All the smoke is still clearing.
These things are never really settled.
Jimmy wanted BIG money, and had to go. He earned the right to ask for it.
Our TE play hasn't been the same since he's been gone.
And to kick him for being out for injury is just something none of these guys can control.
Unger has definitely been a plus.
I still have a hard time buying into a "player" that can't play 4-3/3-4.
As poorly as we tackle and get gashed on cut-backs, it's amazing.
Players can just play. Tacklers can just tackle. Hitters can just hit.
Good feet can just avoid all the ground clutter and get to the football.
Anthony is a player. You can't teach speed and a nose for the ball.
There has to be something else there.

It's both skill set and what a player was taught and has played through college ...

Either way, the Saints need to reign in Dennis Allen and/or get a position coach who gets Stephone Anthony back on the field and at the Mike, leading this team, producing, making plays...
