A lot of criticism is coming down on Saints offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael after a dismal performance for the Black and Gold offense on Saturday as New Orleans lost its second straight, a 26 to 9 defeat to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Coach Dennis Allen said there are no plans to make any coaching changes.

Quarterback Derek Carr is also not playing well as he threw for only 127 yards in yesterday’s loss…

The Saints have been held to 21 points or less in ten consecutive games, dating back to last year. New Orleans is at New England this Sunday. The Patriots are 1-and-3 after getting crushed by the Cowboys in Dallas, 38 to 3.

The Pelicans begin training camp tomorrow. At media day today, Zion Williamson said during the offseason he worked on being unguardable.

Following Saturday’s disappointing loss to Ole Miss, LSU fell 10 spots in the AP Top 25 poll to number 23. The Tigers are now 3-2 overall, 2-1 in the SEC.

Kelly has confirmed they’ve hired former LSU defensive line coach Pete Jenkins as an analyst. This would be Jenkins fourth stint with LSU. He was at LSU in the 1980s, with Nick Saban when he got hired at LSU and Ed Orgeron also had Jenkins as his defensive line coach when he got the job.
