Blake Westbrook Tries to Silence the Doubters - Madden 24 Saints Franchise (Y4:G2) - Ep.61

- It's Year 3 of the Madden 24 Saints Franchise. We've accepted the rebuilding role and have started overhauling the existing roster. We're expecting the rookie class to play many roles this season, and even have new Quarterbacks. I'm hoping this year we can lay a new foundation and identity to take into the future.
My Franchise on Madden 24 begins with the New Orleans Saints. The Saints offer a unique challenge compared to any other team looking at their future cap space problems and aging roster. The Saints are not a bad team in 2023 at all. But their future could not be anymore problematic as cap restraints will cause them to move on from players, including some of their aging veterans they still rely on.
I aim for a more sim feel to my Franchises. I play on All Madden sliders that promote a more realistic play style. I have developed my own XP sliders to create a more authentic feel to Franchise in terms of developing young players and replacing regressing veterans.
This will be my biggest Madden 24 series, and I'm excited to get the rebuild underway. - Hry
Westbrook has been very good so far. If the comments can't see the potential with him, I don't know what else to say. Some of those throws are special
Very good?
@@jalenwalker8790 Very good flashes. He's also made every throw he should make unless there's been a defender in his face
He's shown flashes for sure
yeah but he always had top draft picks get good cause the game works like that. we wanted to see an alternative like the purdy route. THis isn't real life and i think a lot of us like the storylines.
Archetypical "If Mayweather was starting, he would've thrown 10 touchdowns, saved a kitten from a car crash-induced treehouse fire, and invented the cure to all known AND unknown diseases" comment goes here.
Well he would’ve.
😂😂😂😂@@VendevProd
Trade mayweather or start him!!
archetypical ≠ typical
Mayweather may have missed a few less throws but also not had the arm for a couple of the deeper ones. So for a first round pick we used it seems maybe we could have got similar production from mayweather..... . Though westbrook is younger giving him a much higher ceiling in theory
Offense has basically become “Wilson or Olave need to be prime Moss for us to do anything”
Westbrook is showing a lot of promise but man, that delivery is killer. You really can’t throw to any timing routes without it being a huge gamble
Gotta take the underneath passes and the flats. Dont need to get 10 yards every play, just need to average 4 yards a play.
I actually see the true glimmers of hope with Westbrook. He has so much potential and can be a stud. Just please start him all season no matter what because you’ll never develop a QB if you keep pulling them
I think Westbrook is doing okay. My biggest concern after preseason was his accuracy (he only completed 50% of his passes vs. Mayweather’s 60%). Also, I wanna see Skelton probably get some 3rd Downs, for screens or wheel routes with his WR background and speed. Keep up the great work Cane!
Westbrook has looked good. Some bad user plays arent his fault and some occasional missed passes, but he was solid throughout. The accuracy slider could be boosted a bit.
Not it shouldn't. He has some low accuracy stats and a long wind up. Cane chose him and shouldn't adjust things now because he isn't doing well. That is part of having a rookie QB.
@@zaneplatt3533 Shouldnt be missing 5 yard passes from clean pockets
@@CadChamberlainhe should be missing 5 yard passes his accuracy rating is really low
@@winstonlewis5630 Its like 85 short
I think it’s 81 short but still shouldn’t miss 5 yard clean pocket throws. No qb should miss those. I mean even if ur throw rating is in the 70s u should be able to make that pass.
Sould try getting Skelton some touches at running back
Westbrook's first two games had 48% and 47% completion percentages. That's definitely a rough start.
A lot of those were throw out of sack incompletions tho
Sub-50% is objectively bad though. Tim Tebow numbers.
@TheH3LLP3R Because he has a really long wind up...
Both of those problems are solved with a better O-line play or when not vs 2 x factor pass rushers. Didn't help today either the run game was invisible. I'll admit tho he did miss a couple of can't miss throws which is inexcusable. He is still better than Mayweather tho in potential and a out the same in skill when the o line holds up for more than a 7 step dropback
@@CaseyWinehouse There is a reason Bengal plays Lance over Jake Meeks.
As a Wake Forest student it sucks to see AT Perry go but this made sense for both him and the team.
go deacs
As soon as Bresee is healed, trade him away
I love your work Cane and I'll never stop watching these amazing videos. That being said, on the curl/comeback routes you gotta throw the ball before the receiver turns around, because if you don't, the corner will have a chance to make up the space the receiver creates by stopping in place! Great work tho!
To tell if a guy is gonna be open, look at their side of the field and see if someone is gonna be able to undercut the route
@@sh8dyw8yzwhen I run those curl routes I always go off the safety. If I see the safety go outside I go to a second read. If the safety starts moving to the middle of the field I will throw the curl route just before the receiver makes his break at the top of the route. Easy work
@@ozymandiastheking2139 the safety is a great cue too, I feel like it's like "ok this guy clearly has a one on one so I'll throw it", if both guys have a crowded field, I just check it down and run. If not, it's an easy 7-11 yards every time
AT Perry with his 'Moustakas to the Angels' moment.
please dont remind me of that 🙁
Love how you actually traded Perry for realism
That slow release is killing Westbrook.
You need to take what the defense is giving you. Throughout these two games, there were wide open players underneath. Westbrook, I think, has potential, but you have to be patient and take what the defense is giving you.
Well, the criticism of Westbrook will continue…
Bro made some stevie wonder reads…
David Mayweather's presence alone would have inspired Tommy Tomlinson to hold Justin Reed for under 150 yards!
Breese could be a trade deadline candidate
Adebo has offically overtook Tomilson, that's cb1
The rac by Garret Wilson was beautiful
As someone who really wants Mayweather to play Westbrook has shown me flashes of special but seems to be a little inaccurate with gimme throws if he can improve that his completion percentage will go up and I think he'll have a much easier time operating the offense.
anyone else notice that he's got Priest Holmes and Fred Taylor scouting RBs?
getting skelton some rb gadget plays could be a different boost to the run game
Looking at the brief scouting… RB Zach Hillhouse has generational written all over it…. Focus on run offense and stopping the run on defense next offseason with the development of the talent you already have
Cmon Cain, your making Westbrook’s look really bad, none of those was his fault!
That second pick looked like it was because of his slow motion imo
Alot of that was cane. But alot is also rookie stuff.
Hes gonna miss its built into the game.
If you go put a prospect to 99s and then play with him.
He will still miss his fair share of passes because of rookie status.
Hes like how you can tell when I kick block is scripted.
While i am pro mayweather i get why westbrook is the guy.
He just isnt ready yet and overthrowing pearman of all recievers lol was proof to that.
The sad fact is cane could win now with mayweather and its a great story.
In a granchise that has a shelf life.
Waiting for the potential when you gotta kill the series in a couple months is the pickle.
I miss Mayweather but also you GOTTA stop with the timing routes. They do not work in Madden.
They work if you execute them well but you can’t throw a curl once the WR is facing you, asking to get picked off (especially against Jaire of all corners…)
Those last curl throws will always get you
If this team wamts to make the playoffs, new qb
Westbrook is looking like Blake Bortles out here 😂
I like how Greenwell runs into the defenders back and they call pass interference on the db.
Justice for Mayweather!
It was a mediocre game from Westbrook, but it was also a far worse game by the offensive line - that literally nonexistent run game put it all on his shoulders in just the second game of his career. He showed lots of flashes, which is all you reasonably ask here.
Sorry Blake, it's gonna be hard to silence the doubters since cane is controlling you
Cane must just really miss those Brett Favre years
He’s so putting in Mayweather by mid season.
10:37 I love how Ramczyk sprints away from the defender right across from him at the start of the play to block nobody and then acts shocked when said defender makes the TFL.
Look to trade Mayweather and Breese. Mayweather would get an opportunity and stop being a distraction for Westbrook. Breese isn’t coming back and we’ve seen time and time again teams trade premium for injury prone players. Should get a 2nd or a solid player out of him
This game highlighted the young and not great overalled O-line. Maybe as the games go on the RBs will be giving more of a chance but in this one, the O-line couldnt run block.
team is so one dimensional rn once the run game gets going blake is going to shine
Instant Reaction
- Again, it's just so easy to take the easy completions. Cane started so well and then quickly that disappeared
- Westbrook* once again has inflated numbers of 372 yards passing and 3 TD's , but my goodness that 47% completion percentage is horrendous.
- Westbrook* probably should have thrown about 5 picks this game including the wounded duck bailout catch on the final drive.
- Olave's fluke TD is peak Madden
- Kendre Miller still outplayed Roby, despite the run game being abandoned and not given a shot in the second half.
- It is time to move on from Brian Bresee. He cannot stay healthy and isn't the impact player even when he's on the field.
- I think it's a fair critique to say maybe Tommy Tomlinson was a one year wonder.
- The run defense is still abhorrent. If the Packers had just kept running I don't think the Saints would have even been in the game in the second half.
Mayweather?
Westbrook* lol @@CaseyWinehouse
Just gotta work on timing with Westbrooks arm release
Man, those inaccurate passes were exhausting to watch.
Tough loss, but still a great game. Heartbreaker 😢
Hey Cane, I think the Perry trade was cool, but do you think you could add more of those to the franchise? Maybe at the end of the season you could have us vote in the offseason stream and trade a player away. Doesn't have to be on the Saints either. Like if a rookie QB ended up with a top tier receiver it could add another element to the franchise. Just to give the franchise more personality, kinda like the Broncos series.
You have to give Stoutmire more chances..
Westbrook looks really solid. His slow release isn't doing well on dig routes. Also, I think, despite his mistakes, it was the run game and defense that didn't help. They are still not getting off the field on 3rd downs.
There was a couple of plays where Pearman was wide open for a huge play
It is best to just avoid whichever receiver is covered by Jaire
Game play has looked so much more realistic. The slider adjustments are paying off in my opinion. I'm gonna watch regardless. But it's nice not seeing cane get hosed by some scrub qb rolling out under pressure and completing a cross body 40 yard dime
Isnt Fenderson a great tackler? Would love to see him get some snaps in the box.
I think you gotta play Priestley more. Can't be having this guy getting 1 catch
What we really need is a simultaneous alternate universe playthrough of Mayweather and Westbrook starting. But that ain't happening, so let's hope Westbrook can improve that accuracy a tad.
Westbrook can’t have another game like that. If he does you have to give mayweather some snaps.
Na na de nanana. GO PACK GO!
Shades of Eli manning 25:39 😂😂
hate on the QB all you want but when your RB1 has 9 carries for -2 yards the pass aint gonna come all too easy
You need to trade Bresee. Can't lose him for nothing. It's gonna hurt this year but how can you just stand pat and let him walk
I said Collins might be your best pickup. Have to find a way to get on the field more. Maybe as #2 sub LB so he is on the field for Nickel.
Let’s start a chant everybody. David Mayweather! 👏👏👏👏👏
No comment about Westbrook can be taken seriously unless you address Cane not being able to read and throw with anticipation which he has to do if he wants to succeed with him
So um are we gonna talk about Johnny Fenderson becoming a eldritch horror at 1:58 or?
Are you gonna be doing a mlb the show franchise this year?
Wonder what would happen in Green Bay IRL if they gave the "#12" to a DB
Let's go
That's what I said when I found out you were first 😊
short quick passes will make this offense the best in the league. nothing but deep routes will get you pressured all game.
Can't tell the difference between MehStbrook and Jameis Winston. The saints had something special in David HimWeather. Real shame
I STAND WITH DAVID MAYWEATHER
jacoby pearman must be mad as heck.
the run blocking sliders need to be tweaked for both sides
You should call some screens.
Anyone know if he’s using custom draft classes or if they’re auto generated?
Westbrook fans can’t stand that Mayweather is so much better
The interior offensive line is looking unrealistically bad. Like the guards and center give up their blocks immediately every play. Slider issue?
If Mayweather isn’t going to play I think he should be traded somewhere he can get an opportunity.
Bigger fall from grace this weekend: John Calipari or A.T. Perry?
Goddamn you need to upgrade your interior O line
The mayweather story line cooler but Westbrook the one
We almost got a Jacoby pearman MASTERCLASS
Anybody got a link for his sliders??
I think you need to turn down the cpu run blocking and turn up your pass rush.
STOP using white pants with the home jerseys! It looks awful!!
Worst part of the gameplay this episode by far
If he uses the black helmets it might look pretty solid
@@nml2266nah white pants with the saints homes are ugly, they use gold or black pants for a reason
Last time he did this literally every comment was about how terrible it looked. The Saints home jersey’s don’t feature white promintently enough to make the white pants make sense.
Westbrook made some crazy throws but he also missed routine throws not unlike Derek Carr.
The first INT is a common one in this game, DBs seem to make that play a lot. The second one was on Cane.
Green Bays defense in this gane is probably the hardest to run against.
Bryan Bresee needs to be traded at the deadline, the dude could of been elite but holy crap he us made of glass. Once he is healthy, don't play him so you can actually trade him. It doesn't matter what you get for him, even if its a 7th round pick.
I was on the side that didn't want to draft a QB and felt like Mayweather had earned a shot to be the starter next year. This franchise unfortunately went in a different direction and at this point I think it's worth keeping Westbrook as the starter for gamey reasons since he could get a dev boost with an offensive rookie of the year award. It really stinks, because I think that if Madden didn't have development/player ratings (or if such things were hidden) Mayweather would have remained the starter based on how he had played last year. You draft a QB in the first round you're going to start him though, so here's to praying that Westbrook works out (because Mayweather isn't going to get the dev necessary to start in the future now).
JUSTICE FOR MAYWEATHER. HE GOT DONE DIRTY. SHOULD BE STARTING OVER "MEH"STBROOK
Cane, i think you should consider change Westbrook's throwing mechanic, next Off-season, in the condition if he plays well and earn a dev increase. His slow mechanic are giving me Malik Willis PTSD, and you can say that he trained to evolve his mechanic.
That kind of defeats the purpose of building up the team over time. Westbrook is who he is, traits and all, you either adapt to his throwing motion, or he's not the guy in the long run.
@@paulkollars6667 that's true and i also agree with that, but as in real life, we saw in the past and also today Quarterbacks perfecting and his mechanics through their careers. When i suggest Cane to change his mechanic, I'm not asking him to change for a Dan Marino's slinger throw mechanic who can throw everywhere like is nothing, just to normal throw mechanic.
I think the timing/curl routes should not be a part of them plan going forward
I don’t think Westbrook is doubted. Just think Mayweather got screwed.
Think lattimore should’ve been traded for an olinemen or a pick to get another one, I was on the ring trade but could’ve gotten him for picks in hindsight
If your superstars had abilities that matched your scheme, I couldn't help but think your team would perform better.
You had no reason to draft a QB, and now you have one that is apparently near sighted.
Please, do not use this kit combination again for the rest of our lifetime
What’s that mean?
@@wheattt1 black jersey with white pants looks ugly
@@edwardcanez oh facts I honestly didn’t even notice till you mentioned it
Did not expect all the Westbrook apologists in the comments to
I love the content best on CZcams for madden, but the ad’a are seriously annoying
I didn’t see a single ad.
The 2 early picks were user error and all his inaccurate throws came at bad times so kinda a toss up. Mayweather could have thrown 2 picks that were user error and lost the game so next game.

Bw throw power 95
Dm throw power 93
Free Mayweather.. this dude missing wide open passes.. the same passes lance was missing 😂😂😂
It doesn't matter who is your quarterback if your run game is that horrendous. You just can't be that one dimensional, especially with a rookie qb. Keep rocking with Westbrook, hes gonna be good he just needs the experience to improve
