Sean Payton defends Charles Brown
 

"In fairness to him, I think there were a lot of other things we didn't do well in that game. We didn't particularly run the ball efficiently. Defensively we really struggled, giving up some big plays. You know, you had the one pass [that] goes up the sidelines with eight guys watching. You have a couple long runs, missed tackles," Payton told reporters.

"The kicking game, we can't kick a field goal. You know, we have one blocked, which was a low trajectory kick. The other one we just shanked to the left. We get an onside kick against us. We're alert all week for that possibility.

"So it's hard to just say or pick out one specific player. Obviously when you're at left tackle, it becomes more glaring. But we'll put a lot of thought into the best approach this week as we get ready to play Carolina."

I can remember at least twice in the last few seasons we were not ready for an onside kick...

The ran the ball well on the few attempts they tried. SO many times this year after getting 7, 8, and even 9 on first down running the ball, the Saints have went pass, pass, three and out and had to punt. Screw the script. Screw the multiple subs EVERY play. On 2nd and 3 or less, RUN THE DANG BALL!

Re: Sean Payton defends Charles Brown
 

I blame Brown, Jenkins, and Hartley for that. I also blame them for our 10 delay of game penalties this year.
(since they are this week's scapegoats, I thought I'd pile on.)

F'kn Shanle! DOH!!!

Re: Sean Payton defends Charles Brown
 

I agree with Papz. Brooks deserves some blame in this somewhere, somehow.
