Raider fan here who still follows Carr… I can’t tell you how refreshing it was to see Carr in the play action game. That has ALWAYS been his bread and butter. He is insanely good when he’s on the move, especially rolling to his right.
Good to see another Raider fan with common sense. Still wear my Carr gear to Raiders games
I'm a Raider fan who followed Carr, he's had a new coach and coordinator year after year suffered so many injuries and bad defenses and he's still productive, he's my favorite QB and sad a dumb ass coach had let him go but happy he went to a team that could go playoffs /Superbowl
@@SpecialAgentEBunny me too! Anyone who says we shouldn’t be wearing it is crazy. He’s a big part of our history
I too sport Carr gear
I followed Carr to the Saints and sport my Saints Carr Jersey at the Super Dome.
Bengals fan here, I felt like the media was sleeping on the saints all offseason, they have a core of solid veterans to build around, yea the pass rush was rough last year because of injuries and departures of key players leaving, but you sign chase young and Willie gay, arguably to the 2 best defensive free agents at their positions, you draft an O-linemen in the first round, you get a west coast coordinator to help your QB thrive. All upgrades zero downgrades and last year you finished strong having a winning season that nobody talked about
THANK YOU. I dont understand how people dont see that. and as a saints fan i wish the bengals luck. love joe b
Exactly the main negatives were losing some vets on the offensive line and losing MT but he was injured most of last season anyhow. That and letting Jimmy Graham retire but we rarely targeted him last season (though he was very productive when we did target him). If our offensive linemen can make it work I think we might have quite the dark horse team this season with all the downplay they've been getting for whatever reason
Thank you brother, you got a gem at QB. Best of luck to your Bengals!!
Nice to see a fan from another team who is more willing to talk football then just be a homer yes I love my saints but I've always pointed out other good teams
Yes, Carr was 19/23 with 200 yards, but ya'll are forgetting that 2 of the incompletions were on potential TD's, one was to Hill who got both hands on the ball but couldnt hold on to it, and the other was to Shaheed where the DB got his hand in there the last second. So, Carr could have had 5 TD's on 21/23 for 300+ yards
That play by the DB against Shaheed was actually incredibly well played. Textbook.
@@theroachden6195exactly… a great accurate throw by Carr but an even better play by the DB
@@theroachden6195both plays by them dbs was great plays you cant coach effort
If we’re allowed to be nit pickey, that 18 yard pass over the middle to Olave should have been led more and it woulda been an easy TD. But he completed the pass regardless so it’s a win.
Was thinking of that as well. Both those throws in the end zone were DIMES
Thats the Carr i told you about, thats how he looked most of the time under Gruden, accurate (so much that even the incompletions were good throws), composed and willing to extend plays. If he doesnt have to run for his life he is as good as anyone not named mahomes (and even has gone toe to toe and outplaying him multiple times)
Yep
Couldn’t agree more, I’ve said this for years and was laughed at. In one season Carr and Gruden beat Mahomes and lost their second game by 1 touchdown in the dying seconds of the game (very close to sweeping the chiefs). You need Carr moving in the pocket with roll outs, play action. He knows where to put the ball and how to protect the ball.
@@justinjoudo9575 yup, that second Game from Carr was the highest graded performance by a qb that season, Even kelce was mad because they just couldnt stop him, too Bad the defense that year was all time Bad in points allowed per drive
@@eduardopoceros7737 he’s Defence’s were always bad! (For the raiders) not to mention the no name receivers he had all them seasons. 1 year he had Adams with that psycho head coach and Adams still lead the league in TD’s.
Agreed 💯.....And you got Carr haters who would still rather have Menshew or AOC.... 😂....I hope DC wins the bowl!!!
James pumping out the content today. Love to see it.
@@roguecivilian6958 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Just like them saints pumping out scores on 9 drives on that Sunday for a victory lap Monday…….PURE Bliss 😊
@@JamesSkrmettaI was all in when you got excited about hiring Kubiak now I’m just looking forward to continue riding cloud 9…. 🥹
Thank you for making this. Today, I could barely find ANY Saints content on any major sports outlets. It's like they didn't even play.
Everyone is talking more about how bad the Panthers are than how well we played. Hopefully we beat Dallas and that changes
Unfortunately, nothing new with that. The NFL has always treated the Saints with disrespect. Wouldn’t expect anything less now.
DC4 has always been accurate, always had a strong arm, always been tough as nails.
Always.
I felt that last, "always."
As a Raider fan I wish we still had DC. He's very tough guy and great competitor. He got a bad rap with the Raiders. It wasn't his fault what happened with the Raiders.
@@IrateRaider right. It was the Raiders fault what happened to him.
Josh McDaniels* @@TheAutumnWind_RN4L
@@TheAutumnWind_RN4L I sense sarcasm, let me educate you. Carr had no chemistry with the dumb wannabe coach they brought in from New England. There was division in the Raiders front office due to McDoof pretending he could bring in Brady, but they had to scapegoat Carr for the season after just signing a contract that season, using the included out. Really watch the play calling, look how many blown leads the Raiders had that year. You remember right, the unusual amount of blown leads? That's almost always attributed to defense, but there's more to it. McDoof's ego was bruised when Carr went against his wishes and won against the Seahawks in week 12 of the 2022 season. Carr was tired of his coach sabotaging the games (plot twist side note Raider fans: the after game interview where he was practically crying from frustration, it wasn't other players he was calling out, it was the coach, Carr had figured it out from the play calling that the coach was playing to lose. Now watch that interview again knowing he's talking to the dumb one). That game ended differently because Carr went rouge. This eventually led to him being benched. Carr's too respectful to ever come out and say it, but have you ever worked somewhere for a while, it was your life and then had a new boss come in who you just didn't get along with (who treated the place you love like it was New England, but with a dumb visor on and a face that will suck the intelligence out of you if you look at it directly)? It happens.
Carr played really well, I knew he had it in him. Saints needed good schemes to bring that out from him The problem with the saints fans are some of us are just too impatient, want immediate gratification. 😊
I’d say the biggest problem with many Saints fans is that they got so used to Brees and Payton being there, not knowing anything else. But us long time fans know what the Saints were before that era. Newer fans have less patience than the older ones.
Derek Carr was ICE COLD under pressure this week
Let's not forget how Collin LOVES Baker Mayfield. Anything dealing with him is supposed to be competent.😂⚜️
James thanks for pointing olave’s block! That’s a great wide receiver attribute.
@@MM-xw3ft Especially in this offense
This scheming is so damn beautiful man, defense had no idea what to do. After last years “fustercluck” it’s so refreshing and I’m glad we play the toughest teams early before they have as much tape
I spent all day listening to people who said the panthers would win having to eat their words. You explaining the nuances of football definitely earned a follow vs the analyst who just look at the box score!
@@seananderson5748 Much appreciated!
@@JamesSkrmetta much deserved!
I’ve never felt so close to the team then now thank you James for producing the best content daily
@@kingkaden2034 Thank you for watching!
14:15 Watch the LB’s bite down on Shaheed and Taysom. That’s what opened up Johnson. They had ran 2 screens with Shaheed earlier in the game with Taysom as a lead blocker. So the 3rd time, they crashed down and left Johnson open. Beautiful design.
They set them up nicely!! Who dat!!!
As a raider fan i miss dereck carr being our QB
Nah all y'all hated him and never appreciated him
Was amazing to see carr play this good! Klint got him ballin!! And him yelling "I got 3 touchdowns on you" he feeling himself this year 😂😂 who dat! Thank you for another video James 👏
@@slowkid2231 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Considering Carr has played for the most part, mediocre and somewhat dysfunctional teams, Carr is a top 25 NFL all time passer, the youngest of active players, tells me his talent is high. He achieved this without the luxuries that other QB’s had. I watched Carr throw for over 500 yds in a game against the Bucs before.
Yep. And we have watched Carr throw for over 400 yards against the Ravens and won with a walk off TD bomb in OT.
I've seen Carr light up great defenses too. Every QB plays mediocre defenses because so few are great/elite defenses.
I was always so impressed at how no matter who the reciever was he produced with them and made them better, Nelson agolhor, mack hollins, Jared cook, Darren Waller of course, Hunter Renfro (look at his production dip) didn’t matter he always made it work
He's garbage in bad and cold weather. Except for a Bronws game where he out slung Mayfield in heavy rain. That's a fun game to watch.
@@nathancoppini6928 And don’t forget after he lost Ruggs, Zay Jones became his #1 receiver and then he lost his coach to the woke NFL but he still rallied his team to make the playoffs.
off the dome, without a doubt the #1 saints media channel. i’ve watched since last year but i really feel this is the season the channel takes off, especially if the saints keep up their momentum. also man, where the hell do you get your saints hats? i need to get a couple more, im tryna have rattlers saints hat game
@@jcoop0008 Headed straight to Number 1 this season.
‘47 has some SOLID hats
Our Offense Finally Has A Goal When They’re On The Field, I Love All The New Plays And Motions, I Love The New Grupe Also😹 One Thing I Love Really Is That We Got Point And Helped Out Our Defense And Gave Them Time To Get Juiced Up Again, Also I Like How On 3rd&6 we ran a rb toss instead of a Four Verticals lol, i love it so far, lets do more and keep it together against dallas! whodatt⚜️
The defense is really solid and confident if they play good and the offense can put up 27-30 on the dallas defense. This team is gonna be scary good
@@noahrodriguez8893 Big true
Couldn’t agree more. First big test is Dallas. Tbh, even if they don’t put up that many points but make it competitive, I’ll be happy. I’ll take a good loss, but I really want a great win over the Cowgirls! ⚜️
Great insightful video here…. This team actually played complementary football‼️ I can’t tell you the last time I saw the Saints play with such cohesiveness and execution
DC4 is a great QB.
He was even better in the Atlanta game at the end of the year
He's been absolutely lights out since late last season. In his last five games he's thrown 15 TD and only 1 interception.
@@ConspiracyQueryDotNet 16*
@@eduardopoceros7737 3+3+2+4+3
Carr threw a 59 yard TD to start the game, let this bring good luck that we are going to Super Bowl 59 !!
Just a saints fan from Quebec that land on your channel and you are cooking my guy love the content🔥
My whole friend group is convinced the Panthers being bad is the reason the Saints won but I know what I saw compared to last season. This offense looks deadly and the defense looks even better then last season.
You will start to see a lot more finesse in Carr’s passing as his confidence improves.
Im a Raiders fan and just came to hear some insight on my boy DC4. Gotta say, I love your content and wish you were a Raider fan too. Lol
@@dennis6931 😂 maybe I should start covering the Raiders too.
@@JamesSkrmetta not a bad idea!
@@JamesSkrmetta I'd sub. Your insight is enlightening.
Remember Carr in the Raiders stadium, Pro-Bowl freshly fired. QB skills contest. He was deadly accurate, murdered it. He's got a new kit on! chip on his shoulder. And weapons now. With Klint Kubiak.
great video, feeling good as a saints fan we got playoffs in sight this year.
New subscriber here James, it’s James here too. Seeing this offense in the first game just shows the Saints were lost as last years eastern conference egg last season. We are at the very least seeing the issues is not the players.
I agree with this segment. I also think we beat Dallas. Hoping so at least
Idk bout that
If they keep Parsons and Lawrence at bay, the Saints win
I love the commentary and perfect way to show the people that get paid money to know about sports they don't know shit, I'm definitely subscribed to this channel now looking forward to this season
The people that are hired for NFL media are the stupidest people ever
I still find it funny. The Saints defense did the same thing to Tom Brady multiple times it’s just this time our offense took advantage of it.
Caleb Williams and the Bears have the defense and Special teams to thank for there victory.🤣💯🏈
@@divineeternity7268 huge true
@@LouisWinthorpe3 Lol. He definitely had some head scratching moments. Actually when he threw that pick I was thinking "yep, that's exactly what a rookie mistake look like coming from a QB" 🤣
@@LouisWinthorpe3 Big true, huge huge arm but still needs developing
I loved the signing of DC4 last year.
I’m so glad you’re the only saints content creator I didn’t unsubscribe to over the off-season. F Ross Jackson and F&@! da po-lice.
I'm a Dallas fan but DC has been my favorite QB for years! So, I'm torn about next weeks game.
I'm a huge fan of your work, James. Great analysis! Who Dat, from Brazil!
Sir as someone who loves this side of the game too, i have subbed to your channel.
Hidden stats always tell the tale.
Thank you James amazing analysis!!💯⚜️
@@timberlineoffroad 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Great content thanks for diving into the stats. If that was a top 5 defense I’m looking forward to the rest of the season. Now we have a big game coming up in Dallas.
You got my sub for pointing out the Olave block. I don't get to watch much, so your analysis is appreciated.
Hi James yes that guy was me for sure. I'm the one that predicted them to go 6-11 this year all that boring yep that was me to. I will definitely eat humble pie today because they looked really good. Even Carr impressed me. As a fan that's all you could ever want is a team that has a chance to compete for a Superbowl, a team that has a chance a slight sliver, as a fan that's all I ever wanted, but my man last year was bad, I knew by week 2 that the team was garbage under Pete and with Carr and Allen's past record it was easy to point my filthy finger and say the saints is a hot steaming pile...but ok they look good Kubiak impressed. Let's call it the Kubiak effect ...Who Dat!!
Subbed. Appreciate the perspective.
It's amazing what an offensive coordinator makes🤯
Thank you for keeping receipts!!!
James, your best football video yet. And to think you’ve been telling us this what could happen when you replace Pathetic Pete with a smart young (but experienced) coordinator. Great insights into the data - it all makes sense and it follows from what you have been preaching since I started watching your channel in the past year.
The only nonsense is your gastronomical sacrifices to appease the football gods gastronomical. I just take the condiment-free dome dog as your well-earned superstition that serves as comic relief.
Anyway, it’s perhaps the most enjoyable Saints game I have ever witnessed beginning to end. It was greatly enhanced by your takes on what the Kubiak hiring could bring about. Because we were forewarned about what Kubiak could do for the Saints when he replaced Peter Principle exemplar Carmichael the clown.
In now my 58th season following the Saints, I will be attending the Cowboys game this Sunday, only my 5th in person game - one was preseason in 68 and two were the win in Nashville over Titans and most recently stolen playoff against the Vikings when the refs vacated before reviewing for pass interference in the end zone on the final play.
I’ve been In Arlington for 4.5 years, about 5.5 miles from ATT stadium - so this is my first NFL football game here. Last time I was in the stadium I saw Jerry Jones not far away jawing with the PBR guys at a rodeo event. I hope he gets to see how well the Saints can play under Allen & Kubiak.
Too bad Dallas get to be forewarned, seeing our offense in the best performance in the league yesterday- But I trust Kubiak will keep McCarthy guessing just like he did with Canales. Who Dat!
@@robertgillis2697 Was great to see what we thought Kubiak could bring to the table come to fruition so fast.
Main thing I’ll be watching for against Dallas is how Klint neutralizes Micah Parsons.
I love the run game saints played against the panthers with AK, Williams, and Taysom hill if we can do the same throughout the whole season and stay consistent we will have great season for sure.
You are the real deal man. Happy I stumbled across your channel. Who dat! ⚜️
@@mygirlfriendismean Who Dat! (Sorry to hear you have a mean girlfriend)
Good that you finally realized and confessed
James all you needed on this content was you playing “Fast Car” in the background by Luke Colmbs or Tracy Chapman versions. I know you would get demonetized in this video but it would be a tribute to DC4 for his awesome performance!
Robert Gallery! Wow James! Much respect! Probably only us old School Raider fans remember him.... This really is one of the best channels on TH-cam!
@@elreydavid1857 When Gallery was coming out of Iowa, I thought he was the greatest OL prospect ever. I would’ve got that pick wrong .
@@JamesSkrmettawe all thought he was going to be a stud! Man were we wrong!
Are all of this guys breakdowns this good?
@@legibby On a whole different level
Here's the thing hindsight is always 20/20. Do I think we've improved all around since last yr? Yes. Do I think it's still too early for the "I told you so"? Absolutely. If we can beat Dallas and Philly then we can start with the "I told you so"..but for right now it's way too early. We have a long season ahead. Let's not get too cocky. It's not how you start but how you finish.
You went hard in this one my boy! Get 'em James! 😂
@@ryanponseti5637 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Carr looked like a different person. Yes Panthers, they are a NFL team regardless and it wasn't the stats that impressed me it was him being comfortable in the pocket. This week will be a great test! Go Saints!!!
As a Raiders fan I’m the first to say I hope the Saints win the SB and Carr wins the MVP.
Not because I’m a Saints fan, but because maybe, MAYBE Mark Davis will sell the team and somebody worth it can take over.
Great video as always James! So what's your prediction for this week's game at Dallas?
Glazin session is wild
Dating back to last season, Carr's had a passer rating over 105.0 in six of his last seven games, which started right after having a concussion and injured throwing shoulder. He's looking pretty unstoppable.
James yk how at 11:15 you’re talking about Olave blocking and how he was looking for the block. That culture to bc Chris their is a literally montage of Chris Olave no tryna block
@@vaihn3567 He’s gotta be all the way bought in to make that block up 30 in the 4th quarter. Was glad to see that.
@@JamesSkrmetta he’s locked in fosho I hope this team bring this same energy against Dallas next weekend
13:30 a nightmare wishbone with AK lined up at WR. 😂
James 🔥 no wonder you’re the fastest growing sports authority. I feel like every episode is solid gold. Just when I think that’s it he can’t possibly be any better…….. Then you give us this.
@@centralcalpublichunterjacp7645 Possible comment of the month
Pre snap motion and play action are the way DC can identify the coverages and hot reads. Play action buys him an extra few milliseconds in the pocket because I think they planned for the O-line to struggle, but they impressed. I hope they play as cohesive against Dallas this week 10:37 olave was locked down by Jaycee Horn who is man cover corner. One of the beat in the league.
He was amazing. Couldn’t believe my eyes. What a 180 my goodness. I was a hater.
One of the things I really respect about the Ohio State program is they have always emphasized the importance of blocking from their receivers.
I like how you show the play as you talk about it ! Makes better content thanks!
Big Saints fan here! What I got to see was insane… however, it remains to be seen after a season with an incompetent OC like last year! It just seems to good to be true, but dude I hope I’m wrong! This was the Carr that we all expected!
Y'all should trade him back to the raiders 👀
The cowboys are gonna be watching your video James to prepare for week 2 lol
it was a fun game and a great way to get the season started but we all know we're about to enter murder's row (Cowboys, Philly, Atlanta and Chiefs). Hopefully we can stay healthy and Carr can stay locked in with this new offense.
It’s always nice to hear another ball knower speak there aren’t very many
Carr played great. Now let’s see if he can be consistent.
Oh boy. Here we go. I hope everyone is going to be okay on Monday.
I been tried telling yall Carr was not ass like everybody said and NOBODY wanted to hear what I had to say. AND I got the receipts 🤷🏼♂️
Preach James
Good content James
Thanks for the education on the stats.
@@chadkraemer6952 🫡
Thanks for calling out the media
chef james cooked with this video
What’s sad is that Derek played with multiple concussions and broken ribs last year and still managed to play as well as anyone the last several games. Hopefully he plays against the cowboys injury free.
This is what happens when you brew a perfect storm of a new head coach & schemes, a struggling 2nd year QB, & the Panthers barely playing any of their starters in preseason & expecting to compete in an opener against your rival team that they know very well still has an elite defense, a chip on their shoulder from last season, & leave alone the fact it's the Saints whom you're playing in the Superdome of all places.
That's like walking unarmed right into a Lions den and expecting to come out with all their fur unscathed.
Any real football fan and not the "talking heads" all seen the Panthers headed into the chophouse for weeks.
Was not expecting such a thorough beat down 🤣 I'll take it though 🤘
Upgrade your lighting. Add another lamp to the opposite side so that you don't have shadows on your face.
Derek Carr throwing 60% above what he was supposed to to supposed to throw is like me having my 70 Camaro 8 cylinder 140 mph now I got a Nissan versa 4 cylinder that goes 140 mph
Remember last year when Gruden came to visit the Saints in the off-season... Hmmmmm.
I’m like number 50! 😊 I’ll take that milestone SURE! Some whodat gotta do it 😅

Great vid I subscribed. Go saints
Stick with it man. 7k follwers isnt enough. That number will grow. Your saints videos are about the only ones i can digest
Aye my boy Sam is as number 2
I said for years now, why are we running in new guys every play. Defenses don't adjust to different packages anymore. We running offenses like linebackers are run heavy vs pass linebackers. Defenses got rid of those a decade ago. Lofton is no longer employed.
Pete Carmichael's head is exploding right now! 😂😂😂 you're right though, changing scheme and coordinator can make all the difference
Raider fan, Carr is my favorite player I've seen in my life as a fan, but everybody is beating up on the panthers this season. I hope Carr can prove my own team wrong and have a great season but I'll have to see Carr produce against competent team, hoping he can get it done though, not hating.
Nobody wants the Saints to win except people in Louisiana & a few that used to live here. Small market in sports to get support.
You will never get them to admit they're wrong... Until we beat the Cowgirls. I'd say it's proof that the system has drastically improved if the Saints make it a close game and the Cowgirls win. But the talking heads won't if it's a loss even if we take them into OT.
James I’m worried Kubiak will be poached for a HC job elsewhere. What must we do to promote him as our HC?
Point #2 Colin has gotta be the worst I've ever listened to sports wise besides maybe skip Bayless.. honestly glad found your James keep it realistic and honest
James- vgp re Olave. I’d be happy if he scored zero tuddys this year because he’s decoying for the rest of the weapons to pile up points. Heck give him a raise! Team game and team players create wins.
