Saints-Packers Preview: Why Won’t Rizzi Just Shut Down Derek Carr?

The New Orleans Saints are headed up to Green Bay for a potential snow game without, most likely, their starting quarterback, running back or either top wide receiver. What could go wrong? On the latest episode of the Audacy original Inside Black & Gold podcast Saints sideline reporter Jeff Nowak and WWL Sports Director Steve Geller break down the latest injury news for Chris Olave, Alvin Kamara and Derek Carr and why the Saints don’t seem interested in shutting down their veteran QB. We also hear from Packers insider Jason B. Hirschhorn on what to expect from the Packers and a lot more.  SEGMENT 1: Saints Injury Rundown: Chris Olave is Back, Alvin Kamara Might be Done … The New Orleans Saints’ injury carousel never ends. The good news: Chris Olave is back to practice after missing 6 weeks on IR. The bad news: Alvin Kamara might just be done for the year with his groin injury. We’ll kick off today’s episode by breaking down the latest on those injuries, the Derek Carr situation (plus a bit of confusion) and the addition of a fan-favorite RB in Clyde Edwards-Helaire.  SEGMENT 2: Can Saints survive a snow game? Packers insider breaks down Week 16 … The New Orleans Saints are headed up to Green Bay for a game that might just have some snow. But what would it actually look like? Jeff Nowak and Steve Geller are joined for this preview edition of Inside Black & Gold by Jason B. Hirschhorn, Packers reporter and co-founder of The Leap Newsletter. SEGMENT 3: Spencer Rattler will start IF Derek Carr Can’t Go, But Why Is It a Question At All? … The New Orleans Saints have an obvious choice in front of them with a quarterback managing a broken left hand, but to this point they refuse to close the Derek Carr door. But why? We hear from Darren Rizzi and dive into the background philosophy driving so many of these decisions, then break down our expectations for Spencer Rattler, who is most likely in line to make his fourth career NFL start – and hopefully it can go better than the first three.
