New Orleans Saints running back Deuce McAllister said he understands why changes were made to the team's coaching staff following an 8-8 season which kept the Saints out of the playoffs.

"Obviously it's a situation where we were a stagnant team,'' McAllister said Friday on a visit to Shreveport for Circuit City's grand opening. "Offensively, defensively, and at times, on special teams. Hopefully it will give us a boost.

"I lost a good coach, our running backs coach (Dave Atkins). I wish him the best. Probably the best thing about the whole situation is we'll keep our terminology. It won't be a whole new system. We'll keep our terminology the same. There will be some tweaks in the system, obviously.''

Yeah, like how to execute a screen pass maybe?
And how to properly utilize a FB?

think about how long this has gone on and how bad it is when a player is telling the public this at a circuit city.

...hope? :shrug:
