- 1:48Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints dead last? Dead last? There's a lot
- 2:05Speaker 1: of videos of me on social media screaming about the
- 2:10Speaker 1: Saints being bad and yelling about Mickey Loomis, gum Smack
- 2:14Speaker 1: and Mick as we not so affectionately refer to him here, Grandma, Gail,
- 2:20Speaker 1: Derek Carr, all the stuff. And what's interesting is that
- 2:26Speaker 1: from time to time I will see comments on those
- 2:31Speaker 1: posts with people crapping on me for being too negative
- 2:40Speaker 1: and lauding the Saints for what they've done in the draft,
- 2:48Speaker 1: how good they were for the first two games last
- 2:50Speaker 1: year when they were healthy, and how they're going to
- 2:52Speaker 1: get everybody back, and then when it added Justin Reid
- 2:55Speaker 1: and free agency, and how now Kellen Moore's bringing excuse me,
- 3:00Speaker 1: Ellen Moore. Ellen Moore is here, and they're gonna bring
- 3:04Speaker 1: this new offense and it's gonna be awesome and they're
- 3:07Speaker 1: gonna surprise everybody. And then you look at something like that,
- 3:15Speaker 1: which is objective data. It's FPI, that's not Scones rankings.
- 3:23Speaker 1: It's computer nerds putting in metrics and saying, boh, what's
- 3:27Speaker 1: it gonna be dead? Last? Oh, how about the odds
- 3:33Speaker 1: makers in Las Vegas? They put out wind totals? Where
- 3:36Speaker 1: do they have New Orleans four and a half. You
- 3:40Speaker 1: can sit there all you want and huff and puff
- 3:43Speaker 1: and cross your arms and yell at me and spew
- 3:46Speaker 1: whatever vile stuff you want. I'm one of the only
- 3:49Speaker 1: people that's actually shot you straight the entire time with
- 3:53Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints. I've never waivered. When they're good,
- 3:57Speaker 1: I'll tell you when they're bad. I'm gonna tell you
- 4:00Speaker 1: do you like it or not, because that's my job
- 4:02Speaker 1: is to give you honest opinions. And when I have
- 4:05Speaker 1: this many objective metrics outside of our black and gold purview,
- 4:12Speaker 1: telling you the New Orleans Saints are going to stink
- 4:14Speaker 1: the same way last year leading up to the season,
- 4:18Speaker 1: over and over and over again, I would do every
- 4:20Speaker 1: quarterback ranking you could find PFF, ESPNENFL, dot Com, Vegas,
- 4:27Speaker 1: every quarterback tier ranking you can find anywhere people had
- 4:30Speaker 1: nothing to do with the Saints all had Derek Carr
- 4:33Speaker 1: and that same range twenties ish quarterback in the NFL.
- 4:38Speaker 1: Try to tell you over and over and over again.
- 4:41Speaker 1: I got hate. What's it now? You can go into
- 4:50Speaker 1: this season with optimism if you want to. It's your
- 4:56Speaker 1: right as a fan to clutch your black and old
- 5:00Speaker 1: pearls and go sit in the dome and dance, to
- 5:04Speaker 1: stand up and get crunk. And Who Let the Dogs Out?
- 5:11Speaker 1: I do miss when they played Who Let the Dogs
- 5:13Speaker 1: Out back in their early two thousands and the defense
- 5:15Speaker 1: would get a stop. My Grammy would be like, whatever
- 5:18Speaker 1: happened to we will, we will, we will reck you.
- 5:21Speaker 1: It's like, I love you, Grammy so much. Uh, but
- 5:29Speaker 1: like you can do You can do that. You can
- 5:31Speaker 1: go there and hope that they're gonna be awesome. I
- 5:34Speaker 1: am choosing to take a far more realistic approach. And
- 5:37Speaker 1: by the way, to day May the twenty seventh, we
- 5:41Speaker 1: are one hundred days from the NFL opener. ESPN put
- 5:47Speaker 1: out this big long list of things like one hundred
- 5:51Speaker 1: day is ji It's like a ten thousand words story
- 5:55Speaker 1: might be more than that. It's ben so lack. One
- 6:00Speaker 1: hundred days to the twenty twenty five NFL season. Things
- 6:03Speaker 1: to know, predictions, I mean, this is a long, long thing.
- 6:08Speaker 1: Key names to know, guys coming off of injury, surprise
- 6:13Speaker 1: teams all that. I mean, this is long, long, long piece.
- 6:17Speaker 1: The only things they mentioned about the Saints are Spencer
- 6:20Speaker 1: Ratler changing his jersey to number two, Chris Olave and
- 6:24Speaker 1: Rashichihi coming off of injury. And they mentioned the Saints
- 6:28Speaker 1: quarterback battle. That's it. I am appropriately recalibrating my expectations
- 6:41Speaker 1: for this season. I'm not looking at the win loss
- 6:45Speaker 1: record because it's not gonna be good, and that's not
- 6:47Speaker 1: how we're gonna judge this season. I'm gonna judge the season.
- 6:50Speaker 1: I'm gonna judge it based on do you get your
- 6:53Speaker 1: cap in order so next offseason you can actually go
- 6:57Speaker 1: spend appropriately and do you start to develop a quarterback?
- 7:02Speaker 1: That's what I'm looking for. And I'm probably gonna drink
- 7:08Speaker 1: a lot of cold bud Lights this football season. I'm
- 7:11Speaker 1: gonna need it to get through this season. Thirty second,
- 7:15Speaker 1: you realize that Metric has you worse than the Titans,
- 7:19Speaker 1: the Jets, and the Browns whatever, like in your brain
- 7:22Speaker 1: you think about those franchises. FPI says you're worse than
- 7:26Speaker 1: them right now, and they're right
