Reasons to be positive about the season.
The biggest one for me is getting rid of Carmichael. I held nothing against the guy but he’s just not an OC. Kind of like that assistant manager who knows all about the business and is good at what they do but you hand them the keys to the business and they can’t do it at that level.
To piggyback off of that I was pleased with his replacement. I’m optimistic, but we truly won’t know until the season gets rolling.
That’s the biggest reason I have to be positive about the season.
Oh yes…the start of a new season!!!
GO SAINTS!!!

Bingo! That's where a great deal of my excitement sits, as well. With five games remaining last season we were LAST in the league in pre-snap motion. That hamstrings any QB not allowing them to get that definitive read on the defense. Offenses from the Shanahan/Kubiak tree design led the entire league in pre-snap motion. If we had even a halfway competent play designer and/or playcaller we would have easily won an additional two to three more games, walked away with the NFC South, hosted a home playoff game, and had a chance to do some damage.

We have one of the best defenses in the league and it will only get better with an offense that can spend more time on the field.

Who Dat!!
