I think he was basically the odd man out with four TE's on the 53 man roster. He finally got chances when both Juwan and Taysom missed time. It was probably hard to activate four TE's on gameday when we were so beat up elsewhere.

Jimmy Who?

Apparently the coach is saving him for Tampa

.

And don't forget it only took this staff 2 years to effectively use Zach Baun.

Outside of maybe Carolina & Atlanta, the Saints have the worst coaching staff in the NFL.

So, we're still one of the best in our division?

You mean "worst".

Atlanta, Carolina (interim HC), Saints should ALL be fired in 2 weeks aka Black Monday. I gotta a feeling Bowles could also be out if he doesn't take this terrible south division.

Unfortunately, this means we won't be jumping on the coaching carousel too. Another year with DA.....

We all know deep in our hearts that on black Friday Pete Carmichael will be headed to Denver to join up with Payton. He will be the sacrificial lamb that saves DA's job.

The Saints brass will give DA all the ammunition to fix the team again ike they thought they did this year. Everything looked good in training camp. Then our O line got exposed and our QB was suspect to immense pressure which he didn't handle well.

The defense has begun to look it's age and is weak on the line as well. We gotta' go heavy on the trenches in the draft again.

We’ll be in the trenches for some time, but the draft AINT gonna dig us out.

Not with our draft parameters.......We've got to get away from pushing all our chips in on small school gems and get our players from large proven programs that know how to develop players, since we obviously can't!

Edit: Oh, and get away from drafting injured players that thinking that we can fix them. We Can't!
