Spencer Rattler named Saints QB1, the 53-man roster, LSU and Tulane football on Ep. 408


Spencer Rattler has been named starting quarterback for the New Orleans Saints, and the drama finally is over. Or is it? Does that tough early stretch of schedule play a role into the decision made by Coach Kellen Moore?

Host Jim Derry asks a guy who covered the team for many years what he thinks, as longtime New Orleans broadcast journalist Eric Richey joins Wednesday’s Dattitude Podcast (Ep. 408) presented by Evangeline Securities. Also, we talk about the other cuts the team made and the surprises on the “final” 53-man roster.

Gabe Henderson is here to talk about LSU, as we ask, “How hot will the Brian Kelly’s seat be if the Tigers lose the opener to Clemson?” And how important is it that Tulane is a favorite over a power-conference team for the first time in many decades?

Dattitude premiered in September 2021 to cover what’s important to sports fans in south Louisiana. While we focus on the Saints, we also talk plenty about the Pelicans, LSU, Tulane, prep, sports betting, fantasy sports, and all the big-time sports events happening in and around New Orleans. 

Host Jim Derry brings more than 33 years of experience covering sports in the region, and he’ll “always tell you the way it is…or at least the way he thinks it is.”
