All Things Considered,
we had 10 starters out this game and 8 Coaches! Tell me that isn’t unprecedented!
This loss was a beat down, we were dominated in a lot of ways, but all things considered, not in the typical way.
You see, let’s take Payton’s calls off the table, they were bad, one of his worst coaches games. But why? Because he was stretched thin. We are no stranger to Payton getting too cute, but with the lack of support around him, maybe he felt out of rythm and out of sync. we all know this happens for players AND for coaches.
now to the players, the OLine got dominated. Frankly, O Line is the most important position to have major coaching support. It was clear it wasn’t there and as the game went on, guys just got worse and worse.
Winston, very panicked. But I don’t buy the “old Winston” narrative. The media will play that but it wasn’t the story of the game. The first INT was consequential. Yes, but I see why he did it, to try and make a spark. That, is coachable.
this game was lost in the one on one matchups. Particularly the O line as mentioned above but also on defence, WOW, did our LBs look a step behind, WOW was there confusion and lack of communication. But that’s going to be par for the course with all those game time decisions. What’s missing in it is, when those inactives happen, it’s a double duty or work on the coaches to keep the new starters focused and thinking clearly. How can you do that with so many D coaches gone?
To me, all things considered, we were not close to 100% as a team and although people may think the sky is falling, when you consider the above, and realize that it is only week 2 and we have an extra game to play this season, you got to think the timing is better now than later on.
we as fans have to find our feet like the saints d in the second half. We got a long way to go.
and all things considered, I think we come out firing next week!
Let’s Regroup and Get At It!
