Darren Sproles on radio (1 Viewer)

[Yatman]

He can't draw up offensive plays.

disagree

i find da's playcalling quite offensive

 

[AARPSaint]

He was traded for a draft pick that resulted in Fortt IIRC. That's what irks me about the trade, with advantage of 20/20 hindsight of course.

Why use Kamara when you have Callaway!!!!!!!!!!

Why do some of you continually blame Calloway when DA and PC have effectively abandoned the use of veterans on the team, besides AK41 and Hill, for rookies? Except for Olave and Shaheed, they have no offense because DA and PC misuse AK41 and Hill. They won’t game plan to the strengths of any of their veterans. DA stubbornly inserts Dalton in at QB despite loss after loss, albeit, Dalton played a good game Monday night. He’s more conservative than Jim Mora and Carl Smith (who would have thought), and he’s converted a really good passing attack into a toothless road grading machine without the RBs to get the job done. Just really stupid coaching.

For AK to have space we need to get their safeties out of the box
That was true for Drew’s last 2 seasons as well

The other problem with the running game is the inability of the OL to create holes. Some of this can be attributed to injuries.

The play was also one Dalton checked into (not that the original call was better) and the pass was behind Callaway's catch window.

My comment wasn’t really about Callaway, but the terrible play calling by our coaches. Taysom down the middle, most likely would have gotten us the first down!

Sproles and PT could run that screen with the best of them. Brees command and pacing of his offense was a beauty to watch. We miss you Sproles.

If that were true, he wouldn't have tried first down runs up the gut on seemingly every single first down last game.

I was gonna post this same thing

Stubbornly inserts Dalton? Who else is he gonna put in? Definitely not Winston who was absolutely awful when he was the starter. He was a sack or turnover waiting to happen because he doesn't know a check down is, or doesn't know how to read his progressions. Dalton may be 0-5 in the playoffs but how many playoff games has Winston led his games to? Hint. It's the same amount of games that I have led in NFL team to the playoffs for.

Under Payton, Kamara used to be effective running wheel routes in the passing game for big gains up the sidelines.

He hasn’t run one this season.

That’s 100% on the coaches not using him effectively in play calling.

I think playing calling has been a problem. All season long I have been waiting and looking from the fake run/pitch out to Kamara inside the 10. Kamara normally walks into the endzone on that play. I haven't seen it once all season. What we normally get is Taysom coming out or Ingram/Kamara running up the middle for limited yardage and then have to try and throw it in on 3rd.

A turnover waiting to happen? This is not the TB regime in which he saw five different systems in five years and was asked to air it out, even under Arians. Heck, Brady was turning the ball over under Arians until he rebelled. Winston in a Saints uniform is 6-3 with more TDs than TOs. Dalton is 2-7 and and has just as many TOs this season as Winston has in the two plus years he’s been with the Saints. So cut the crap and bury your past. DA and Dalton aren’t getting it done.

Right, and would’ve kept the clock running.

I would have been fine running Taysom up the middle twice. Needed to show some guts!
