I have heard and read that "halftime adjustments" do not include material changes to the existing game plan and virtually never includes anything that was not practiced. If something like "sliding the pocket" wasn't a practiced part of the game plan then it or anything else not already in the game plan will be covered in those five minutes or so of available time. Check this out of the "Myth of Halftime Adjustments".

In the Military, we call it 'contingency plans'. Working on the axiom: No good plan survives first contact with the enemy! (Unknown Author) or an even better one, "Everybody's got a plan until they get punched in the mouth." -Mike Tyson

"Myth" or "Fact", there are coaches who come out of the halftime locker room with a different approach if their first isn't producing. It would have been nice to see some wrinkles to keep the chains moving and provide Carr with a little more time.

^^^ THIS RIGHT HERE… Coming from a military background myself, as well as having suited up to play the game under good and bad coaches, you simply NAILED IT. Thank You.

Did Saints DE really spit at injured DeVonta Smith?

Does anybody here think that Payton Turner actually spit at or on Smith? I'd suppose that we'd all say no but it didn't look good for him.

It didn't look like he spit. I don't see anything resembling it. Someone is grasping for straws out there. LOL

Look at the two responses. They both basically said he's full of ****.

Just FYI, the biggest ish talker and instigator extraordinaire, Ceedy is stirring the pot after the game:
"Man, that's the dirtiest s--- I ever saw in football, bro. Y'all obviously saw forward progression was stopped. For them to take a cheap shot on one of our key players, it goes to show what type of team that is. They're front-runners."

I really can't stand that guy...and I'm being nice.

Gardner-Johnson was always a trouble making piece of **** when he was with the Saints. No reason why he should be any different now, right?
