Your answer, get rid of those better players and plug everyone else in. And you base it all upon Wade Phillips being able to pull this off starting day one.
Well, there isn't going to be a Wade Phillips so it ain't going to happen, Brother. We won't have the chance to see if it is yet anther total disaster due to once again changing defensive schemes in mid-step or a miraculous transformation with our leftover players and whomever else we can scrape together to field a squad for King Phillips. |

Re: You're Sean Payton
A good example of why changing schemes is a bad idea, watch the Browns next year. They booted there 3-4 DC and brought in Greg Williams and his base 4-3. The Browns have a million draft picks and they are still gonna be the laugh of the league because of choices like that.

Also, stop making statements like "Allen is flexible, Phillips is strictly 3-4". Please... And don't tell me what happened 2013-2014. I saw the games. Ryan's system wasn't complex; on the contrary, his system was so simple, he got figured out, just like he's gotten figured out the next season everywhere he's been. |

I get it. You feel the need to defend Allen. And who knows, Allen may turn out to be the next Bill Belichick. However, the point still stands: the Saints have 2-3 more years with one of the best QBs in the history of the NFL. Do you at least take a shot at luring one of the best DCs around, who is currently not signed, with a proven track record spawning several years on different teams, or do you go with the unproven commodity? Personally, I'd at least try to get the proven commodity in here. If he tells me "no thanks" or "it'd take me a couple years to get the players I need", ok, then... |

And I'm not regurgitating what a reporter is saying. Some of those quotes were from Payton himself. Anyone that isn't blind could see the confusion out there during 2014 and the first half of 2015. The substitution scheme was so complex that the players, and their positional coaches, couldn't keep up with it. The exact same thing happened in Dallas. That is a fact whether you admit it or not. The same thing was happening in Buffalo this season. I saw it happening there. I watched quite a few Buffalo games this season because of fantasy players on both my teams and my wife's team. There were a number of occasions with 10 or 12 players out there on defense. That is due to the complexity of the scheme. Plain as day. |
