  Chris Landry Segment two on a Monday. Landry football dot com is where you
• 0:03
  can find his work. Also Landry Football on X Chris, I want to
• 0:07
  get to some college in here. But one more NFL question. The Saints
• 0:10
  get Tomorrow Davis back. It looks like he'll finish his career there. But
• 0:15
  when you look at the Saints and you look at the moves and the drafts,
• 0:18
  still got to play out, the rest of free agency's got to play
• 0:20
  out, just because you know, this is Saint centric area here where we
• 0:24
  live a lot of Saints fans. When you look at Kirk Cousins now to
• 0:28
  Atlanta, you look at Baker Mayfield back with Tampa Bay. We'll see what
• 0:33
  happens with Carolina. How far are the Saints. Is it fair to say
• 0:37
  they are third in that pecking order of four in that division. I don't
• 0:41
  know that i'd say that yet. I still think it's pretty I think that
• 0:47
  we need to see how the wrest of free agency works out. Now.
• 0:50
  I could make a case that that's the way it's gonna end up being.
• 0:53
  For this reason, the Saints are not the only one in this situation,
• 0:57
  but they're in captile. They obviously, I'm sure you've talked about it.
• 1:02
  They redid the deal with Tyron Matthew to save money. They're not going to
• 1:07
  be big players in free agents. They're gonna have to draft well, and
• 1:11
  they're gonna have to get bargains in the second way for free agency, and
• 1:15
  if they spend money, it's going to be at the peril of I think
• 1:19
  the depth in the overall balance of the roster. So I don't think their
• 1:25
  situation is all that good. And I do think that the Falcons in Tampa
• 1:30
  are in better situations to get better, but we need to see who actually
• 1:34
  does it, and before I'm willing to jump on, I think that division
• 1:38
  is still very mediocre. I'm more concerned about how the Saints played, and
• 1:46
  more importantly, how they did not play. With a new coach in Atlanta,
• 1:51
  I'd probably be a little bit more and in the new quarterback, I
• 1:53
  probably be more optimistic about the Falcons than the Saints at this point. And
• 1:59
  we'll go from there and they see what the Saints can do. But I'm
• 2:01
  really concerned about Dennis and whether he's the answer, and I think he's kind
• 2:07
  of proven at this point that he may not be but I'm curious to see
• 2:09
  what Clint Kubiak can do with the offense and whether Dennis can fix some of
• 2:14
  the issues on defense. I still think the Saints personnel is pretty decent,
• 2:17
  but again, I think they're in the cap strap situation that's going to make
• 2:23
  it difficult to get appreciably better. So if you're looking out there for them
• 2:25
  to make splashes, you're going to be disappointed. For the most part,
