Re: Saints release veteran receiver Emmanuel Sanders in cap-saving maneuver | Luke Johnson
I wish I could like this ten times papaz. In practically every game they played with some type of patchwork lineup at practically every position and still got the number 2 seed.

Re: Saints release veteran receiver Emmanuel Sanders in cap-saving maneuver | Luke Johnson
He was a little slow to assimilate the position and completely understand Sean Payton's complex & extensive play book. I wish him well wherever he ends up. Maybe Sanders should just listen to his next QB about route running and not argue....we all know that Drew is the master!

Re: Saints release veteran receiver Emmanuel Sanders in cap-saving maneuver | Luke Johnson
Yeah, I think you're right! But we got a new pro scouting director now so hopefully we bring in healthy free agents. We do tend to gamble on injured veterans staying healthy in New Orleans. It worked for Drew. But it's been kinda' hit or miss since then. We've had some successful free agents....just not often enough.

Point being, we did not use Emmanuel Sanders to his strengths - and Sean, like most good coachs, use to build the playbook based on the talent he had, not a system... With regards to injuries, the best teams overcome them, and the Saints did during regular season... Based on the last four post-seasons, it seems to be more of a post-season mental block that starts at the top of the organization... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

If you want to pigeonhole that as Us not being able to throw a long ball then good for you. But if you don’t think that most of the reason we lost to the SB champs after beating them twice in the regular season was because they were healthier than we were I simply disagree.

No sh!t, Sherlock!![]()
I understand some people have issues with the management of this franchise ... no, wait, I do not understand it, but I do recognize that they do seem to readily place all blame for everything in that direction. Sometimes things just don't work out. It is as simple as that. Sorry for hijacking your post, Boston. ![]() |
