Is the DNA of the team now DA

DA is a scrapper. His results may not show it but he's a born leader and it just took Loomis shaking up the roster some to find the right mix of guys to follow him into battle.

You can throw all the stats and history out the window. DA has something to prove this year and has his guy at QB with a new contract showing the team's commitment to building a winner.

Having TC in California, which is closer to Carr's hometown of Fresno will also be great for the team. I predict the huge number of Cali-based Carr fanatics will more than make up for the lack of New Orleans fans in attendance. Plus the cooler weather will prevent injuries and lead to a fresher team come playoff time.
