Jeff Duncan: Inside the Saints Culture Issues

Wow@the bolded, especially in a season where Kamara's leadership was highlighted. @new city champ gave us an interesting viewpoint but it begs to question, what culture were the trying to maintain and do they really understand what culture is? It sounds like the brass wanted to maintain aura of culture without the work to maintain it. If Jimmy and Cam talks about how thing was done to build the culture (especially Cam, as he has been through the peaks and valleys), then I would listen. But again, just speculating because we are all on the outside looking in.


Are you sure you are remember 2021 correctly?
All this.

If they’re undercutting DA because he’s not holding players accountable, then maybe DA is the one who needs to look in the mirror. Payton was notorious for attention to detail. Even the article points out that Strief confronted Payton about his own accountability slipping, and Payton had to refocus.

But…that’s the difference. Payton refocused. He didn’t throw Strief under the bus.
