Nick's article today on NOF was one of his best. I encourage everyone to read it. I can't post it because it's a pay site but the gist of what we wrote is that he thought for sure that there would be come cap clearing and getting rid of some older players and some shifting towards rebuilding. But they were not listening, because the Saints had been saying for months that they didn't think the roster was that big of a problem. They think that injuries cut their legs out.
He also wrote that they had a lot of access to the coaching staff recently and when asked what they thought about the team and they referred to the injuries, saying the team " Looked good until" or " Once the QB went down "
He wrote that most of the coaching staff that were here wk 3 wearing green thought that the roster as legitimately good and then pieces started falling away.
He also said that you could look at the team and say "Oh damn, Mccoy, Taysom,Carr, Olave,Shaheed and AK and the other players that got hurt are pretty good at football and the Saints are probably a little better than their record showed. And that's been the feedback from all the guys that took jobs here. He says that what those guys have been saying is logical . Injuries matter. What a shocking take
This part was not in Nick's article
In a way the injury riddled season may be a blessing in disguise. Had we been much more healthy we would probably have won 9-10 games and maybe the NFCS and DA would still be the HC, something we all knew had to change
If that's how CKM and his staff see our team as looking pretty good until the injury bug hit and obviously felt good about it to take the jobs why should they not be trusted? Since they know far better than any of us or anyone in the media.
