I agree, this team in horrible

i think that haslett is a victim of his sucess his first year... that team wasn\'t \"made\" by him, rather Ditka set that team afloat... since, when has-not has gotten personnel power, the choices that the saints have made have been terrible... i think that they should get rid of haslett and his buddies mccarthy and venturi, brooks, and build the team around deuce... on defense, trade for a good corner and/or linebacker(s). we need defense bad, and our offensive schemes and calls are horrible as well... the offensive line needs to be revamped as well as the back up running back position...

How \'bout we cut Deuce. This guy has been a ghost since December of last year.

Coaching is killing us. I agree with Gator on this. Haz has got nothing left to offer this team.

As WhoDat pointed out a year ago - Haz keep changing strategies. Some of us hoped (myself included) that this new strategy would work, but it doesn\'t look like it has. The team got nothing but cosmetic changes in terms of discipline and heart - we need new a new coach to light a fire under some of these guys.

The sooner we get new a new head coach and offensive and defensive coordinators, the better!

FIRE JIM HASLETT
 

No better since he can\'t seem to hang on to the football.

Seriously, I\'d like to get the full back back, but what does it matter if the guy is gonna AVERAGE a fumble a game?

FIRE JIM HASLETT
 

I agree we need a coaching change now and we can\'t wait any longer!

:bigun2:

From the looks of things thias team doesn\'t respect Haslett,McCarthy or Venturi. If they did they\'d be playing their azzes off. Are they? :no:

this game was seriously hard for me to watch in the dome. It was so upsetting. Mccarthy was seriously read like an open book.
1)Pass first down
2)run for minimal gain
3)0o 3rd and long we better pass

Just the fact that this game came close is disturbing. I believe whodat predicted this in another thread last week. Also I noticed AB is a candidate for the \"Sunday Stud\" on ESPN. His stats were good but man, I am really off on Brooks now. I just don\'t think the Saints need an inconsistent QB who lacks leadership and hear albeit he does have natural talent.

I think Haz and Mcarthy need to get the boot, maybe a coach like Parcells could make AB a REAL \"Sunday Stud\"

For some reason I have noticed the same things from Deuce, becoming fumble prone, giving us the impression that he\'s not really playing to his full potential. Is he holding back for the new contract. I thought you had to show the work first to get the reward. I guess everyone in the NFL thinks I should get paid first than I will play well below my pay level.

FIRE JIM HASLETT
 

Maybe, but don\'t you think he\'s playing more like a high school player and not a pro> I pass the stuff out in level doses and trying to be fair with my critisicm. Deuce is not immune and the coach cant help him hold onto the ball either.

FIRE JIM HASLETT
 

A Brooks question ????

FIRE JIM HASLETT
 

In a way you are right but Deuce\'s play is more than about Deuce. It has to do with Haslet and crew in terms of play calling, blocking, playing with some heart and fire. Deuce\'s problems are just a sign of larger problems with this club. Coaching.

By the way, can someone tell me why for the past few years this team cannot execute a screen pass? Seriously, what the *uck?

FIRE JIM HASLETT
 

Yeah you right Gator they will go 11-5.

FIRE JIM HASLETT
 

If a lineman rolled on your ankle, you would drop more than the ball..

I don\'t care if your walter payton, if your line doesn\'t block your not gonna do anything.
Then problem is duece has to make a move in the backfield before he even gets to the line. He can\'t get full speed to bust through the line. Everytime they try to run they have opponents in the backfield. The only reason Stecker had some good runs is because they were opened up by the pass. Which is what McCarthy should have done 2 years ago. If he would open up the field with the pass then run duece we would be scoring 40+ points. And i think we all know with our defense we need every point we can get.
This is all about coaching. Why do you think every player we let go has success somewhere else. Coaches mold players. Our coaches end careers.

We will lose duece for good if they dont tighten up.

FIRE JIM HASLETT
 

While I still believe I\'m right about this team having enough talent, I think I may have severley overestimated this coaching staff, I didn\'t think they were very good to start with.

They may actually be THE worst staff in the league. I thought they were at least middle-pack, but that display Sunday was the final straw.

HazMustGo, anybody have that username yet?

FIRE JIM HASLETT
 

I\'m right there with ya Danno.

Madden just said on TV -- and I\'d guess he\'d know -- that coaches and scheming is overrated and not enough responsibility is put on the players.

Funny, I think I might have said that before. These guys are supposed to be pro\'s. I cannot think it\'s Haz\'s job to be their daddy. I still like Jim. Sorry...I know I\'m in the minority.

I\'m sorry but VENTURI got\'s to go - ASAP! If and that\'s a bit IF the O-cordinator could maintain an aggresive game plan through out the whole game which would lead to a winning season than we would be in good shape if not go get New England O-cordinator because if you look at it, there seems to be more of middle level coahes than there are the top dogs (Parcells, Reids, Bellichicks etc) who is out there?

FIRE JIM HASLETT
 

The number one problem with this team is Venturi. I am tired of watching the games,and just watching other teams run all over us. I think we need to go with more of a blitzing defense, so we don\'t have to rely on the corners covering as much as we do now. The problem with that is this; it\'s easier to break a big run against a blitz, and we allow enough of them so as it is.

The number two problem is this 2 TE offense. I don\'t think Deuce deserves the blame as some others do. Deuce was not the one who let one of the best FBs in the league go without even batting an eye. Why change something that is the bright spot of this team? Was Deuce the one who let Fontenot go? How many times did Brooks have to fall on the ball after a bad snap.

If things don\'t improve we need to clean house starting at the top w/ Haz, Venturi, and McCarthy.
