The culture.

Sean Payton has changed just about every aspect of the defense on several occasions. Scheme, player personnel, coaches etc.

We are still failing.

IMO there is not a lot of accountability. Specifically on defense. Circle back to culture. Sean Payton calls out our corner (Delvin Breaux), & to some extent threatens a trade. All because he wasn't willing to play on a fractured/broken leg.

What player and/or players are gonna lay it on the line when they witness that?? Did any of you get a chance to watch the 49ers vs Rams game? 49ers have been in a similar position to what we have been last two games. Even with Hoyer at QB, they went "hurry up", on 4th downs. I still saw URGENCY and BELIEF that they could win. To me, it's about pride and culture. I don't see that with the Saints right now. What happened to that killer instinct to destroy your opponent on offense?

Lack of communication on defense, going through the motions, giving up 7 yards a play, Sean not listening to feed back from players, WR's running up the middle WIDE HIGH SCHOOL OPEN. We looked like a team who gave up by the third quarter vs NE.

The culture starts at the TOP. When you think of the Saints and their past success, it's Sean Payton. He's our face of New Orleans & this football team.

Only my opinion here but it's team culture.

And essentially, we're seeing the Saints go through the difficult process of getting all that merde out of the system...
