Re: The Decline and Fall of Payton’s Empire, or How the Culture of Gregg Williams Ruined the Saints
I don't know if its a decline and fall. I think we are having a down year. With a QB like Brees coaches like Payton will find a way to right the ship.

I am still amazed that they were so good together. That is when the youth movement started up a bit for the defense so in many ways you were starting from scratch. call it a fluke or whatever those defensive players the saints got together back in the beginning may not have been super stars or shut down types but they functioned well as a unit and had chemistry. that is the point of this piece. he got more out of what he had to work with than any DC since. No way that unit should have gotten us to the super bowl. They did just enough. Believe me it was not all talent. It was all guts and smarts |

Williams gambled too much
The last 49 drive in the 2011 playoffs All he needed to do was go prevent zone They go man single coverge and dial up a blitz Williams wants the 49ers to go down with shock and awe and Vernon Davis smokes us That could have easily been another Super bowl Champion |

Those were some of the least talented defenses the Saints have had in the last few decades, Williams deserves more credit then what you are giving him. |

There wasn't a "Davis play" - he was open all day long. Agree that he "did more with less" and that's a far cry from what RR has done with more. |
