Payton has lengthy list for Saints to correct
 

By LES EAST — New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton showed up for work Monday with a lengthy fix-it list, but an unchanged demeanor.

After a sloppy 30-20 loss at Arizona on Sunday dropped the Saints to 3-2, they need to reduce their turnovers, run the ball better, be more efficient in the red zone, cover kickoffs better and stop missing chip-shot field goals.

That’s a lot to work on before New Orleans visits Tampa Bay on Sunday, but Payton said Monday at his weekly news conference that it doesn’t require a lot of change in how he handles his team.

“It’s not time for any chair throwing,” Payton said. “This is a veteran team. We’ll put the tape on. Our players, as they sit in the locker room right now, understand clearly the things that kept us from winning (Sunday).

“Demeanor doesn’t change. It’s consistent. We have a smart team. We have a veteran team. Most importantly, the message might shift week to week, but the demeanor in how we teach and how we approach remains the same.”

So after this week's lose, then when it be chair throwing time? Here's one of the biggest problems this year ... where's the fire and swagger that they played with last year

Maybe Darren Sharper has all the swagger, since he's been gone we haven't looked fired up. Now this is a veteran team so they should be always fired up, it just looks as though they can't be bothered sometimes. Thats what frustrated me.

Sure looks like a lot of change is needed to me.

When is it time for chair throwing? They may understand the things that kept us from winning, but are they going to do something about it, or just lolly-gag around on the field again. (That's a technical football term...lolly-gag)

Something's got to change, because the more games you lose, demeanor I get...damadder too!

Would it be possible to get a new B&G smiley animation, showing a mad smiley throwing a chair?

i think there is time to return to glory. i did'nt like what devery h. said in todays paper. excuse after excuse why they can't get open. you get open by delivering not just running a route. you get open you cannot be denied you do it man. you catch it in stride not bobble the catch while in stride thats how you make it happen dev. not make excuses. i'm out

Remember when Payton demoted Nicks in camp? That little trick didn't get the Oline performing........Maybe it's time to see what brown can do for you.
