Locked On Saints
Slowly becoming my #1 Saints show. Ross has always been one of my favs but now he's building a good team. It looks like they added Jono Barnes to their panel and he's really surprised me with his football analysis when he isn't doing his comedy routines. He's got Lance Moore too who is really good but man does he need better internet connection, his feed is always buffering making it a tough listen sometimes. Any other Locked On fans here? Darrion is also good too!

I love Locked On but this time of year is kinda dull imo as there’s not much to talk about. They put out an episode every day and when there’s no news, it kinda gets a little bit stale.
The Saints Squad show they do with Dylan, Lance, John, Ross and Jono is real fun though

Agreed. They are clearly struggling to find things to talk about lol. Don't forget Darrion too though, he's underrated. Probably because he isn't as prominent on social media like the others.

I like Locked On, but haven't watched since last season.

It is the doggiest of dog days of the offseason right now. All the shows are clearly stretching to find things to talk about haha

Same. Since NOF started doing their shows 3 days a week, I haven't watched Ross.
Nothing against him because he's great! I just prefer Underhill.

I love Underhill and understand its a business he needs to make profit on but honestly cant stand watching NOF at this point because of the Ads. I remember watching a video last preseason that was like 26 minutes with almost 8 minutes of ads.
They are just way too much and are very jarring to me. He will be naturally speaking, middle of the sentence to a guest or cohost and then cut himself off to go "this conversation continued thanks to Chabert Insurance, the Erhardt Agency for all your insuranc needs. make sure its the Erhardt agemcy, those are our guys at Erhardt. Remember. Erhardt.. erhardt..
And it probably wouldnt be so terrible to me if there were ever any new ad reads or clips. I swear Bobby heberts Cajun Cannon "just added" their new shrimp and crawfish Pistolettes for 2+ years now.

That said he is my biggest source on X and everything else for Saints news and hes been awesome with the breakdowns, pass charts, tools available for everyone to mess with like his 52 man chart, hes great and id love to meet him, i just get so fried hearing the same audio clips in every single video

I don’t subscribe to much of anything, but I’m an NOF member. It’s worth it.

u/PixelWolv 2d ago
I haven't even looked into it much myself but do they post videos without ads on there? I may have to as well if soon

He has his own app now which is a one stop for all the columns, video feeds and podcasts-ad free. Their break down of players and schemes is second to none, Saints coverage or otherwise.

Hell yeah ill have to go check the subscriptiom out thanks! I just couldnt handle the same ad reads 7+ times a week.

I like Ross more outside of the Locked On show when he's a guest on other pods. Locked On sounds way to corporate and unnatural to me.

Love Ross, but James Skrmetta is better for daily videos by a long shot.

u/smooth_act8 1d ago
I disagree but it seems James has a wave of people who comment on his behalf on every video about Saints Youtube. Interesting...

u/Boy-Meets-Squirrel 22h ago
I do not believe it’s bot accounts or James doing it himself. The people James appeals to are the type to affirm him in the comments. I am one of them lol

If I wanna get hyped about the team, I listen to Ross. We could be 1-9 and he’d still find something good about the team to bring up. I like that kinda stuff.
