Jim Mora didn’t like Rizzi chewing out Matthew Hayball

As already stated by myself and others, Hayball was supposed to be a safety net in case the returner got past those 10 players. But since he decided to join the scrum and play out of position, the returner got past him and everyone else.

A lot of you criticizing Rizzi would be calling for Hayball's head here and the GD thread had the flag not be thrown and the Saints lost.

Nobody is saying that Hayball didn't deserve to get chewed out or yelled at. It's a question of degree and how far he went. He went so far that AK had to pull him away from Hayball. IMO, that's a bad look for a guy who wants a multi-million dollar per year job as the face of your franchise.

And, the truth is that lots of other guys had to have not been doing their job in order for it to get the point where the punter has to make the tackle. Either that or it was a very poorly designed coverage and well all know Rizzi is a very good special teams coach so it likely was lots of mistakes by lots of guys, not poorly designed coverage or just because Hayball was too aggressive.

Beyond that, Shaheed muffed a punt earlier this year inside the 2 that did result in a Falcons TD and AK dropped an easy TD pass in the 2nd game against the Falcons. The Shaheed muff more or less cost us that game and the AK drop almost cost us the second Falcons game. Neither of those guys got the red faced and headset throwing treatment.
