Michael Thomas deletes X account over Carr comments?? (2 Viewers)

which could, COULD be some explanation for the mental state.

He may very well understand that the injuries he has sustained are going to keep him from attaining ELITE status, and that may be playing havoc in his mind.

im not excusing his antics- they are completely opposite "team building" - just offering up a possible reason he seems to have grown caustic with the team.

It's also a reflection of a rudderless, leaderless team with no direction. Carr yelling at teammates, MT's antics on Twitter, AK's low key criticism are all symptoms of failure at the top. All that off-the field noise slides down the pipe when a team is winning but when a team isn't winning, it's the sign of a rotten, failed team culture and lack of leadership.

There are thousands of reads that all elite quarterbacks had missed. But to that one play,who was the one that tip the ball up and not catching it and causing the turnovers? Please stop deflecting every failure solely on Carr.

I'm just stating the obvious from looking at that replay. It's a pass that Brees makes easily because he knew the offense, he could read the field and he knew where to go with the ball. Carr doesn't. Telling the truth about Carr isn't deflection. I'm not trying to hurt your feelings by telling the truth.

I'm sitting here wanting to blast Carr into little pieces but I can't when he hits a TE in the hands, in stride and the TE causes an INT.

See this? This is from the Sunday gameday thread. This is me not blaming Carr for the interception. How you luv dat?

Here's the 22 clip of the play. PLay design was to the right to CO but he was covered, 2nd read was AK but also covered. DC starts to drift to the right, JJ breaks free just as AT clears the LB in fact JJ starts to break free BEFORE AT clears the lb . With DC drifting to his right and JJ breaking free it was the right read. To make that throw to AT DC would have had to throw across his body or STOP, RESET and make the long throw with the rusher bearing down on him. You can blame a lot on DC but NOT this play. Right read , right throw, ALL on JJ. NO MATTER what MT tweets

That is exactly what I saw on that play. It was ALWAYS designed to go to the right side of the field and AT was only there to clear out a defender. The defense didn't even take the bait and stay with AT because the formation the motion of the players including Carr were all going right. AT wasn't even in the progression, he was a decoy.

I'll say this again, but this time I'll be a little nicer. Mike Thomas has been an issue with his mouth from about year 3 on. Difference is Sean Payton kept it in house and handled it. Mike Thomas has been talking out using social media last year, this year more and more. He's never had any consequences from it. He knows that he's pretty much has the Saints by the cojones, he's pocketing money he didn't earn, can say what he wants to say with no fear of repercussions (Dennis Allen is not Sean Payton by a long shot). Leadership of this organization is a joke. They lost that when Payton left (Mickey isn't Sean either). Mike Should have been cut last year but we restructured his contract and gave him even more money than we already had. Close that book, let Mike ride off in the sunset with the money he didn't earn and forget he ever existed.

Just saying, if Mike had just been on the sideline (helping his teammates) .... then we aren't talking about what he did or didn't tweet. Maybe instead of tweeting about who was open, he, GASP, could have told Derek Carr who was open! People take notice of that stuff:

which is a testament to coaches who can navigate the "down years"

coaching is much more than Xs and Os. And if you aint "got it", you aint "gettin it"

DA aint got it.

And i suspect its deeper than that. ( with regards to how DA is )

It's a sign of the times. I grew up in a time when the only people who knew about all of my stupid thoughts or comments were me and the man upstairs. I find the idea of letting the world know every and any stupid thing I've thought abhorrent.

As for the sheet I post here, that's different. Everything I post here is perfect.

I tell you the narrative on that tweet is something else, especially with none of us knowing the preparation through the week.

Thomas is done. Don’t be surprised if he’s benched for the rest of the year and never plays another down for the Saints.

If they do that, they should bench DA and not let him coach another down the rest of the year. If you gonna hold the players accountable, hold the coaches responsible too. They are the reason for this rudderless ship.

Brees would have known before the snap that based on the coverage, if the deepest safety helped out on Olave, the route going across the field would be open. We've seen that play before many times with MT and we've seen Brees hit MT on that play. Having watched Brees run this offense, I believe that Brees throws that to AT 10 out of 10 times. But that is because Brees was able to read the field and knew where every route would be and Carr can't read the whole field.

The deepest safety was not helping out on CO , he was playing centerfield Your wanting to blame DC is clouding your judgement

 

[DSnfla]

Watch the play again. Brees makes that read and makes that throw in his sleep. Carr had plenty enough time.

You're just completely wrong and just want to blame Carr

 

[DSnfla]

Michael Thomas won't be on this team in a year. Calling MT a cancer is an interesting take, and initially I bristled at it, but when you think about it - while his insights are helpful..he is silently destroying team trust w/ his antics. I can't blame him, he's obviously unhappy, but so are other players like Kamara and Juwan Johnson, but they are hardly taking the path that Thomas is.

Saints should be looking at drafting a WR next year.

Yup and this is a good yr to do just that

 

[DSnfla]

I have this nagging feeling that DA has done more harm in this situation than Carr. I think back to the stories I read about Russell Wilson and how the Seahawks began to feel a way about how Pete Carroll handled Russ and that fractured the team. Just seeing how Dennis Allen is handling the media around Carr, it just feels like the same thing is happening. I don't think Carr is anywhere as bad as they were saying Russ was (Sean Payton busted ALL of that up..lol) but I believe that if there is a locker room situation, DA created that monster.

DA, PC and Marrone are 80-90% of all our problems

Prep during the week means little or nothing. Watson is in the stands with his GF doing NOTHING to help his team JB is there right beside the starting QB helping him SMH. Thank all that is holy we did not get Watson

 

[DSnfla]

If they do that, they should bench DA and not let him coach another down the rest of the year. If you gonna hold the players accountable, hold the coaches responsible too. They are the reason for this rudderless ship.

I want DA gone yesterday, but DA did not sit at home while the team was fighting and tweet criticisms of a player fighting on the field. Anyonecanguardmike needs to go
