Shanle gives insight into Saints Pay for Performance system

kevinh said

The way Shanle's coming off here, it shows me exactly why the players have kept quiet for so long.

This story doesn't really seem to be helping anything at all. The way Shanle words it, it sounds like we were paying out specifically for injuries---just not intentional ones. I hope he clears this up soon.

Yeah, I know this isn't a popular opinion, but that's kind of how I took it too.

If they weren't paying extra for knockouts and cart-offs, I don't see why they would need to differentiate between that and just a generic big hit label.

And again, it is true that the NFL has blown all of their "evidence" way out or proportion, their reaction has been extremely over the top, but I still don't see this as any kind of vindication for us like a lot of other people seem to.

I thought it was also a little concerning that Shanle wouldn't deny Vilma offering money towards knocking out Warner or Favre.
