FOX rips Saints player turnoever ratio

Leadership is the real issue, no doubt. But I think what\'s needed is leadership on the field. Great teams have it. Bad teams don\'t. This team doesn\'t, and no coaching can substitute for it. You have to have players who can lead, specifically a QB on offense and a MLB or SS on defense. We have neither. Just imagine the difference it would make to have Ray Lewis or Steve McNair-- aside from being great players, they also make everyone around them play better.

I don\'t know if Haslett is a good coach or not, but he can\'t be on the field to fill the needed leadership role there. No amount of preparation can keep the team focused 100% on each play during the game.
