Week 14 Post-game AMA: Ugly win at a high price

Has Rizzi out coached anyone across the way yet to put his guys in position to succeed?

I think that's more a coordinator question. What I see from Rizzi is more game management and decision-time focus. The result is 3-1 and two of those wins being decided by less one score or less. I am really unsure saying this, because it *feels* like I might be wrong... but I think 2 wins in games decided by less than a TD is already better than DA in that category over his entire HC tenure with the team.

But yes--I have seen the Saints outcoaching teams at times. But I also see them still blowing situationals, which, honestly... as down as they are on depth, that's usually where it shows up.

The difference in NFL talent, generally speaking, between your #1 and your #2 at a position isn't that glaring. It's the situational play where you get exposed. With the game on the line, a play where Tyrann Mathieu nabs an int. to win the game, Jordan Howden triggers to early and runs into his own teammate.
