Nicks argues with Kromer
 

Frustration boils over in defeat

ST. LOUIS — An afternoon of frustration reached a climax in the final minutes of Sunday’s game between the New Orleans Saints and St. Louis Rams for Saints Pro Bowl guard Carl Nicks.

Nicks and offensive line coach Aaron Kromer exchanged words on the sideline in the closing stages of the Saints’ 31-21 loss to the previously winless Rams in the Edwards Jones Dome.

“Basically, it was just a misunderstanding,” Nicks said after the game. “At the end of the day, if I did have a problem, it’s going to stay in-house no matter what.”

When asked if it was just frustration that was building throughout the game, Nicks said, “Absolutely. When you lose a game like that, it hurts. I let my emotions get the best of me, that’s all I can really say about that.”

I can't find any stories on this, but I found this embedded in a story about the game. Anyone having any information on what happened, please post it up...

{There was a report on the Saints' radio network that guard Carl Nicks and offensive line coach Aaron Kromer argued late in the game and needed to be separated. Brees brushed aside any details.

"We got guys that are passionate about the game and want to win. There's obviously some fiery moments all the time. I'm not worried about anybody turning on anybody. That's not our team," the quarterback said}

"brees brushed aside the reports........because he knocked over for the 6th time"

Kromer probably got after his a$$...

Imo he shouldnt.You see a guy in trouble,you help him,yelling wont help.Put a 2man team on Quinn or Laurinaitis,maybe Graham can help blocking for a Sproles run ,whatever is needed to help the o-line.And is there any report on Brown?he left the game with a bad ankle looked like,or knee.

Sounds like a frustrating day for all. I know I yelled out a few times, why wouldn't the guys on the field?

I hope Nicks said we need to run more...

He was probably yelling at him cause Brown was getting punked all day and he wasn't giving him any help.

That depends on the situation. If you got a bad team playing up to its potential and that still is bad the yelling won't help a bit. But we're a damn good team that played way below the opposition and then there is no problem with getting on somebody. Nicks was a beast his first year but since he has been a dissapointment. He is the biggest strongest guy on the team and still seldom manages to create any push.

It was ugly all day, best learn from it and move on. Reminded me of Cleveland schooling us at home a few years back.

The Cleveland game was last year i believe.... Pretty sure...
