Who Is TOP PLAYMAKER For Saints In 2024? | Does New Orleans Offense Lack Necessary Weapons?!

what up T-Bob here and Jake as well and look at you you done stumbled upon little OTB Saints where we bring you all the latest black and gold coverage who are the Saints going to draft who’s going to be their quarterback what does the salary cap look like all that information and more hope you’re enjoy it like subscribe ESPN’s Bill Barnwell ranked all of the NFL teams offensive Playmakers so think wi receivers here running back tight in um and where did your New Orleans Saints check in they checked in at 20 five and we touch on this first hour but I want to expound on it here because when after I read this I’m like okay let’s let’s let’s think about this what um let’s just like kind of do like a thought exercise here think about who the Saints currently have and then think about whether or not you feel really threatened by that person like does anybody feel dangerous and then think back to the Saints Golden Era you know the breeze Payton highs when they were at their best um Jimmy Graham f terrifying yeah for opponents he was overwhelming Rim rattling bringing down goalposts uh Reggie Bush felt like a lightning bolt could shred you at any time always like when he had the ball in him he felt sharp there was an edge to him Alvin chra early on same deal uh dangerous all over the place how do you cover him how do you account for him he’s he’s uh a Harbinger for the new age of running back Mike Thomas a bit it’s funny Mike Thomas a bit less Edge a bit more like a uh like a blunt force tool but still very effective like wasn’t there some old I I think back in medieval times there were some old Resturant uh no but hey don’t be start on medieval times you don’t want to derail the segment that easily down down down um goded it’s going down I I can never I will never go to Medieval Times and not do a cable guy chant it is a 1,00% guarantee if you see me in there I will be doing the down down down yes um 1,00% of the time but the point like I think like back in medieval times there was like some weird religious rule where it’s like oh if you’re a priest like a you you can’t use an edged weapon you have to use like a hammer or like a mace that was Mike Thomas still very dangerous though right but just going to blood you to death with thousand HS to the Head really um do you have anybody like that now who feels dangerous do you have a weapon that strikes fear into the heart of your enemies and you have some okay guy you got good guy I don’t know that you have any and maybe that’s a function of like we talked about Pete carmichel the offensive philosophy Derek Carr there just doesn’t seem to be anybody that’s fear striking anymore though uh no we went through the list earlier in the show um I think there’s good players there’s no doubt there’s good play players Chris Al I think is a really good NFL player but does he strike that fear if you’re if you’re Corner one on the team that’s facing the Saints are you like oh man we got Crystal L this week yeah I don’t I I I don’t think so which is crazy because the numbers are good but it doesn’t feel like people feel that way I wonder you mentioned Rasheed Shahed earlier I wonder if because of his speed like how close he is to that because if I’m Corner two and I know I’m going against Rasheed Shahed and he can pick him up and put him down better be ready I I got to make sure that that I am ready to get run by well okay so real quick let’s rank the Saints weapons in and look at who’s maybe the key to changing this narrative would be uh we would obviously have a la as weapon one weapon one right yeah um is tames Hill or rased Shahed Weapon 2 Tamm Hill can be weapon two if in you know this San Francisco 49ers offense they’re bringing to New Orleans I think utilizes him like I think they can like they have in the past with multiple players with the ball without the ball I think he can be that are they going to give themselves over to that though is going to be the question yeah and and it it’s tough how many touches do you give Tamm Hill right like like if he if he is if he is who we think he can be and he’s going in the right direction with you struggling to run the football out of just your base formations and they have over the last four years then you you give him 10 touches a game because I I think he warrants that if you’re still struggling to run the football um a lot of people in chat point out Darren sprouls absolutely that was also someone who in his Saint’s uniform just felt dangerous felt terrified uh he felt dangerous in a Kansas State uniform a Chargers uniform a Saints uniform an Eagles uniform um I mean yeah that the getting rid of sprouls in pursuit of uh what’s his name who’s the old safety bird jar bird was he was the biggest disaster in the Payton Bree sing didn’t play against I didn’t play against bird when he was with the Saints I did when he was in Buffalo and his past rush movie was like like you slow uh so I would say a la Hill Shahed then chimra then probably like Jawan Johnson whatever um and and ranking them I think makes you feel really how bland this kind of group is but if they’re going to change it uh I think sh he is key number one can he be in every down wide receiver two like they’re trying to make him because he has the most threatening physical trait in just the raw speed that he has it’s why he was an all pro returner last year and then obviously uh actually maybe this is actually key number one but Alvin chra just getting back on track can he have a cmcs can you get like a SE 75% of what Christian mcaffrey did in terms of bringing back his career can you get 75% of that for Al if you do I think you are a marketly better offens as where you’re probably in like the like can AK get back to being in that like top 10 you know maybe bottom of the top 10 kind of 10 to 15 range of running backs in the NFL yeah it’s going to be a big question and as we know that position you get older you don’t typically get better you only get worse now he’s not taken maybe some of the hits that other running backs have taken but over the last couple years it’s been very tough and I can’t really even blame Alvin chra there’s not like if I watch tape of the Saints offensive line in the Run game it’s like where are you supposed to go and also they didn’t play to the skill of their running back remember I mean they’re running like straight inside Zone and never getting him on the edges and no stretch leads no outside Zone not a lot of tosses like there wasn’t a lot of creativity and if you’ve got a bruising R if you’ve got a Derk Henry and you want to run power maybe some counter inside Zone okay all right I can get behind that he’s not going to get to the Edge he’s fast but he’s not going to get to the edge if he does it’s because he step armed three people but for Alvin C like you would think outside Zone and stretch lead and those type of things would be where he would Thrive and you just you didn’t see any of that no so like for philosophy and because of poor run blocking in front of him I think that it’s not the only reason but it’s a large portion of it so uh again uh this is your this is your daily Saint segment where basically we talk about how things aren’t that good but maybe like Clint kubak can just make it all work I mean I have never had an offseason where there’s been so much hope tied into just one coaching change and not even a head coaching change just a coordinator change we’ll we’ll see but uh yeah the Saints weapons definitely leaving a bit to be desired wow just amazing black and gold takes right there Jake I don’t think I’ve ever heard any takes that are better than the two guys that just gave you that take and you can keep getting them by going ahead and liking subscribing ringing the bell to get notifications when we post have a great day we’ll see you on the next OTB SA
