to magically repair itself. The only way that I believe you bounce back from any defeat or setback, whether it’s in football or life, is you put in the work and that’s what we have to do.”

On what was lacking in the execution of today’s gameplan: “You got to start with looking at your plan for what you had for them. I would say that’s where we start and then how well did we execute the plays and were there opportunities to be made within those plays. Obviously, we didn’t execute. But I think we’re all going to start and look at the plan first.”

On the struggles of the offensive line and what they will do moving forward: “It felt like until that moment, the protection was pretty decent. I’ll have to go back and look at it. A lot of times my eyes aren’t focused on the rush, but it wasn’t good enough. We didn’t run the ball good enough or even attempt to run the ball enough and that’s my fault.

On his take of the roughing the passer call on Jameis Winston on 4th down: “You trying to get me in trouble?”

On if he felt that due to the hurricane disaster that happened down in New Orleans led the Saints to come out with more intensity: “They obviously came out with a lot more intensity than we did. They were the hungrier team and that’s disappointing. Especially when you have a team, we feel like we have. But ultimately, I did a bad job of getting these guys ready to play. “

On the difference of how well Aaron Rodger’s looked in camp and his underwhelming performance today against the Saints: “You know Pete, until I go back and look at it, I don’t have many answers for you in regard to whether we had guys open. I think they had a nice plan. You could tell that they were going to play a lot of 2-man coverages to take away Davante Adams and some of the other weapons. When you have teams that are going to do that to you, you better be able to run the football. We didn’t attempt to run the football much and that’s my fault ultimately as the play-caller.

GREEN BAY PACKERS VS. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 2021 ● TIAA BANK FIELD

QUARTERBACK AARON RODGERS

(On today’s game): “It’s just one game. We played bad. I played bad. Offensively, we didn’t execute very well. It’s one game. We have 16 to go. We’ll evaluate the film like we always do. We will be critical, and we’ll move on.”

(On the Saints defense): “When a team is going to play that much two show, then you have to be able to run the ball. We didn’t run it that effectively. I think we came in thinking that they were going to pressure us a bunch like they did last time. We had some different skill guys this time, so they did not pressure us a lot. It was a lot of two show and they kind of held up with their front four or their front six.”

(On the second interception) “On the second one, we were kind of backed up I had Davante (Adams) on a high split running a cut corner. I felt like that was going to hold the safety. We had kind of set up that play for a while. It was that combination where they were play a triangle combination on the two receivers to the strong side. I didn’t get my eyes back to the safety. On my initial look, I thought I was holding the back side. Davante was inside, so I thought he was going to hang back a little more. The first one was kind of the play of the game that swung things big time. It was 17-3. If we score there, then it is 17-10. I probably should have thrown it to (Aaron) Jones and moved on to third down. Pre-snap, I was thinking about giving Davante a different route. I stepped up in the pocket and took a shot as I was throwing it. I wish I would have thrown that one away or thrown it to Jonesy right way. Obviously, that changed the game.”

(On the offensive line’s play) “I though the line played good. I thought they held up good. I thought Josh (Myers) did a nice job with variance of cadence that we did. I thought he played well. We’ll see what the film says. I thought him and Royce did a nice job. Protection overall was pretty good. I had given them a sack there on a keeper in the first half. Other than that, I thought the protection was pretty good.”

(On the challenges of playing in Jacksonville) “I felt like our energy was a little bit low. It felt a little San Diegoish from a couple of years ago. We just kind of needed something to get going. It was kind of the same thing. Long drives on their side and us not executing. We had 10 playsish there. We were down 17-0 and we are in two minute mode on our third drive of the first half. Very disjointed possesion-wise. We have been in games like that before We had one like that against Minnesota where it was limited possessions in the first half, but I think we scored on all those possessions, so that one felt better obviously than this one did.”

(On if the heat was a factor): “We say there are no coincidences in life, so I don’t think I can sluf it off as a coincidence. We traveled down here. It was hot, but we traveled down here in 2016 and it wasn’t as hot as it was that day, so the heat shouldn’t have been an issue for us. We just did not execute very well.”

(On if they thought they were going to move the ball) “We probably felt like we were going to go up and down the field on whoever they had out there. That obviously wasn’t the case today. I give Dennis Allen a lot of credit. I have always thought he was a great defensive mind. They had a good plan. It was to play a lot of two show and slow us down with the front. They did a good job of that.”

(On their offense) “Coming off a couple of NFC Championship games we feel good about the unit we have on offense. This is a good kick in the you know where. Hopefully, it will get us going in the right direction, by going home and playing a division opponent next week.”

(On if he anticipated this) “I don’t know that you do. There’s not much that you can say. They beat us. They played way better than us. We played bad. I played bad. It was uncharacteristic of how we practiced in training camp. This is hopefully an outlier moving forward. We will find out next week.”
