I believe we have taken some positive steps this year but I am not convinced of whether anyone has turned over a new leaf or whether it was all forced by Carr's retirement and Gayle forcing DA out and the front office will return to its old ways. I like that Carr retired, DA is gone, we didn't trade up or trade future picks in the draft, we got some veterans to take real pay cuts not just accounting tricks, letting Adebo go given the rod in his leg, and that we didn't blow too much money in free agency when we can't really win now. I dislike Juwon Johnson's contract, Taysom Hill still being on the books at $10 million as a 35yo with an ACL who seeks contact, picking up Olave's option when he is one hit away from retirement, and giving Cooks $6 million when he is similar to our other receivers but old.

Loomis needs a really smart driven coach with a plan that Loomis he implements. He needs a football guy and a formulated plan to crunch the numbers on and make it happen. Which he is good at. We look like we drafted substantially better with Moore's guiding hand and were smart not to trade up in the draft this year. We found good depth and hard nosed team captains in college. We got nine draft picks and another goo UDFA class. I don't know if we changed college scouting but Bravo for a good looking rookie bunch.

Also, the free agent class was tip top this year and we brought in several new young cheap starters. Good job scouting and waiting on players contracts to meet the market demand and save Gayle some money Mickey. This a one of the few family businesses left in the NFL and Miss Benson will open the check book like Tom did. He used to be a cheapskate. But he changed his attitude and we won a Super bowl thanks to him investing in the team.

We came back to tie the last game with a sweet 4th quarter rally. I really like the teams young energy and direction. I hope they can can keep it through the losing that's ahead of them after a rough first four games. Kellen Moore had a post game speech, which was excellent coaching and he hit all the points in under two minutes. He let Mason Tipton lead the team as he brought them up with an inspirational moment to close! I almost got chills.

Lance Moore's mom joined the bng after I spoke so highly of him and wrote that she must be proud because he spoke so well and made such an impact. She joined the board to thank me and was here the whole time he was. I'm glad that he is now covering the Saints on social media. Tipton's crisp route running, confidence, and RAC reminds me of Lance Moore.
