The John Pease Effect. A Must Read!
Coaching Sessions Rolling On
-- the software will not allow link --- The New Orleans Saints are into their second week of mini camp and it shows. Tuesday's workout was no way near as crisp as it should have been but you can probably figure fatigue has set in a bit. They worked hard last week for the first time since January. Then had four days off. Then practiced on the grass and in the heat. It seems as though they have settled into the routine and the new players are learning how this team practices. The QB's continue to throw downfield quite a bit and the overall talent at wide receiver is by far the best this team has ever had at one time. The most interesting tid bit to come out of the second week of practice is defensive line coach John Pease. Pease is getting his players tuned in to what he expects. They all knew Pease would come in and work them at a much higher pace then they were used to. But what they did not know is Pease is spending a tremendous amount of time on fundamentals. Most notable TACKLING. Not a bad idea considering that's what those guys do. But what is most surprising to the team is Pease telling them they must get quicker. And NOT to shed offensive lineman's blocks. Pease wants these guys to be fast enough to chase down QB's and running backs. I have a feeling the defensive lineman have only just begun to grasp what kind of coach John Pease is. By the way Jonathan Sullivan is still being completely broken down as a player by Pease but on Tuesday, Sullivan actually wanted some more reps at practice. |

Love this guy so far. A coach with some intensity, who\'s not going to take anything but full effort from his players. If every one of our coaches commanded this way, we\'d be a serious threat. I think Haz is going to be fired up again this year, he knows his job is on the line, and hopefully it will show.

I think we all forget this kid should be a rookie this year. He\'s young, and Pease is letting him know that you\'d better stay in shape year round or you\'re gonna be in some major pain during training camp. A good sign, to me. |

I expect this to be the defense we\'ve been wating on. The optimist will rule this year :P [Edited on 26/5/2004 by GumboBC] |

I don\'t want to sound like a sunshiner, but I think this guy is our best offseason move we\'ve made in 4 years.
Not only will he help the rookies and Sullivan (his forte is developing youngsters) but he will make Howard, Grant, Kenny Smith and even Willie Whitehead better. He has a proven track record so his addition doesn\'t fall into that \"potential to help\" category. Since most of the games I see are on TV the majority of my football knowledge is geared toward the lines (and following the camera). I\'m so fired up about BOTH the O & D lines this year I just can\'t wait. I also think Venturi has the ego, or lack thereof, to feed off of Pease\'s suggestions.Venturi is a football guru, but I don\'t think he can motivate the troops to get into KILL mode, But I think Pease can and will. |

I could go on and on, but I\'m feeling very optimistic about our defense this year. Edit: I think I just said exactly the same thing Danno said. Well, I meant every word of it just the same.... [Edited on 27/5/2004 by GumboBC] |

You\'re right, Pease wasn\'t the D-line coach in Jacksonville last year. My bad. He does have a good history with \'coaching up\' D-lines though. Including our very own dome patrol defense. Carry on. Don\'t let me slow ya down - :thumbup: |

Riley is no scrub, that is true, but he has always been an underachiever, and I can\'t tell whether it\'s his strength or technique. Any help on this would be appreciated. |
