Theoretically, Legally, Sean Payton will and can be involved with Saints in 2012
yes, he's suspended from coaching, facilities, games, etc...but he is not barred from keepin personal relationships and friendships, with people from the organization, privately...
thus my point. S.P. will be folliwing the team closley, like you and I, from television, etc...yet, there is nothing preventing any coach, asst. coach or players from contacting S.P., via personal contact and U.S. Mail, as opposed to texting, emails, phone calls, etc, all could be monitored...
dont think for a second, as season starts, games are played and planned weekly, Drew wont hesitate to contact Sean on the side, and ask for input, pkaycalls, strategy from past experiences, etc...on the side, etc, and go from there....theres no stopping it and its legal.
Carmichael, Spags, Drew, whoever, will be in contact at least weekly with Sean Payton simply for input and advice and thoughts as the season progresses...
can't stop it...yes, physically, contractuallu, he is suspended..but he can have lunch, golf, send correspondence, etc...and nothing could prevent S.P. from speaking as friends, with his coaching staff...becauase everyone on that team in 2012 have S.P's back and will play their hearts out for him more than anything else.
2012 will be unusally diiferent, exciting, and we're going to see the most intense nfl team, pkaying lights out to shut up any and all crticism coming their way....evetyone is ecpecting Saints to be like 2011 Colts and fall on their faces, and analysts will be waiting for lisses to start piling up, yet when Saints continue to win, make it look effortless, everyone will be gunning for them to fail....but they wont.
Remember: PT, Sproles, Moore, Ingraham, Graham, Colston and Henderson...undefeated in the Dome..healthy and focused...Saints will be fine guys..
