Saints' Dennis Allen, Coaches Should Be Under the Microscope

Boston Saint · 10-12-2022, 10:31 AM

I made these points on other threads, but I’m gonna do it again and do connect them.

The team the Saints trotted out in week one had played less than ONE quarter together in ANY form (regular or preseason). They had new WRs, working with new (or returning from injury) QBs and new Olinemen. Not surprising there is a lack of cohesiveness when they haven’t worked together as a unit.

The team on the field last few weeks and going into this week is not the team that trotted out week one. Injuries have forced us to play a RB we picked up after the season started. Forced us into using backups as starters on the Oline. Forced WRs like Smith and Kirkwood to play big roles. When the starters didn’t get a chance to work together and develop cohesiveness how could the backups?

The ONE thing I think we can all agree that we thought we could count on was Kamara. He’s missed time with an injury and had two fumbles that cost us 2 games IMO. He simply DOESN’T FUMBLE and the Saints are 3-2 at least if not 4-1. I fully believe that.

Payton, Billichik, or the ghost of Vince Lombardi could have been coaching and it wouldn’t have made a difference so far.

Totally agree with all of that.
