Well I'll try and change that for you.

Actually I think some of it is still here you just haven't been looking in the right threads. I always disagree with second guessing Payton. That man has got serious balls for his play calling. So unconventional... example:

I mean who calls a freakin reverse inside the Red Zone! 10 freakin yard line that ends up going back to the 21 yard line at one point!!! Are you kidding me. Horrible play call right? So horrible a play call that the Dolphins were completely caught off guard.

Now if we lost yards on it he would be crucified. Those play calls is what makes Payton Payton.

What i love about that play call is that from now until the end of the season it is on tape for every opponent.

When the Saints line up in the offset I formation in the red zone every defense has that reverse in mind. That play started with a lead fullback and play action to the halfback.

Now Payton can give it to Pierre or go with play action pass and that reverse tape is going to hold defenders for a split second.

It opens up lots of possibilities way beyond the single TD.

And Payton is building quite a library of these things. You can see the plays he runs early in the game just to plant an idea in the opposing defense's mind. Sometimes he comes back to them in the same game or saves them for a later on. This late game reverse is going to come in handy down the road.

Re: What I miss about this season....

I thoroughly enjoy the NFL draft every year. Mock drafts, analysis, favorite college players going to which teams, etc?

So I would like bit** about the fact that I will have to sit all day through other teams picks anxiously awaiting the Saints at #32. Heck, I'll probably have one too many by that point and not even remember who they picked.

Sometimes, I hate being a Saints fan.
