I also agree completely about the defensive coordinators. Some around here must not have a problem with that point as they are wishing that door would take yet another turn. Hopefully Payton has learned that lesson. Just has he has learned from the past draft mistakes. After bringing in Jeff Ireland, the draft results over the past two years have been mush better, don't you agree?

I agree that the draft picks have improved as of late. I also think that the FA's we brought in last year were some of the best since Payton's early years in NO. So, things seem to be heading in the right direction. I don't understand how we signed Galette to a multiyear contract one year and cut him the next because he was a disruptive force in the locker room. Years back, when the Saints were a premier team and people were using the dynasty word, Loomis commented how he and Payton focussed on bringing in athletes with character. Seems that someone lost the ability to diagnose a cancer.

It appears that during Payton's year away from the team has had a long term impact. Hopefully, this will get things in order in time for Brees to get us another ring.
