Intresting tid bits...
| Quote: | Asked if his season-long punishment was fair, Payton notably chose to avoid a direct answer. He compared the situation to a player having to move on from a bad call.
"It was more or less something you can't control. To dwell on it with the time that I had ... the first week or so, it was difficult," Payton said. "You felt a lot of different emotions. At that point, you have to move on from it. Regardless of how you felt, knowing there were eight months. You'd drive yourself crazy if you just continue to hold those thoughts, whether you thought it was fair or not." |
Very good way of looking at it!
| Quote: | | Payton made it clear he's not happy with the Saints' defense. Their problems "keep him up at night." Payton said the team will start meetings with the defensive staff immediately, and it did not sound like it would be a comfortable experience for defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. |
So papa Sean is POed... Is it all talk or will he make the tough decions and change either the scheme or the players? One of the two has got to go right? I mean the status quo can't remain the same and expect a major improvment simply because of his return.
| Quote: | | The Saints' 7-9 record simply can't be blamed on Payton's absence, the coach said |
See, he says so himself!
| Quote: | | There has been no conversations with the NFL about the Saints getting back the second-round draft pick they lost as punishment in the bounty scandal. |
DAM!!!
| Quote: | | When you play the way we played defensively, it’s going to be hard to win. When you struggle running the football like we did in the first half of the season, it’s going to be hard to win. We struggled at times on special teams. Against the Giants, I don’t know how many yards they had in return yardage. These things keep you from winning games consistently,” he said |
WHAT!!! Bad defense, no running game, poor special teams... and for a moment I was worried Sean wasen't paying attention this season. 
| Quote: | Payton said former Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams' status did not come up during Payton's 4½-hour conversation with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
"I have no interest in talking to Gregg," Payton said.
That says a lot. |
WOW...  Bad blood people, BAD BLOOD!

I am glad that Payton had a chance to see things from a fans perspective. Because in the end, it doesn't matter how someone plays in practice and how well they fit in the locker room. All that matters is that they get it done on gameday. And the defense was the worst in NFL history. Spags deserves a significant amount of the blame because he had an improved defense from GW's 2011-2012 defense and was far worse.
It's nothing personal to Spags. He seems like a great guy...but he is a horrible fit with this personel. Unless the Saints strike gold with a JPP type guy on defense I don't see any way that they will take a significant step forward. The scheme has to change to put the current pieces in place to succeed. |

This team is a Romeo Crennel and a legit 34 NT (which we could land at 15... Hankins, Jenkins, Williams) away from being a very competitive defense.
LE- Hicks
NT- Rookie
RE- Jordan
OLB- Galette
ILB- Lofton
ILB- Hawthorne
OLB- Wilson
CB- White
CB- Robinson
CB- Greer
FS- Jenkins
SS- Harper/Quddus
Romeo would make this unit productive! 3 superbowl championships as NE DC.

Screw drafting a NT, if we switch to a 3-4 we need to take Dion Jordan at 15 and start him over Galette/Wilson. That guy has the potential to be the best 3-4 OLB in the league.

I'd be more curious how closely he followed college football and some of the guys coming out for this years draft. It'd also be interesting to know if he followed other NFL teams and watched their games with an eye on potential FAs or coaches. Questions we'll never have answers to
