Re: Losing Carl Nicks has affected the while O Line
To me, it just seems like defenses now know how to attack us. I believe Payton would have found a way to play call around it. I wonder if anyone on our current coaching staff will find themselves without a job next season.

Re: Losing Carl Nicks has affected the while O Line
When Payton was here I would have a hard time guessing what 50% of our plays would be. We'd run when I expected pass, we'd pass deep when I expected a short route or run. There would be many times when Brees would have the time to go through progressions to find an open man.
Now we have predictable play calling and Brees has no time to get to options in routes. The big plays we have made in the run have come off of unexpected situational calls. When we need to run we have trouble. When we need to pass we have trouble. Nothing is firing on all cylinders for sure. |

I think our coaching staff as a whole is solid WHEN PAYTON IS AROUND. I can't see Loomis canning any of them because they are all doing their best without a rudder. However, you woul think that with having an ex headcoach as our D coordinator, our defense would be leas affected. Dunno. |

Re: Losing Carl Nicks has affected the while O Line
Grubbs #1 guard in the league right now Evans #6, Nicks somewhere down in the 15s according to PFF. NVM, I see someone had the quote, I was trying to find it.
