FOTF at his finestšÆ
Ride home from work. Letās get it
give 'em a chance, James, I'm excited to learn about this Demario Douglas guy.
I was not feeling drafting Love, but youāre right. Last time Kellen had a good run game he won a Super Bowl. So draft love then pregnon in the second, sign Edwards, maybe sign a vet wr or just take one or two later in the draft. I wouldnāt be mad if we got Tyson or Tate, but I think love should be the top of the list
Thank you for dropping another classic James I was scratching my neck hoping you would drop again
David Edwards is leaving the bills?? Whatās his situation?
Hey JSK, in our division? Anything goes.
I really hope arvell Reese falls to us.
If he can learn behind a guy like DD for a year, we could have a future all pro LB for the next ten years.
Hey James have you ever thought about doing a video about how to rate/rank draft prospects. I've been looking at stats and I'm trying to contextualize the difference between Jeremiah Love and say his teammate Jadarian Price.
If Ashton Jeanty was close to generational player would that make Jeremiah Love closer to a Omarion Hampton graded player? I feel way more comfortable grabbing a Hampton type player at 22nd overall instead of top 10 pick
This draft deep at our positions of need. I think we should trade out of top ten.
Would be great to see AK more involved as a receiver.
James dropping another classic as per usual
What are you talking about James? ATL has the most talented roster in the division. Nah Iām joking. That narrative is becoming played out. šāļø
Appreciate all you do man fr
Saints NEEDS A GENUINE POWER PUNCH RB
My boi dropping vids again
Not only A guard James. Go get 2 of them. I donāt even like our backups on the line. I want Ruiz to struggle making this team.
J.Love for RB. Would make sense. AK also, but J.Love would be the RB1
I would def bring fortner back. He was pretty solid in relief for McCoy. Just a nice depth player to have.
Get rid of hill, kam ara ruis, miller and mccoy. Get players that are not injùry prone.
This ŵould open ùp a lot of cap money
Donāt forget about Polk still on a rookie deal Vele coming back the Calgary Wr may work out and James this Demario Douglas guy ššš! These guys are just more proof that they donāt do their homework or even their class work and James over here getting bonus points on the exam! Appreciate you putting in the work! Sidebar- imma start calling you Jameis on your Madden pods bro with all these interceptions lately lol way to grind out that 6-0 victory brother ššš»
If we let Alontae walk we can draft Keonte Scott he does the same thing, definitely can't pay Alontae top corner money when he can't cover
As far as Alonte goes, I think that if we end up taking Caleb Downs in the draft, Alonte is probably on his way out.
My opinion on Eric McCoy is this, Iād love for him to be able to play all 17 games, but that doesnāt seem like it going to be realistic. If we can get 10-11 games from him, id be fine with that. Fortner can carry us the rest of the way.
Bluff, then pass on RB Love and get one late
Super James Skrmetta
taylor is gone
Saints are always best when we have a great backfield, we need Ak and love or Ak and hall
I think trading for aj brown would benefit this team heavy if heās not a cancer to the locker room it would be well worth an would change the whole look of this offense
I think theyāre close⦠Iām looking for flights to Santa Clara as we speak⦠this is their year!!!!!
If they got a 2 guards 2wr and all the hurt players back saints going to playoffs
Trade #8, stop all the hand wringing. Get two starters + for it.
Correct. It ALL depends on the QB just like just about every team.
I'm personally fine with whoever Kellen Moore drafts tbh, I trust him, but I believe the best path is getting Jeremiyah Love so he can learn and play behind AK for a season
It wasn't a coincidence we ran the ball with kedre miller and extreme when ruiz was out with injury.
Cesar Ruiz still running around
Will Luke Fortner be back?
He actually played well at Center
Can he play guard? He couldnāt be much worse than what weāve had at guard.
What will he likely cost?
The Saints are not in bad shape at running back. They literally have three quality backs behind Kamara. Itās like many other position groups. Theyāre good, but if thereās talent available, grab it. BPA
Man we had it soooo good with Reggie Bush and Deuce McAllister
1:33 I will draft Emmanuel Pregnon at our LG spot and let Alijah Vera Tucker play the RG spot thatās what I will do if I was the Saints. But I think if you do get David Edwards moving him to RG would be the move.
Back in 2018, I thought the Browns could've had Saquon and Quentin Nelson in the first round. They had the #1 and 4th pick in the first round. They could've picked Saquon at 1, then Quentin at 4. I'm quite sure Quentin wasn't going at 3. Fast forward to today, I think we can draft a top notch running back and top notch guard within the first two rounds. I'm concerned that Pregnon might get drafted in the later part of the first round instead of his projected 2nd round ranking…..BUT if we do, I really feel our offense will be upgraded tremendously.
THINK WE CAN GET A FOTF HYPOTHESIS HYPOTHETICAL GUESS OF THE RECORD FOR 2025/26 BEFORE THE DRAFT WITH SAME EXACT SAME TEAM THIS YEAR? Like we go in as the 2024/25 saints and guess win or losses with every team in nfl exact same teams for our new schedule and just guess for 26ā ..?? (lol just a video idea)
