Re: Saints mailbag: What's the biggest disappointment of the season?
DT3 is where I'm most disappointed...
I'd like to see where this defense could be had checked Fairley out thoroughly as he had known heart ailments, before rushing to sign him to an extension... We'd have invaluable veteran help on in defensive interior... Individually, disappointed DT Justin Zimmer who'd opened OTAs and Training Camp with great promise, amazing athleticism, just disappeared as camp progressed... Man, could we use an athletic DT3 to rotate with Rankins right now; can't help but wonder why the Saints didn't get him more snaps to develop... Justin Zimmer signed with the CFL Montreal Alouettes where he gets regular playing time, reps at game speed; Alouettes may suck, but he's flashed... Also, I was disappointed we didn't make a trade for Bills DT Marcell Dareus as the stars were aligned for us to make this deal... Could you imagine a reenergized Marcell Dareus in our front four right now? What he could do to help progress the development of Rankins? The load he'd take off of Cam Jordan? The Saints D could be Top 5 with him in there right now... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Point I'm illustrating is better vetting practices and an earlier effort we would have had better options in Free Agency and the Draft to get more talented help... With regards to Zimmer, he definitely flashed, but he was not getting the reps he needed to improved his game to a level where he could be that DT3-A option... And I didn't mentioned earlier, but Mitchell Loewen was surging playing out of his mind, until he got hurt; so there was that as well... There were guys outplaying McDaniel on the roster already... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
