Are the New Orleans Saints Too Old to Compete in the NFL? | Off the Bench Saints Reaction Video

In this video, James Skrmetta dives deep into the debate about whether the Saints are “too old” to compete at a high level in today’s NFL. With key veterans leading the team, there are concerns about whether the Saints can keep up with younger, faster teams, or if it’s time to start a youth movement in New Orleans.

From defensive and offensive line analysis to wide receiver and backfield potential, this breakdown covers every angle of the Saints’ roster concerns.
Could the New Orleans Saints’ experience work in their favor, or is a roster overhaul the key to long-term success? Find out as James gives his expert analysis and thoughts on what it will take for the Saints to be real contenders!

YES. we are too old.
THE PROBLEM IS… Mikey Loomis is still riding the wave of the "Drew Brees/Sean Peyton" era. He needs to let it go. Problem with that is… I dont think Mrs Gayle is putting any pressure on him
Yes. Old and slow. No speed and not many game changers on either side of the ball. Been saying it the past 3 seasons
Definitely too old I love cam Jordan but he’s hasn’t been as impactful as I’ve seen in the past
The salary cap been slowly catching up. I've been tellin aints fans this for years. Now you stuck with em cause you literally can't afford to cut these guys. 😂😂😂
RISE UP 🎉🎉🎉❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤
Sad we are at a point of making fun of these saints legends. Mickey is to blame.
They are led by 26-52 soon to be 26-53. His new name is his record as a HC. we do not speak of D A. And we definitely don’t speak of Mickey 🐁 Monkey Lupus Mickey lootless. Can’t pay anyone, can’t draft, can’t do anything right. Trash. Garbage. Carrbage. Ped heaner. 🐍 no venom.
The thing that irritates me the most about Allen saying we don’t have any young great players is that it’s a direct reflection of our front office and coaches. We keep drafting players that need development and we just don’t have the coaches on staff to develop these players. We’re still in “win now mode” with no young great players? Delusion at its finest.
If we get an effective head coach in there….. he is going determine if some of the older veterans can still hold up…….. if they can’t ….. they are out of there…… focus on getting a great HC and he will make that decision.
ALLEN HAS TO GO!!!! OUR GUYS JUST DONT PLAY FOR HIM!
Great video, but ya it hurts my heart but Demario and Cam look like pylons, honeybadger can't even tackle anymore he just throws his body on you. Love the guys tho
I just know the Saints are about to win 3 in a row call me crazy but I have us being 1b of the Falcons on our Bye Week
Delusional.. we arent getting better,,we need to go 8 and 1 to make playoffs realistically. Our season finished record will be between 4 and 13 and 7 and 10. this misplaced enthusiasm and hope is laughable
Trying to rationalise all these results. the bare facts are we are an institutionally dysfunctional team which is unable to accept the glaring facts staring it in the face, Carr is there for the money, he will never elevate the team to any standard we hope for. I do agree that Vadel would be a good person to come in as long as he is given roster control over Loomis who is clearly losing a sense of reality. There is a whole scale lack of belief now. You cant just turn that round in a team meeting. The players arent performing. The offensive and defensive lines are so poor it leaves us with little opportunity to move the ball on offensive and hence the defense is continually over stressed as they get little rest. We need to pick 2 of the best offensive linemen we can in this years draft and a large athletic defensive tackle. The trenches are where we need to focus to begin to start strengthening the roster and allowing Kubiak the space to develop his game plan on offense.
why are you such a big homer for the saints coaching staff??
if you know your coach sucks and you ain’t going anywhere for 3 years straight, why play hard?
they give up 7 yards a play because why try?
James, side question here (like it if you answer so I get the noto):
Does OTB, LOS, AFR etc take place in the same studio, and the hosts all bring their own decor for each recording? Same building/studio suite maybe? I've noticed the TV/ads behind them seems to be in roughly the same place across all their shows. Wondering if I'm imagining that or they share studio space. Much love Who Dat!
They are not necessarily old. They are slow and can’t tackle. They rush 4 and don’t even get close to the QB. Their tacklers consistently get beat by more talented quicker players at the point of contact. Their DB’s nearly always get PI penalties during crucial plays. What a combination!
I agree with Dennis but I’ll go a bit further.
The Saints don’t have any great players anymore. Kamara is very good but no longer elite. Jordan is just trash. Don’t understand why he’s even playing at all. He’s doing absolutely horrible. Davis and Lattimore not as good as they once were. We have NO elite players anymore.
Where to old and none off our young players beside Olave are good especially on defense Taylor can get a pass interference on every play and he has bad technique and never has it’s eyes on the ball
This team is guilty until proven innocent lol. Guilty of being all of the worst case scenarios we throw around. Corrupt to the core, old, uninspired qb play, bad coaching, bad medical staff, bad strategy for success. The one thing I don't blame is the players at large. They are human, and any team under this leadership would be bad.
Really thankful a lot of these guys played here….but the answer is yes
Saints Fans – PAY THAT MAN! WE GOTTA KEEP HIM A SAINT FOR LIFE! MICKEY BETTER NOT LET HIM WALK! SAINT FOR LIFE!!
Also Saints fans – Man, how did we end up all these old overpaid players?
All the same people complaining about Cam Jordan style deals are celebrating the Saints for making the same mistake with Alvin Kamara.
Here we GO!😂
Full strength EXCEPT the fact that our entire cb room is out besides alontae
I don't think Saints are too old. This team already showed in weeks 1 and 2 what they are capable of. I think it's a mix of injuries and bad leadership that has lead to this record. Teams have recovered from 2-6 before to make the playoffs and if this Saints team does then DA deserves to keep his job, otherwise its clean house and rebuild. Edit: NFC is still open. ATL has the worst defense in the division, worse than the Panthers and basically have their record off of being healthiest and luckiest. Bucs injuires are crippling and long term and Panthers are a dumpster fire.
