Really good read.

I liked this part:

"And at left guard, Senio Kelemete, whom Strief recently called “the most-ascending” player on the team, has done a standout job in spot duty and has quietly been one of the keys to success this season."

Sounds like the light may finally have came on for Kelemete and that is not one day too soon.

Credit Roushar for the turnaround in not only Kelemete, but Peat as well...

Now to figure why Lelito's progession arc flattened so fast...injury?

Wouldn't it be a great story if Benson invited Jeff Fisher in for a cup of gumbo and let him watch practice?

Saints FO should be passing out pink slips to the above referenced coaches upon completion of the season. These areas are a direct result of the disappointing 2016 campaign.

2017 or bust ... all hands on deck.

Are these your grades or did they come from elsewhere?

I think you're dead on with the grades but I wouldn't have been as generous to Bill Johnson.

I think the improvement in the D-line this season has been more about personnel than it has coaching. My idea of a good coach is someone that makes the whole greater than the sum of it's parts. A couple times this season I've thought one unit or another played above there heads; The secondary considering the injuries, The O-line, considering the shambles they were in preseason, the wide outs, considering their inexperience... I don't think I've ever thought that once about the D-line going all the way back to when Johnson joined the Saints.
