Re: Saints can credit 2017 turnaround to improved scouting under Jeff Ireland
I am tipping my hat to FA signings right now over the last two tears.
DA getting Ireland to nab FAs Klien and Robertson look to be huge steals Okafor, Stupar and Te'o are looking like solid additions Next up Gerald Hodges These are the huge moves that have changed the saints over the last two years. |

Re: Saints can credit 2017 turnaround to improved scouting under Jeff Ireland
Free Agents signings are definitely getting better; only disappointments I have are:
...not that Warford has been awful, but I'd rather had spent an extra mil and gotten Zeitler who is more mobile and as effective in pass protection (even better with Brees)... Losing out on Zeitler, we're forced to overpay for Warford because of those two being the onlyacceptable options on the market in a high-priority position for us... ...not vetting Nick Fairley's heart condition and rushing to extend him also took other options off the table for us this season... ...maybe the Payton/Loomis learned as attested by the Jon Dorenbos retracted trade (and saving of his life)... ...and then the Adrian Peterson signing which was at first excited because it signaled a commitment to run, but was reminded this is Sean Payton's team... ...with the Peterson money slot we could've signed, upgraded, or add'l linebacker and/or interior offensive lineman... But none of the big albatross contracts like that of Byrd... |

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Re: Saints can credit 2017 turnaround to improved scouting under Jeff Ireland
Sometimes wonder if the handcuffs were taken off of Jeff Ireland if things would've been different with Nick Fairley (better vetting)...
