The James Skrmetta Podcast

Could Diego Pavia Be the Next Taysom Hill? | Viewer Voice Messages

Could Diego Pavia be the next Taysom Hill? In this video, James Skrmetta breaks down Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia and why his unique skill set is drawing early 2026 NFL Draft buzz especially for teams like the New Orleans Saints and Sean Payton’s Denver Broncos. Pavia’s toughness, mobility, creativity, and football IQ have sparked comparisons to Taysom Hill, but does that make him a smart draft target or a risky projection? James dives deep into player comparisons, scheme fits, and the pros and cons of drafting Pavia, including how he could be used in a modern NFL offense. Is Diego Pavia a legitimate chess piece who can stress defenses, or just another college QB whose game doesn’t translate cleanly to Sundays? And should the Saints consider him as a versatile weapon—or does he make even more sense for Sean Payton in Denver?

Is Alvin Kamara Still the Saints RB1 Moving Forward? | Viewer Voice Messages

What is Alvin Kamara’s role with the New Orleans Saints in 2026 and beyond? With Kamara sidelined for much of the 2025 season and the Saints clearly entering a new phase of their rebuild, questions are swirling about the future of the Saints’ running back room. In this video, James Skrmetta breaks down where Alvin Kamara fits moving forward, how the Saints’ front office and coaching staff may view him internally, and whether he’s still the clear RB1—or transitioning into a different role. With Kamara still very highly paid, the Saints face real decisions about workload, usage, and long-term planning. James also dives into the growing buzz around the Saints potentially drafting Jeremiyah Love in the 2026 NFL Draft or exploring big-name options in free agency like Breece Hall or Kenneth Walker. Is Kamara still the focal point of the offense? Or is New Orleans preparing for a changing of the guard?

Seahawks DOMINATE Patriots in Super Bowl LX

The Seattle Seahawks are Super Bowl champions once again. In this video, James Skrmetta reacts to and breaks down the Seahawks’ dominant 29–13 win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX, a game that was decided by defense, physicality, and total control. Seattle’s “Dark Side” defense completely shut down New England’s offense, harassing Patriots quarterback Drake Maye all night with six sacks, three forced turnovers, and relentless pressure that never let the Patriots settle in. Super Bowl MVP Kenneth Walker III powered the Seahawks offense with 135 rushing yards, while Sam Darnold delivered a clean, turnover-free performance on the biggest stage. From Derick Hall’s strip sack to interceptions by Uchenna Nwosu and Julian Love, this was a defensive masterclass that reminded everyone why defense still wins championships. James breaks down how Seattle took control early, why New England had no answers offensively, what this title means for the Seahawks franchise, and where both teams go from here after Super Bowl LX at Levi’s Stadium.

Jeremiyah Love Could TRANSFORM the Saints Offense | Viewer Voice Messages

Could Jeremiyah Love be the missing piece the New Orleans Saints offense desperately needs? In this video, James Skrmetta breaks down whether Jeremiyah Love would be a smart target for the Saints in the upcoming NFL Draft and how his skill set could immediately elevate Kellen Moore’s Saints offense. James dives into how Love’s explosiveness, vision, and versatility could finally give the Saints a legitimate run game—something they’ve been missing—and why that matters so much for the development and success of Tyler Shough. A strong run game doesn’t just help the offense stay balanced; it can unlock play-action, simplify reads, and take pressure off a young quarterback. Would Jeremiyah Love change the ceiling of the Saints offense? Is running back the sneaky key to making Kellen Moore’s system work in New Orleans? And is helping Tyler Shough the real priority this offseason?

Should the Saints Regret Trading Rashid Shaheed? | Viewer Voice Messages

Did the New Orleans Saints make a mistake trading Rashid Shaheed to the Seattle Seahawks at the NFL trade deadline?

In this video, James Skrmetta reacts to Rashid Shaheed’s playoff moment and breaks down why it still doesn’t change the reality—the Saints were right to trade him when they did. James dives into roster construction, contract value, sustainability of big-play specialists, and how the Saints are thinking long-term as they reshape their offense around the future.
