Bob Rose of New Orleans Saints On SI discusses the changes in the Saints since the dismissal of Dennis Allen, noting an increase in team intensity and a more aggressive approach under special teams coordinator Rizzi.

He highlights tackling issues as a significant problem for the Saints' defense, alongside a lack of a strong presence in the middle, leading to vulnerabilities against the run.

Quarterback Derek Carr has been inconsistent but is expected to remain with the team, while Spencer Rattler's development raises questions about his future as a reliable backup.

Concerns arise for the Saints in their upcoming matchup against the Giants, particularly regarding their defensive performance against talented opponents.

Gayle Benson and the New Orleans Saints have honored Jahri Evans, one of the franchise's all-time greats, by enshrining him in the team's Ring of Honor. Evans, a standout guard from 2006 to 2016, was praised by former quarterback Drew Brees as the 'cornerstone' of the offensive line.

His exceptional play alongside Carl Nicks created a legendary guard duo that remains unmatched. As the Saints look to develop new talent like Trevor Penning and Taliese Fuaga, Evans' legacy continues to influence the franchise.

The NFL's enforcement of penalties has seen multiple players fined for actions against the Cincinnati Bengals, with Las Vegas Raiders' Maxx Crosby receiving an $11,255 fine for a late hit on Joe Burrow. This incident marks the fourth financial penalty involving Bengals players this season.

Among teams, the Miami Dolphins and New Orleans Saints lead with 14 fines each, while the Bengals have four. Notably, players like Chauncey Gardner-Johnson and Brian Branch have been fined the most, each with four infractions.

Week 7 of the NFL season saw a notable decline in fantasy production, with injuries impacting several teams. Despite this, the Denver Broncos' offensive line excelled against the New Orleans Saints, achieving impressive grades in both pass and run blocking.

Conversely, the Saints struggled significantly, particularly on the edges, contributing to their poor performance. As teams prepare for Week 8, fantasy managers are advised to explore waiver wire options to bolster their rosters.

Sean Payton's NFL career has faced challenges since his departure from the New Orleans Saints after the 2021 season. After a year away, he was traded to the Denver Broncos in 2023, but his partnership with quarterback Russell Wilson struggled. Now, Payton is working with rookie Bo Nix in the competitive AFC West.

The Saints, under Dennis Allen, have also had a tough time, with a record of 27-30 since 2022 and inconsistent quarterback play. As they prepare to face the Broncos, both teams are looking to stay relevant in the league.

Key matchups include Saints tight end Juwan Johnson against Broncos safety Brandon Jones, and Broncos offensive tackle Frank Crum facing Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan. The game promises to be a test for both teams, especially with injuries impacting the Saints' lineup.

The prediction leans towards the Broncos, given the Saints' current struggles and injuries, with a final score forecast of Broncos 24, Saints 15.
