Already running Payton out of town? Come on…

I think this offseason will show if Payton is really a head coach, and not just an OC in charge of the team. There are changes that need to be made on defense, both in personnel and even coaching, so we’ll see how good Payton does as a true HC.

As for the offense, there were some bad plays called at the wrong time, and some issues with blocking schemes; if you really look at it, is not that the opposing players knew what the Saints were doing, it is more like the blocking schemes left a lot to be desired. Couple of examples: we heard all the time how they wanted to give Bush the ball in space, but “in space” apparently meant without anyone around blocking for him; or the blitz, who the o-line was never able to hold. Drew’s presence in the pocket had more to do with the low sack count than the o-line’s blocking.
