this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Can someone explain why Payton is quick to abandon running the ball when it is successful? Or why he keeps calling screen plays when they aren't working, for whatever reason? Or why he will call for a reverse, double-reverse, etc ...

Re: Sean Payton’s ego has cost Saints
Can someone explain why Payton is quick to abandon running the ball when it is successful?
Or why he keeps calling screen plays when they aren't working, for whatever reason? Or why he will call for a reverse, double-reverse, etc on a short yardage play? Or why he calls a pass on 1st down so often, it is as predictable as which direction the sun rises? As smart as Payton is, sometimes he over-thinks plays. If he doesn't think PT, Ingram, Sproles, Robinson, etc, can't get a yard or two, then maybe he needs to cut or bench that player to send a message. |

Re: Sean Payton’s ego has cost Saints
I love my coach.
Payton's so good, he plans every failure. He is simply just setting teams up… HA |

Re: Sean Payton’s ego has cost Saints
All of his struggles come from lack of confidence in the running game.
He's an excellent pass play caller , but only when the threat of a run exists. He doesn't have enough discipline to run the ball. |

Re: Sean Payton’s ego has cost Saints
What would really suck would be if the Saints somehow blew it this Sunday and missed the playoffs and Dallas loses tomorrow night.
The stage would be set. |

Re: Sean Payton’s ego has cost Saints
I love Payton. His record speaks for itself, especially versus former Saints coaches. From a fans perspective, I just wish he would run the ball more and do less with the sub packages. The one thing that concerns me is, while the comparison is not close in regards to record, brains and ability as a Head Coach, after Haslett had success, he thought EVERY decision he made from that point on was golden. Even when it CLEARLY wasn't. Payton just seems to share that trait. Call it ego, whatever. You have to learn from your mistakes or you're doomed to repeat them. Plus, I do believe most coaches could win with Brees at QB. Just sayin.

Re: Sean Payton’s ego has cost Saints
Good decisions, or bad decision you can't dispute facts.... The fact of the matter is that Payton is worth 3 more wins a season than the average coach.... And now whether we make it or not that has been proven. Just me, im lamenting some of the calls. But Im not the coach, or the staff.... he has earned my trust... #getonboard

Re: Sean Payton’s ego has cost Saints
We have let the O line deteriorate steadily since Goodwin left and others since. We need a center who doesn't get knocked down on a bull rush. A run blocking center. dlp has done a good job but he's not as good as when he first came to town.imho
