Here's some of the biggest plays from the first Saints preseason game with some takeaways and notes.
-- The first Saints preseason game is in the books, and it didn't disappoint. Some of the action was a little lacking, but Jake Haener and Spencer Rattler provided a boost to help New Orleans earn a 16-14 win over the Cardinals. Rattler led a game-winning drive that was finished by a 37-yard Charlie Smyth field goal. Here's some of the biggest highlights and takeaways from Saturday.Among those not spotted in uniform for Saturday's game included Ugo Amadi , Equanimeous St.
Really nice tackle by Kool-Aid McKinstry on the 3rd-and-7 play that only went for a 3-yard gain. That is just a little hint of what he can do in space.Aug 10, 2024; Glendale, Arizona, USA; New Orleans Saints quarterback Jake Haener against the Arizona Cardinals during a preseason NFL game at State Farm Stadium.

Really solid job by Khaleke Hudson to anticipate and time the snap to get into the backfield and sack Clayton Tune. Jack Heflin helped him too.Good job by Rico Payton to help stop a 4th-and-2 play. Isaiah Foskey also dropped in coverage and was around the area, something we don't usually see. Landon Young was getting some work at right guard after the starters came out. He was working primarily at left and right tackle as well as left guard. He's becoming new James Hurst.
Some good plays made by Willie Gay Jr. on the evening. We've talked about how much of a difference he's going to make for this defense.Rattler's second drive didn't look like the first, but he's just fun to watch back there. I really can't wait to see more of him. I'd guess we'll see him earlier in the 49ers game because of the rotation approach.
