Re: Joe Vitt: Saints put more work than ever into this draft class
The best draft we ever had in the history of the Saints went nowhere. For as good as that class was we never achieved anything. Most of our best all time players were not in the draft or we didn't draft them. Having bad / poor drafts, you have to admit, it has kinda worked out big picture.

Re: Joe Vitt: Saints put more work than ever into this draft class
I got teddy on my ignore list so I haven't seen his "theories" in a while, and I thought I came up with some against the grain stuff every now and then. I don't hold a candle to him

Re: Joe Vitt: Saints put more work than ever into this draft class
Goody-goody gumdrops. Depressing to read that. Just reminded me the ENTIRE organization lost their focus and took their eye off the ball. We couldn't win the NFCSOUTH for crying out loud last year when the winner won it at 7-8-1!

Re: Joe Vitt: Saints put more work than ever into this draft class
Those comments from Vitt are not very reassuring...
If fact, it's pretty f***ing depressing... Keep asking the same question: Can you name one linebacker Joe Vitt has developed in the time he's been with the Saints?!? |

If he's a position coach in the NFL, he's not going to be successful sitting back and waiting for someone to give him talent... |

Now, you could also argue that the FO hasn't really given him a lot to work with - since the same guys haven't blossomed elsewhere either - but it would seem that he's more of a cultivator than a developer when it comes to LBs. Also, it would seem he's more comfortable in getting the most out of the blue-collar type players while raw talent and athleticism seems to dumbfound him. But those are all just uninformed guesses, since none of us know what really goes on behind the curtain. |
