Loomis press conference

Rugby Saint II · 01-06-2015, 11:20 AM

So, he finally gets to tell Sean what he really thinks.

Liked…
Greenbriar wasn’t the problem
Mistakes were made (referencing locker room)
Not happy with personnel decisions, will address
SJB is simply taking longer than expected
Better cap wise than last year...Love this line
We're not really over the salary cap. We have a lot of mechanisms in place to get under the cap.

"Are we scouting correctly? Are we making the right personnel decisions? Are we giving the coaches what they need to be successful? Everything is open for discussion."

Disagree with West Virgina. The weather is too mild. The defense had no intensity to push through in the 4th quarter, they often looked whiffed. This is a staple of military training, they train in harsh conditions for a reason and it also builds tight bonds having suffered through something together.

Training camps aren't what they used to be. There are no more two-a-days. One practice a day and there are limits as to how grueling it can be. These things are supervised by the NFL. Loomis made a point to mention that.

I don't see any point in going out in the heat if practice isn't not long enough and you spend half of your limited practice time re-hydrating and working out cramps.

Most of the NFL trains away from the intense heat. It doesn't hurt them at all.

Good point

News conferences like this are a waste of time. The original reason for less contact and such was less injuries. I hope they look at the stats. It didn't lessen the injuries for the Saints. One could easily argue less contact means being in less football shape and actually leads to more injuries on gameday.

So does this mean Rob Ryan is staying? I was expecting to hear some more changes...

He wouldn't talk about any personnel or coaching changes except to say everything is under evaluation.

Might also be waiting for the playoffs to end. We could be eyeing someone in the final 8.
