Saints Notes and Storylines for Week 16

RATTLER UP: Spencer Rattler will get his first start since Week 8 against the Chargers, and he's learned plenty since that time. In relief last week against the Commanders, he certainly provided a spark for the Saints offense. Now, we'll see what he can do with the first-team offense from start to finish. He should get a full game for New Orleans.
RUNNING ATTACK: With no Alvin Kamara, the Saints are expected to use a committe approach for their rushing attack. It will feature Kendre Miller, but should have Jamaal Williams and Jordan Mims in the mix as well. Miller was a huge part of the final offensive drive last week and has a really big opportunity in the spotlight.
RIZZI RESUME: If Darren Rizzi wants to make a real big name for himself in the coaching department, then beating the Packers would go a really long way. New Orleans is a heavy underdog in this game, and it's going to take perfect execution in all three phases on the game to even get close to pulling off an upset. A loss wouldn't count him out, but this is simply a game where a lot of eyes are on him, including a potential future head coach.

I officially started covering the New Orleans Saints & other NFL topics in 2011. My work has been featured on various outlets over the years. I worked closely with Skyhorse Publishing in Fall 2018 to update the book, Tales From the New Orleans Saints Sidelines, which filled in all Saints material from the 2013-2017 seasons. Prior to joining Saints News Network, I served as the Managing Editor of SB Nation's Canal Street Chronicles for 3.5 years, and before that with FanSided's Who Dat Dish as the Managing Editor for several years. I have also had experiences of being a freelance Saints reporter for The Sun Herald in Biloxi, MS and a contributing writer for WDSU, a local NBC TV station in New Orleans. I have appeared on a vast amount of TV and Radio shows, both nationally and locally. For tips, comments, or suggestions, please contact me at johnhendrix@saintsnews.net
