Consider if Sean Payton, three years ago, would have fired Vitt, Johnson, McMahon? Is the coaching stafff better than it was three ago? Consider our defensive line, linebackers, cornerbacks, are they better deeper than three years ago? Is the personnel better than it was three years ago? Consider our kicking game, specifically our placekicker... Is that position better than it was three years ago? Look, many of these changes were looooong overdue, Payton was slow to do them and only having been the only guy to deliver a Lombardi and a 92yo owner gave him that time... You've responded, liked/disliked my posts as much as anyone and you know how critical I've been of Payton the GM, Loomis the YesMan, and the Front Office needing to restructure... So things like extended Nick Fairley without a more intense cardio workup with knowledge of him having cardio anomalies... And the Saints Front Office and Payton acknowledged they screwed up and it's saved a life - Jon Dorenbos... There's two (2) things that I'd say I'd be critical of at this point that Payton needs to address, and quickly if he's to save this season, and likely his job... First, he's got to make a decision by the BYE week if D.A. is his man or if it's time to move on; don't think Payton didn't bring in Mike Nolan just to coach LBers - he's the backup plan... Second, we screwed up shifting every two years between schemes, and I'm not sold on Rankins (Hicks, now with Chicago looks better)... It may be time to put Rankins in a part-time role (like Fairley) and rotate those D-Lineman, giving them all a chance to eat, and be fresh for for 4 quarters... We may just have to let Payton and this team regurgitate the remnant poor play and poor decision making to get that groove back... And though the losses were embarrassing, they weren't against division foes, so lets let the first quarter of the season play out... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
