What to expect moving forward
This bigger than Lattimore or DA. Or any player or coach. This is about the New Orleans Saints. The Saints are more important than any individual. I don’t care what your issue or beef is, you play to whistle and address afterwards. You dont quit mid game and walk off the field. You don’t quit mid season and refuse to play. This isn’t about being on DA’s side. Or MT’s side. Or Lattimore’s side. Etc. This is about being on the Saints organization side. I dont care who you are, Winston, Taysom, DA, Lattimore, Peat, SP, or Drew Freaking Brees if you quit on the Saints, on your teammates, goodbye. No individual is bigger than the team.
I’ll repeat it again so everyone knows, I thought DA should have been fired for not winning this division and getting us to the playoffs. I completely understand if there are players who don’t like his coaching style or culture. If Lattimore, Cam, Demario or whoever states in the off-season they would like to be traded or released because they don’t like the staff, fine. I support their choice and will add that to my list of reasons why DA should be replaced. Watching Lattimore play while with the Saints and how he is around his teammates I just don’t believe he would quit on them. Can’t believe it. Maybe he does have problems with DA but even if true, he would play in support of his teammates. You can call me blind, homer, sunshine’s pumper, or whatever but I firmly believe he would play if he was capable. That being said, if it comes out that I’m wrong and he did refuse to play, love you Lattimore but you gotta go. Sorry not sorry.
