No idea what this is about, but ...

I liked Carmichael's play calling through the years (when he actually did that). He can install the packages and prepare them well also- EVIDENTLY.

His press conference he certainly sounds the part.

"Our team is going to be tough, our team is going to be smart and we are going to be highly competitive. We are going to play with a passion and an energy, that our opponents are either unwilling or unable to match"

I hope he lives up to that quote.

I believe the Saints will be better if for no other reasons than it's unlikely that there will be as devastating an injury season as last year.

If true then hard to argue against Winston at QB

Interesting to hear his thoughts on the offense. He emphasizes running the ball and being physical while creating explosive plays. Sounds like he’s envisioning a ground and pound offense that can set up play action shot plays.

We already needed speed at WR, but RB could be higher on the wishlist than we think.

This is the new NFL. It's a passing league.

Look no further than the participants in Sunday's Super Bowl. Both are ranked at the bottom half of the league with the rushing attack.

We'll be ok

Yeah but these defensive-minded head coaches always think the same way. They always want to be a ground and pound team.
