Payton from the booth

GeauxForMore · 10-20-2011, 04:42 PM

Coach is going to be play calling from the booth Sunday night. Me and my father have been arguing if this is going to affect the saints. I don't believe so, what does the black and gold fam feel about this?

I certainly don't think its gonna help. We probably just added a few seconds to the play call getting to Drew in time.

That's a good thing; increase our time of possession and keep our Defense off the field...

You say that but... Had we not of turned the ball over any, it would of been a win for us. Turnovers is what lost us the game last week, and will more than likely cost us the game every week if we turn the ball over that many times. I don't blame our defense for last game, our offense was more than capable of outperforming what they did last week.

Nailed it. If we don't turn the ball over 4 times, we win that game by 2 scores minimum, mediocre defense and all.

The defense isn't anything special we all agree, they likely won't improve much but they did more than enough to win that game. Asking them to get 4 additional stops or generate a turnover on a regualr basis is not going to happen and that's the reality right now. I say the majority of the focus goes to the offense. Clean up the turnovers and the D will hold.

It's not going to help for sure. Manning would have had a field day this week.

But if you think about it, it could give Payton a better view of the field and what the offense looks like........just trying to find some positive in it

I have a feeling we may see a couple of timeouts burned because of this. Hopefully they do not come into play.

On a related note, I feel we would have won last week had Payton been on the sideline the whole game. All it takes is that one crucial play that he seems to dial up in all close games. Sure, his playbook was available, but the genius behind it wasn't.
