Guido, this is the easiest way to start steering a thread left. Let's for now just let it go without comment, please. I've made my one public statement on the issue. I do not plan to speak on it again here.

A spin on my initial question: What are you looking most forward to in camp when it starts next week?

Undefeated over what time frame? The preseason?

Definitely agree that I hope that injuries get under control this season.

My bad. I'll not dip to that level again.

No hate... just factual. :beatnik:

A healthy Payton Turner is indeed positive news! Now if Foskey's off-season work on technique comes through DE may end up being a major strength for the 2024 Saints.

Curious to see how the run game looks under Kubiak. I was a big fan when his dad was in Denver and how much he got out of the RB position, even from players who were not thought of as potentially great.

Other than Davis and Werner, do we have any linebackers? Willie Gay is a question mark still. Seriously, do we have any others?

OL - who plays where, and can they stay healthy?

Very excited to see the WR battle in camp and pre-season. There's a chance this could be the best position group on the team and perhaps the best group in the history of the Saints.

PFF ranks Willie Gay as the 31st best LB in the league for 2024. Demario Davis is #3, of course. We're the only team in the league with two in the top 32.

Our whole staff at this point are as follows ...

WLB20Werner, Pete 21/245Sewell, Nephi PUP52Jackson, D'Marco 22/544Stalbird, Isaiah CF24  
MLB56DAVIS, DEMARIO U/NYJ53Ford, Jaylan 24/558Orji, Anfernee CF23    
SLB6Gay, Willie U/KC47Hudson, Khaleke U/Was59Rice, Monty W/Ten    

I know the team is really high on both Orji and the 5th round selection, Jaylon Ford.

For anyone concerned about Dennis Allen doing the same things over and over ...

How suddenly 'cool' Saints coach Dennis Allen is hoping to change himself – and the Saints


When training camp begins Wednesday in Irvine, California, Allen will look to build upon the camaraderie that he has spent so much of the last few months establishing with players. In a season that’s setting up to be crucial for his job security, Allen told the Times-Picayune he determined the Saints needed “significant change.” That change was headlined by a new offensive staff, but the full extent of Allen’s vision went deeper.

If the Saints needed to change, Allen needed to change with them. The messages players heard for years from the no-nonsense, defensive-minded teacher had to be presented differently.

No matter how much it takes them by surprise.

“You could tell guys in the room, they’re like, 'DA is cool now,' ” safety Tyrann Mathieu said.

...

Then this year, Allen scrapped most of his offensive staff. Out went Pete Carmichael and in came Klint Kubiak.

“Continuity is important,” Allen said. “But continuity is only important if you’re continuing to get the results you’re looking for.

“To have continuity and not have the results is insanity.”

Much more here ...
