4th and 4 and you call long pass to Wilson ???
At some point, leadership within the organization has to start asking questions:
1. Derek Carr made no attempt to work through his progression so it’s either poor decision making, which he has a proven track record or it was on purpose (I’ll say it)?
A person doesn’t make that throw on such a low percentage completion rate without doing it on purpose. He made no attempt to even look towards Juwan Johnson. He even made a point during the week to infer his return wasn’t going to mean a win.
2. I thought lowly of the Klint Kubiak hire when it was made due to his track record in the past and his decision making on plays has been atrocious. The Saints lead the NFL in runs on 3d down with a horrid offensive line. Is it incompetence? Hubris thinking his scheme will work no matter what trash lineman is blocking? He isn’t tailoring his plays to the talent available but rather continuing his scheme that doesn’t fit the talents of the players.
Why call a play like that knowing DC has a track record of questionable calls? Take away his options…KK’s hubris is going to cost this HC and I’m here for it because DA lacks the courage to lead.
3. Anyone who says DA couldn’t override the play call has NEVER led anything in their lives. Good leaders know what’s right and have the courage to ensure the right call is played. You don’t have to be an offensive guru to know that was a dumb play call.
Who hired the person calling the trash plays? DA did so not only does he lack courage, he lacks the decision making ability and judgment to make the right calls on the field and off the field.
There are multiple issues with this staff and just firing DA will not be the fix. It’s a problem from the top down starting with ML.
The fact that ML let Dan Campbell walk out of that building after multiple teams interviewed him says enough about ML’s decision making process because he decided to go with the ‘yes man’ DA to lead the Saints on the field and it’s showing he made a poor decision…ONCE AGAIN.
