Kellen Moore Speaks Out: Saints Face Major Secondary Crisis After Latest Injury!
The New Orleans Saints are facing a critical situation in their defense after another key injury left them with a massive hole in their secondary. Kellen Moore, the offensive coordinator for the Dallas Cowboys, didn’t mince words when commenting on the Saints’ vulnerable position following the injury, pointing out that the team’s secondary could be exposed moving forward.
“It’s a huge blow for the Saints,” Moore said in a recent interview. “When you lose a player of that caliber in the secondary, it changes everything. You’re facing teams with explosive offenses, and now the Saints are going to have to adjust their whole defensive game plan.”
The Saints' secondary, which has already been inconsistent at times, now faces the daunting task of filling the void left by the injury. Moore’s comments come at a time when the team is already struggling to maintain defensive consistency against high-powered offenses.
While the Saints still have a solid defensive line, Moore highlighted that their ability to handle top-tier quarterbacks and wide receivers will now be more difficult than ever. The injury could prove to be a game-changer in the Saints’ defensive scheme, and it’s unclear how they’ll manage in the coming weeks.
“Defenses are built from the back end up, and the secondary is where everything starts,” Moore continued. “The Saints have some work to do to make up for this loss, and it won’t be easy.”
As the Saints prepare for the rest of the season, all eyes will be on their secondary. Can they fill the gap and continue their playoff push, or will this injury be the undoing of their defense?
Dodgers Predicted to Sign Top MLB Free Agent After 2025 Season
Los Angeles Dodgers president of baseball operations Andrew Friedman
The Los Angeles Dodgers have notoriously been one of the top spenders in MLB for several years now. They showed that at the beginning of 2025, they signed many top free agents to improve their roster.
However, that has not led them to become the juggernaut team many analysts and executives thought they would be. Los Angeles is 79-64 and will likely not reach the 90-win mark with just 20 games left this regular season.
Whatever the Dodgers do in the postseason, one MLB Insider believes they will sign the top free agent after 2025.
Dodgers Predicted to Sign Kyle Tucker
The Chicago Cubs’ slugger is having a rough last two months of the season, but is still considered the top free agent.
USA Today’s Bob Nightengale believes it will be to the Los Angeles Dodgers:
“Rival executives still believe he’ll be the highest-paid player in free agency,” Bob Nightengale reported Monday. “Their prediction where he’ll land? The Dodgers, who badly could use outfield help.”
The Dodgers could use outfield help, but signing Tucker to say, $400 million would put them far over the luxury tax. But it would address a much-needed positional issue. Los Angeles signed Michael Conforto to a one-year, $17 million deal before the season, and he has looked like a massive bust the entire season.
Conforto still isn’t above the .200 average mark, despite playing in 124 games. His OPS is 77, well below league average. The Dodgers also traded for left fielder Alex Call back in July, and he hasn’t had much production either. Signing Kyle Tucker in free agency is right up the Dodgers’ wheelhouse.
Although Tucker has struggled for the past few months, he’s still had a solid season. Kyle Tucker still has 22 home runs and an OPS+ of 140.
Kyle Tucker Has So Many Accolades As a Player
Bleacher Report recently came out with a prediction piece about Kyle Tucker’s free agency, and it showed how tenured he is as a player:
“After all, Tucker’s resume includes a World Series title, four All-Star selections, a Silver Slugger and a Gold Glove. He led the league in RBI in 2023 when he was with the Houston Astros and has hit more than 20 home runs in each of the last five seasons. While he hasn’t been himself since the All-Star break with a .242 batting average, five home runs and 17 RBI, some of that can be explained by injury concerns. And he still has solid overall numbers this season with a .270/.381/.472 slash line, 22 home runs and 73 RBI. Tucker is also just 28 years old, which is another reason he will surely command a significant deal this offseason.”
The next question is how much the Dodgers would pay him, and that will be up to Tucker’s agent.
Fans of other MLB teams would not be happy with the Dodgers making a big-money signing like this, but it would put a lot of pressure on the Cubs to attempt to dish out a higher AAV contract. Tucker’s free agency will be one of the highest-anticipated events this offseason.
