Mickey Loomis responds to Gayle Benson. What changes for the Saints?

Nick Underhill reports from the Saints' week in France, then plays and reacts to Mickey Loomis' first comments since Gayle Benson's remarks about the team's results. He examines the defense's returning players, Kellen Moore's commitment to the run, Tyler Shough's development and the Saints' slow starts.

The Saints are preparing in France for their game against Pittsburgh. Nick Underhill looks at what Kaden Elliss' return could mean for the defense and why Martin Emerson deserves a larger role. He then examines whether Kellen Moore will stick with the run and play action, plays Mickey Loomis' response to Gayle Benson's comments and discusses what the organization needs to change. Loomis also addresses the team's rebuilding process, Tyler Shough, Jordyn Tyson and the finish to the last game. The Get Gordon question asks how the Saints' offensive and defensive slow starts affect each other.
