Saints: 3 cardboard cutouts we want at every home game

BRIGHTON, ENGLAND - JULY 20: Cardboard cut-outs of fans are seen inside the stadium prior to the Premier League match between Brighton & Hove Albion and Newcastle United at American Express Community Stadium on July 20, 2020 in Brighton, England. Football Stadiums around Europe remain empty due to the Coronavirus Pandemic as Government social distancing laws prohibit fans inside venues resulting in all fixtures being played behind closed doors.

The New Orleans Saints biggest enemies

The second group of cardboard cutouts that the Saints should want in the stands would be their biggest enemies. Most of these cardboard faces would come from the NFC South Division, but some other cutouts do not.

As I envision the enemies in the stands, the Atlanta Falcons have several that I picture. Matt Ryan and Julio Jones have for sure given the New Orleans Saints a headache for the past decade. They would be in the stands.

Jimmy Garappolo from the San Francisco 49ers helped knock the Saints into third place last season and not get a bye in the playoffs. Kyle Rudolph and most likely Kirk Cousins would be there for being the two that beat the Saints in overtime of the last NFL Wild Card round.

There are just something about seeing a rival and/or enemies that motivates you to do better at whatever it is. For Saints, seeing their nemesis’ is about playing a better football game that whoever they are playing against.
