The New Orleans Saints’ offense continues to stall, making it clear that vibes and optimism alone won’t rebuild the franchise’s future. Head coach Kellen Moore’s struggles to address red zone woes are raising tough questions about coaching accountability and the persistent lack of offensive identity.
Rookie quarterback Tyler Shough’s red zone development is being stifled by questionable play calling and personnel management, while Alvin Kamara’s injury adds further uncertainty to an already depleted unit.
With the playoffs out of reach, attention turns to experimentation and roster evaluation. Why Charlie Smyth should finally get his chance at kicker after Blake Grupe’s continued struggles.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
