Sporting News: Breaking down new-look Saints: Pressure to win met with smart offseason moves
Finally, a reporter who has taken the honest time to a) critique the Saints on what they've been the past three seasons and, b) analyze the latest off-season moves, acquisitions...
However, the story is focused on player acquisitions and fails to mention coaching changes which is the big elephant in the room everyone is overlooking... |

You have to think the whole thing through....
 Or you can end up with this.

Well, he did mention the change in special team's coaching (Banta), but you are correct, JP. The impact from the removal of Vitt and Johnson and the addition of Nolan and Nielsen may be greater than any actual player move this off-season.

We still have Dan Dalrymple and the horrendous cast of strength and conditioning coaches/medical staff. I'm hoping the new coaching doesn't end up being spent on street free agents by week 3.

Our defense needs to own 3rd down. The previous three year average has N.O. finishing DEAD LAST in opponent 3rd down rate (54% conversion). https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/sta...conversion-pct
Cam Jordan says he needs help behind the line (CBs) and I believe him. |

Speaking of strength & conditioning ... will this guy (Manti Te'O) emerge as a leader at camp & stay healthy?? Big question mark for me.

I've been wondering just how much our conditioning program needs to be tweaked. I hope that the team isn't still doing the work out program Payton used to drop the weight while he was suspended.
New coaching for our players= more wins........hopefully.
