SEGMENT 1: Will it Be Jake Haener or Spencer Rattler for Saints? Here’s What to Know … The New Orleans Saints have a lot of questions to answer, but one weighs a lot more than the rest: Who starts at QB?

We chat with Locked on Commanders host David Harrison to break down Jayden’s impact, what’s changed with Dan Quinn, the mood surrounding Marshon Lattimore’s much-anticipated debut and return to the Superdome and a lot more.  SEGMENT 3: Saints-Commanders X-Factors: Can You Run Block … At All? … The New Orleans Saints have a big task on their hand with the Washington Commanders in Week 15 with an offense led – most likely – by one of Jake Haener or Spencer Rattler? So What are the X-factors? We’ll start with the run game, because that’s what the Saints will need to give themselves much of a chance, and it also happens to be the area where Washington has had the most trouble. Also:  - Can you contain Jayden Daniels on third down? - Can the Chase Young revenge game be the one we talk about? - Kendre Miller’s coming out party?
