The offensive coordinator should always have the call on what players are executing his offense if they are medically available and on the 53 man roster (as has been Graham). At least from what I have always gathered. I cannot imagine a scenario where the de facto defensive coordinator (Dennis Allen) would make that call.

Translation: LEAVE DENNIS ALLEN ALONE. DENNIS ALLEN STAYS.

Look at it this way, who are you going to sit out of the gameday roster at TE if you were Carmichael? Juwan Johnson? Taysom? Foster Moreau? Or Graham? Moreau is arguably the best blocker with Taysom probably being the next best. Sounds like Graham's just been the odd man out.

Makes sense. Rest him on Wednesday, get him into some nitty gritty on Friday, rest him on Sunday. Yeah we got it all together as an organization.

I thought you said a win is a win, no matter how you get there, right...?

Because the Saints have a clown as head coach. ZERO accountability.

And people wonder why they are a sub .500 team, having issues scoring in the red zone, guys not on the same page offensively etc.

Glad Katherine Terrell called him out in her reporting.

This is beyond ridiculous.

Absolutely! But if it takes overcoming Carmichael's obvious lack of skills as a OC/playcaller, then so be it. Win or lose I suspect his days are over after the season.
