Remember, this bunch on defense elected him their Captain, they also elected Junior their Captain the year before....that's why most people have pretty much identified the Saints' defense as a dumpster fire.

I doubt the players have that that much respect for Allen in the first place. They probably view him like kids would view a substitute teacher, throwing spitballs and cutting up... Sean Payton has always had room for a problem child or two on the roster, and he used to find ways to keep them in check. But I can't ever remember a Saints team under his watch with poorer character and less discipline as the last two years. This defense is a lost cause. Whole thing needs to be completely gutted and rebuilt.
