Curious as to What Underhill and Triplett Are Saying about Organizational Change

Nick does appear to be uncharacteristically more emotional than usual about this. But, I guess to some extent his livelihood could be on the line if the team is bad for an extended period of time so it's understandable. But I suspect his views will get a bit more nuanced as time goes on.

lol Nick is Nick, he's always emotionally engaged. It's why he didn't stay in New England, he didn't feel that emotional connection w/ the city like he does here in New Orleans. He's a fan too, yet like much of us...I agree, his takes will become more subdued once he escapes the season.

However, I've noticed that typically my emotional reactions during the season...were very accurate and having time to cool down, while it brought a more logical thought process, it also gave more time for the negative to seem less negative...which is dangerous when you're deciding.

Whatever this team looks like the last 2-4 games of the season should be exactly what you measure them on. They are not detail oriented, they're making dumb mistakes, they have no depth, and a lot of guys aren't being used correctly. They don't like creativity and the defense in particular has trouble facing more modern offenses. They can't run block worth a crap and the playcalling typically s**** after the first half and so does the energy.

Those are their problems.
