Arizona Cardinals Defense: Stifling the Saints Air-Attack

ClintSaints · 09-17-2013, 08:26 AM

One of the things that hasn't been mentioned very much as a factor in our recent struggles is the coaching. Sean Payton seems a bit rusty in his play calling and also doesn't seem to trust what facts and statistics are telling him. Doesn't Sean Payton realize that Pierre Thomas (and Darren Sproles for that matter) are getting way more yards per carry than Mark Ingram?

I mean it's glaring isn't it? I just don't get it. Every once in a while I think Sean Payton can be a bit stubborn. How many times does he want Brees to hand off to Mark Ingram before he realizes it's just not happening.

Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. Right?

No thats not the definition. Its a common misconception that it is, but its really just a saying.

Thats what he WANTS you to think. You're expecting more of this. He's setting you, and the opponents up.

pure brilliance.

All this is ok. We have a Defense now. And a home crowd, including my
loudmouthed, hell-raising self.

We will bring it Sunday.
