We could probably win the Super bowl....maybe not. We have to get healthy first. Hopefully, this will mean a tougher training camp for these guys. We need to whip these players into shape. I'm talking old school!

Re: What Could We Do Without Pete Carmichael?
 

Old school went they way of the old CBA's. Under the new CBA's the coaches have their hands tied behind their backs and cannot do any of that "old school" whipping any longer.

Re: What Could We Do Without Pete Carmichael?
 

Maybe not but coaches can still run the players hard at practice. I think one of the reasons we are injured all the time is because we are not a well conditioned team. I just don't know what else it can be at this point.

Re: What Could We Do Without Pete Carmichael?
 

no... because the prima donna has shown how to do it.... pay for NO PLAY

and the saints have a staff that ALLOWS it:dunce:

OUR Head Coach may have his hands tied behind his back, or maybe he just keeps them tucked away there... but a Head Coach who earns his hefty paycheck, and the respect of his team, while making sure that their condition is maximized, DOES NOT have his hands tied behind his back.

Several teams have just as many or more injuries than the Saints. I know it may not seem like that, but we tend to only look at our team and not what is going on elsewhere. However, playing surface could be a factor with all of the foot and ankle issues. Neither of those type of injuries have anything to do with being conditioned properly.

Another reason why Carmichael needs to go.

Re: What Could We Do Without Pete Carmichael?
 

We don't have the rb's to run effectively. Kamara up the middle not happening. Ingram up the middle not effective. Leaves a D knowing Kamara on a screen or sweep wide. They know Ingram can't run wide. Not much in the backfield as far as imagination goes? Playbook? When you ain't got it the book goes out the window.

Which is why we need to be passing on 3rd and long. Do what Payton did for 15 years ... pass to set up the run.

Re: What Could We Do Without Pete Carmichael?
 

Yeah that 3 headed monster look pretty good. We had good production then. Way more than Kamara brings. One thing though we don't have Payton.
