Who's left out?

From an Article:

The Saints were without the following coaches for last week's game against Carolina: Defensive line coach Ryan Nielsen, pass rush specialist Brian Young, wide receivers coach Curtis Johnson, tight ends coach Dan Roushar, running backs coach Joel Thomas, offensive analyst Jim Chaney, offensive assistant Declan Doyle and special teams assistant Phil Galiano.

You can include Galiano on the list of those that are back, so that leaves the following as being still out:

-Defensive line coach Ryan Nielsen
-Pass rush specialist Brian Young
-Offensive assistant Declan Doyle
-Tight ends coach Dan Roushar

Am I missing anyone?

Ryan Nielsen is a huge loss. Fortunately no big deal if Dan Rouchar is out as we don’t have a TE anyway.

Fortunately all the injured players were involved.

In Taker’s post above, it shows he is also the run game coordinator. Game 1, dominant OLine, 171 rushing yards. Game 2, OL might as well had never gotten off the bus. 48 total yards rushing.

Not saying Roushar’s absence was the primary difference but I’m confident his void is meaningful.

We have young ones which IMO makes it important

Dan was the OL coach before Nielsen iirc so yeah his absence was meaningful

No team is going to be successful without all of those coaches present. If they could teams would eliminate those coaches and save the money. They exist because they are needed. And teams scour the market for best ones.

Sometimes it isn't X's and O's either. Sometimes it's that position coach that really knows how a player ticks and he knows just what to say to make him forget the bad play or series and be hyped up for the next opportunity.

We need our center back to make the offense calls we lacked last week.
