Saints return from bye with little room for error, Brandin Cooks says

Whatever additional changes could come the New Orleans Saints way via coach Sean Payton were not immediately evident after one day back from their bye. At least not for one player.

Saints receiver Brandin Cooks said Monday during a promotional event at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome that things seemed mostly the same as before, with a continued desire to turn a 4-6 record into something positive.

"Everything seemed the same," Cooks said after a Monday practice. "Whatever (Payton) has going on, I'm pretty sure he's doing it for a reason."

The Saints play Sunday at the Houston Texans (5-5), who hold a three-game win streak and the No. 5 passing defense by yards allowed.
"We got to know we're on a short leash right now," Cooks said. "We don't have any room for mistakes. We got to go in with our head down and go to work and battle like we've been doing all season."

The Saints fired former defensive coordinator Rob Ryan one day after a 47-14 loss Nov. 15 at Washington that stood as the most lopsided defeat in the Payton era.

The team moved Dennis Allen into Ryan's old coordinator role, and Payton said last week other changes "might take a little bit of time and it might hurt going down for some people, but we'll get it squared away."

"It happens in this game," Cooks said about the Saints' firing of Ryan. "We just have to stay focused on what we have to."
