That's because Kyler wasn't healthy to start last year. He weighs the QB grade really high so just having an above average QB like Kyler boosts you up these rankings.
Nah man! I am fine waiting! Glad that he saw us better then 28. I'm shooting to be at least 23. I know raiders, Cardinals, and maybe chargers and doubtful on Vikings are all neck to neck.

As a saints fan ill say this: the analysis of the team is pretty spot on. However i would argue that the team feels much better about themselves than they did this time last year, and they still managed to win 9 games. I think theres a very good chance this saints team wins the nfc south this year
So glad you took your vacation the same time Bootleg started up their summer deep dive series. Glad to see you back so now with you, plus Zac Shomler from Strong Opinion Sports(SOS) finally moved into his new apartment there is thrice the amount of football in my feed!
@@ThatFranchiseGuy yea I agree I’m just excited to maybe see a better running game. This new scheme can create better blocking for the athletic guys on this line.
@@ThatFranchiseGuy think your carr hate boner is a little unjustified. he's just an average QB, by no means is he terrible enough to get an OC fired. raiders were always a complete mess and carmichael was truly awful last year
QBs with expectations that aren't met get Coordinators fired. Straight up bad QBs get themselves fired. In other words, Carr is good enough that people rarely put the blame on him. If that makes sense.
Sad but not surprised to see the Saints this low. Great video as always! Quick note about injuries: Juwan Johnson is out indefinitely with a lower leg injury (just had surgery) and Tanoh Kpassingoh is done for the season with a torn Achilles suffered about a month ago
I noticed that many teams only have a 1-3 overall difference. Between worst team in the nfl vs a competitive roster. How big of a actual gap is between the 32 and the 24th best team for example
I'm gonna do a Front Office Rankings podcast on my Fully Inflated Football Podcast hopefully before the season starts. Hard to bake that into this when we're really just reflecting on the work they've already done for the year.
Ion know why but I’ve always been a big fan of Demario Davis . He’s my favorite linebacker outside of Christian Harris because I’m a diehard Texans fan but I just love seeing him out there still playing like a top tier linebacker in his mid 30s
As a Commanders fan, in terms of Chase Young and Khaleke Hudson: Chase Young: He plays his best when he can play undisciplined. He likes to win with athleticism and power and his pass rush moves are not top end. His use of hands are not great. That said he can still win at a good pass rush win rate percentage if he gets to be the alpha and free lance because his athletic tools are good. Part of the problem with the Commanders D-Line was they had four guys who wanted to be an alpha and all wanted to do their thing. So Jon Allen the DT next to him may see an opportunity to go inside based on the guard is playing him and Young may choose to go outside and it would open up a running lane for the QB and kill containment. My guess is he struggled in San Fran because they didn't treat him as an alpha and didn't give him as much freedom and he doesn't have the handusage and pass rush moves to excel when he has to play strictly within a scheme. Ideally he plays next Saunders who is more of a run stuffer than pass rusher and who in pass rush situations can play off of what Young does allowing Young the freedom to pass rush where he see the opportunity. The way to maximize Young is to let him be the alpha where he has a lot of freedom and the DT next to him plays off him in pass rush situations. If you make him play in a lot of structure he doesn't have the pass rush moves and hand usage to excel in that type role. Khaleke Hudson: I liked him. He was a guy last year I thought Marcus rated too low (I think Marcus had him at like a 66 and I thought he should be like a 69) and I think he showed that last year when he got the opportunity to start a few games due to injury. He is a good backup. I was disappointed Washington did not bring him back as I saw him as a pretty idea backup LB. I think using Marcus's ratings he probably should be rated in that 69 to 71 range. He is not a bad option to start a few games if you need a backup LB to start due to injury. Granted he is at best the Saints fourth LB so I am not expecting much out of him, but he is good depth.
I just got back to work after 6 weeks of paternity leave as of Aug 6th you have the video of the bill out so I got a lot of materials to get me through a thousand-plus emails lol. great stuff as always.
Saints fan here. I thought you deep dive into this time was spot on. I wish the saints would blow it all up and start over. Hopefully after this year, we will be looking for a new HC and have a high draft pick to get a young, talented QB like Jalen Milroe ;p. Love your videos and how much time and effort you put into these videos TFG! :D
I agree but I’m not sold on milroe and I wanna see what Rattler can do why not throw him in after week like 13 when we are treading water like really why not dude this years kind of a wash to me so I say let him have a shot
@@NathanAnderson-f6e I know but it’s a cool story I’m rooting for him and if he’s awful and we get a higher draft pick that’s also good because I hate everything about Derek Carr since he cried about how hard he worked in Vegas because they were a garbage organization
Marcus, thank you for this analysis. I wonder if some of these old stars will decline even more than you considered. On any given sunday they can still beat middle of the road teams but I do not expect goid consustency
Love the videos man but got to edit the part where you were comparing Matt corral on Washington to Spencer rattler I think you meant Sam Howell only reason mentioning it is because you said corral like 4 times
as a saints fan the second we signed carr which i knew we would do it just put a shit to what we can really accomplish in the next 3 or 4 years while we might not be the worst in the league mediocrity with a slight chance at a playoff win in a perfect world all while being -90 quintillion in cap every year really wish we just hit a proper rebuild after brees or somehow we are able to build the team up enough now that by the time carra contract is up we are a qb away but also don’t love the GM way of going about things so can’t be so hopeful
Derek Carr is never going to be an exceptional qb, but I think that him having 7 different offensive coordinators/play callers in his career is definitely not helping. He's going to end up having ryan fitzpatrick numbers of coaches by the end of his career at this rate. 😂

He needs to do a TH-cam short on chase young why he didn’t do nothing, because I’ve heard many things people called him lazy lmao like why didn’t he play I didn’t really watch any 49ers game last year.
2:08:18 Lean Under 7.5 6 to 9 Wins. Not seeing upside for The Saints in 2024. 6-11, 9-8 Record Expected. (I agree.) Their Early Season Schedule is difficult - Week 2 Cowboys - Week 3 Eagles - Week 5 Chiefs NFL South opponents improving? - Atlanta Falcons have 2 New QBs - Carolina Panthers won't be 2-15 or worse, right? They'll steal some wins. - Buccaneers are competitive with Baker Mayfield and their WRs and Defense.
I will say it maybe worth mentioning that Juwan Johnson will miss some time due to a lower leg injury. Not sure how long but he’s definitely missing a good part or training camp
I dont think I've ever seen an athlete in any of the 4 major that has been more undeserving of a contract/spot than nathan peterman. Good take on AT Perry.
