THESE MOVES MUST BE MADE

Coaching staff- First and foremost Haslett must be fired. Im sorry to say it because he seems like a nice man, but he his just horrible at controlling his emotions when the bullets are flying. Look at the best coach in the league right now. Bill Belichick is a robot no matter what occurs he never tips his hand. Haslett is suited to be a def. coord. and no more. I have no problem with McCarthy or Venturi in their current roles, but Haslett must go.

Offense- We must find a way to use Aaron Brooks in the draft to trade up to get Eli Manning. I don't trust Brooks as far as I can throw him to ever have the mental makeup to lead us to a Superbowl. Eli Manning has that intangible and we need him. Also someone needs to do a recount and tell me how Terrell Smith didnt make the pro bowl. Has anyone else noticed Duece's numbers since Smith has been out? Trust me, it is no coincidence. We also need to move Bentley to Center next year and show Fontenot the door. He is definitely the weak link in our line. Thanks for the memories Jerry, also thanks for letting Norman Hand abuse you in Week 1 against the Seahawks.

Defense- Where to begin... These people must be let go immediatly... Tebucky Jones- have the Saints ever paid more and gotten so little in return? Dale Carter- Hurt so much this year he might have as well have been back on the crack pipe. Every linebacker on the roster- None of them are worth a crap. They are all pulling bench duty if they are playing in Baltimore or any other good defense. Willie Whitehead- Did anyone else see him disappear when Howard came back and they moved him on the inside. He is a great pass rusher and nothing more. Could be good trade value for a draft pick or a real DL. We desperately need another run stuffing DL. But for God's sake please do not sign Sapp.

Special Teams- Carney must be taken out back and shot. Even before his missed extra point fiasco he was not reliable this year outside the 25 yard line and he has zero confidence on the new turf. Time to hang up your kicking shoe John. Thanks for booting us right out of the playoffs.
Michael Lewis aka The Beer Man must be replaced on kickoff and punt return. He is not the same player he was last year in this area. Does anyone else notice how he makes a beeline for the sideline whenever he gets the ball now. Kick returners with fear are not good kick returners Michael. You got destroyed on a kick return earlier in the year and you will never play the same because of it. Which brings me to my final change for next year....
Donte Stallworth was a complete and utter failure this year. Keith Hamlin, Seattle's rookie safety, lit you up in Week 1 and you have been looking over your shoulder all year since, that is when you have not been on the injured list. Also you couldnt catch VD in a burlesc house. Ive seen softer hands on construction workers. Catch the ball next year or it will be your last with the Saints. Also take a cue from Joe Horn and play hurt. No fan or fellow players respect you.

This is one man's view of the changes that must be made for the Saints to have a shot at the playoffs next year. This has been the most disappointing season I can remember. We had great talent, dodged playing Michael Vick twice, caught Tampa on a down year and still missed the playoffs because of too many penalties, i.e. poor coaching, and a lack of focus in key points in games, i.e. poor coaching. Haslett, it was nice knowing you but the only good thing I can say about you is that you were better than Mike Ditka.
