Observations from the Saints Loss to the Cardinals

I have an alibi:
- Force feeding Callaway was a costly mistake! He's got potential but needs work. I wonder if we can bring in Colston to coach him up?

Yup. That one play really cost us the game. If he hadn't let that ball go through his hands and off the facemask we would likely had gone down the field and scored to end the half. As it was it made Dalton compound the mistake by making the bad throw trying to press the issue on the next possession. instead of going into the half trailing by two TD's we could have had a three or even seven point lead. Ballgame.

Devery Henderson would be my choice. He struggled early in his career with receptions when Curtis Johnson came along and coached him up. It's a big reason that Tulane brought CuJo in to be their Head Coach. It's also a reason that so many of us were happy he came back to the Saints after Tulane.
I couldn't find a great link using our forum search regarding Johnson coaching up Henderson but if you want to bring back some memories, check out this thread:

Saints coach Sean Payton wasn't shy about pointing out Henderson's issues hanging onto the football. But he also said he hasn't contemplated any sort of position changes going into the Saints' game against the Tennessee Titans on Monday night.
"He struggled early on, and then he had a missed assignment," Payton said. "I wanted to get Lance (Moore) some work. One of the things I told C.J. (wide receiver coach Curtis Johnson), with the weather, was to rotate those guys. We brought guys in and out. He struggled early, and some of those other guys have been playing pretty well.
