Re: The Final TD, DA's Lack of Authority, and the Consequence of Salary Cap Paralysis
Asking for a friend ... when a QB calls an audible on a play, is that considered a bush league play, one that calls for an apology? Could this victory formation fake play be considered along the same lines as other fake plays, like "Ambush" ? What should we then name this play so as to cement it in Saints history?

Jameis put teammates first while DA is a me first guy who nobody respects or ever will respect.
Jameis just did a restructure to help the team. If the team retaliates and backs out on agreements behind that restructure, other players may not agree to any creative restructures. The negative players can't be removed from the team because the team would violate the salary cap and face unprecedented penalties when their dead cap hits. McCoy, Ruiz, Johnson, Jordan, Kamara, etc have all publicly supported this team decision. The team could not cut them all and stay under the cap. The most they could do I guess is pay many of them for the 2024 season while keeping them inactive for every game, but man, we would go 0-17 and have locker room civil war. DA and Loomis have painted themselves into a corner with this. They are like the law, if the jail was already booked at its absolute legal limit for the next year, and they could not send anyone to jail. When you max the cap you can't cut veterans. |

Jameis + 10 did it for a teammate … get over it. Arthur Smith’s reaction understandable, knows the pink slip awaits his return to the Failcants crib.
Allen response is more proof this soft serve vanilla standin is not a head coach in the NFL. Do I expect Allen to be released, absolutely not unfortunately. Add injury to insult good chance they double down and bring Carmichael back. |

It's clear that his players don't respect him. It's really sad because it shows how low morale is on the team. Keep DA another year and there will be nothing left to salvage. Do you think Sean Payton might want to come back?

In My view Dennis Allen should just become like Beklliceck with the media. At least until 24 to 48 hours after the games.
