Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said he understands owner Gayle Benson's concerns about the team's performance, calling the 2-4 start unacceptable.

Speaking today in Paris ahead of Sunday's game there, Loomis addressed Benson's recent public criticism. "This is an outcome-based sport, and it's not good enough yet," he said. He noted that while the process has been solid, the results have not followed.

Loomis pointed to the team's youth and development as factors, noting that the Saints coach is 22 games into his career and quarterback Tyler Shough has shown promise despite having played 13 or 14 games without starting a full season.

Despite the slow start, Loomis expressed belief that the team can still win. He added that occasional discomfort can be necessary for growth.
