Re: Why Your Team Sucks 2023: New Orleans Saints

Most of our offensive line have no true position and have played 4 different positions in their last 17 games, so thats our positional flexibility. Other teams line up Deebo Samual or Tyreek Hill at halfback, we line up James Hurst or Trevor Penning at Left Tackle or Right Guard. So we do have positional flexibility. Its just like flexibility of where to hide slow clumsy people not where to feature fast agile people. Other offenses are vertical in a downfield sense, our offense is often vertical in terms of Penning falling straight down giving a pass rusher a straight shot at Carr who goes straight down and comes up holding his throwing shoulder. Our offense keeps defenses on their toes because on any given 3rd down and long play we would have 1 eligible receiver go out wide and 4 block, or 3 receivers go out wide to the same spot on the field and 2 block. We have that dynamic flexibility where all our receivers can run the same route, even on the same play. We also have a punter who is better at Rugby, beer pong, and jailhouse tattoo art than punting and 4 starting defensive lineman who could play DT.

Although merchandise revenue may be split, I think it still sends a message to the teams owner when their teams merchandise doesn't sell. Most want to be seen as leaders pulling more than their own weight. It also gives them more power in league circles to be seen as pulling more than their own weight. We can't force DA to be fired but every stat counts, even if the money is split 32 ways the finger only points one way when the owners meet and one team is last in merchandise sales.
