I agree. Nothing I wrote in this thread said anything bad about Payton. Before last season, I wrote elsewhere that I expected a 6&10 or 7&9 season because of lack of talent on the o-line. Somehow last year, they pulled it together and played well.

For good reason, maybe, the coaching staff bought into their '06 performance as a sign of good things to come because I did too. Unfortunately, they have regressed.

Maybe with some rest they can get it back together. That's about all we can hope for now.

There is one thing I'd like Payton to consider changing. Have you noticed how sluggish our guys seem? I can't help but think that maybe they were beaten down physically before the season even started by facing a Mississippi summer in training camp. The Cowboys went through what the players were calling "camp cupcake" - practicing indoors everyday. I hate the cowboys, but they have the look of a fresh team that knows what is going on. Payton might want to re-think this Milsaps thing.
