Former Saints DB Delvin Breaux Opens Up About His Journey, Doctors Misdiagnosing His Injury & Much More [Audio][MERGED]

The situation was a mixed bag. Sean has lost the locker room and was desperately trying to get it back. Delvin admits no one was putting in anything extra and they weren’t very motivated. You had guys like Byrd saying I can’t play but was clearly not that injured.
Spiller couldn’t get on the field, Lewis couldn’t get on the field. Vaccaro injuries. I’m sure Sean was ready to pull his hair out.

Sean Payton carried a ton of fault. People forget just how toxic things were getting before 2017. Ireland and the 2017 draft literally saved his job. Sean Payton also appeared to take a hard look in the mirror and make personal changes. I'm not going to get into the personal issues that Payton may or may not have been facing around that time period...but he certainly didn't look like he was in a good place. I'm just glad we appear to be beyond that. It is actuallly quite impressive to see the change between 2012-2016 and 2017-current. We went from truly being dysfunctional, to one of the very best franchises in football. Much of it has to do with success that was bred largely be our insane success through the draft over that time period, along with Payton seemingly getting his stuff together. Canning the incompetent docs definitely played a role, but there is just no way it was as simple as that.
