I don't like this, not one bit. You practice like you play.

Not a fan of him as a head coach yet. He talks to the media as though he is addressing the players and you don't just "clean up" a lack of discipline... which is what excess penalties and a lack of ball control is.

We also have a scoring problem with 8 quarters of football and only 2 TDs.

I'm not high on him. Payton give him everything he could to polish him up as a DC even a tutor, then handed over the keys to the kingdom. Now he's out of Paytons soft built nest. Not looking like those wings have any flap to them so far.

Me either. But I think mine is a bit more on a personal level. I just flat out miss Sean and Drew. I know you can't get that back. But that was just so much fun for so long. Losing Drew was inevitable. But to then lose Coach Payton right behind him was just kind of a lot to take. For me personally anyway.

So then you bring up the question of someone like Ian Book. Right now, there really is no reason for him to be with the Saints. And Payton was the guy that picked him. Garrett Grayson anyone?

I just hope Pete doesn't leave any time soon. There is no way DA can dial up the creative stuff Sean did.

I can remember a pre-game segment where Drew was talking about how much time Coach Payton and Carmichael put in each weak to be creative with the offense. So how does Dennis do this? Can he?. Or... Are we hoping to win some low scoring games? Is that even doable in this era? I doubt it.

I hope like hell he shows me something different.

Dennis Allen doesn't have to be involved in the offense at all for it to be successful. Quite the contrary. He's said he's leaving that to Carmichael and his staff to handle. Don't forget the week that Payton missed due to injury and Carmichael's playcalling put up 60 points!
