There are a lot of reasons why the Saints' 2013 season will be SPECIAL

Sean Payton is regarded as the best play caller in the game. He is masterful at making in-game adjustments, something the Saints sorely missed last season. He has had an ENTIRE YEAR of film study. A whole year of dissecting defensive tendencies. An entire year to analyze weaknesses. This man is ready to unleash havoc on the league.

The only question I have about the upcoming season is how long Coach will let Drew play in the multiple blowout games the Saints will have this year. Personally, I think he doesn't take his foot off the gas pedal at all the whole season.

I agree that he is an amazing OC, but are you saying that he normally doesn't study film? I get that being "away" for a year enables him to focus more on film study, but if he could not contact anyone in the organization, would he have been able to get the same quality of film if he was the active Head Coach?
