It's obvious one of the biggest issues the team had this year was discipline.
huh?

Another huge issue was teams adapting to last years offensive system, and Payton will find creative ways to get Jimmy Graham back up to the elite status of receiving tight ends.
bunch of bla bla bla here, jimmy had a wrist.

Darren Sproles was nowhere near as effective without Payton.
ok so sproles' lack of rushing was our difference?

Look at all the missed tackles, blown blocking assignments, and Drew Brees trying incredibly too hard all the time.

He actually had a higher reception rate per target this year. 14 less receptions and close to 350 less yards. Teams limited his downfield effectiveness.

Teams weren't forced to treat him as the incredible threat he can be. He lost effectiveness as both a runner and a decoy.
I just think overall there was a lack of adaptability on the offensive side of the ball, and Drew having to force passes into tighter coverage this year was evidence of that.

I agree that him walking back in the locker room won't come with a flash of light that evolves the Saints back into a super bowl team overnight. But his absence was a huge factor in this year's outcome.
That being said, I can't see anything that would keep us from winning 10 games or more next season with CSP being back around. Nothing but the defense that is. The D has to improve by leaps and bounds before they can get back to true form.
I think it will improve. And maybe with Sean pushing it will help. But him coming back is only a minor factor when it comes to defense.
Our offense struggled alot this season too. Not nearly as much as the D, but it struggled at times. It was a team season. And it was a bad one.
Only good things can come out of him coming back. But I'm not looking for some sort of miracle either. I'm just happy he's coming back and taking the first step to getting the Saints back on track. Hopefully, the defense will find it's way. Time will tell.
I'm ready for next season already. I want to watch the offense tear through people again.
