Sean Payton is in a class of his own
Sean Payton is the top offensive play caller in the NFL, and it's not even close. Now, that's not a slight to the other great play-callers across the league, but no one matches Payton in the preparation and in-game-adjustment phases. He cleverly uses a mixture of formations and personnel groupings to exploit the weaknesses of the opponent, while operating at a rapid tempo. The Saints are one of the quickest teams to the line of scrimmage following a play, which speaks volumes about his ability to think two or three steps ahead as a play-caller.

Additionally, Payton has an outstanding feel for the game and how to set opponents up for big plays off schematic complements. Watching the Saints on tape, I've always been impressed with how well they use the "First 15" script to set up home-run plays in the second half. While most offensive coordinators attempt to utilize this approach, few can match Payton's sense of timing, awareness and anticipation when it comes to dialing up explosives.

Lastly, Peyton deserves the top spot because he is brilliant with in-game adjustments. He shows tremendous patience in sticking with his original game plan, but will make minor tweaks and adjustments to take advantage of defensive coordinator's tactical plans. This routinely results in the Saints catching fire in the second half after experiencing a series of three-and-outs early in the game.

He seems to have gained some perspective and recognizes and appreciates how Saints fan never turned on him or blamed him for what happened, and even went to bat for him.


I think this among other things, will be the source of his inspiration this season.
I don't understand why people automatically think the Saints will lose to the Patriots... last time they played Brees & co. whipped some arse.

You can tell who's not from NOLA based on their reaction to "dat"...


It's not that they're not from NOLA, it's that they have an "LSU" next to their name. There is NOTHING cajun about Baton Rouge or the Tigers and they use the word "Geaux" instead of "Go". Lafayette's in the heart of Cajun Country, and New Orleans is a melting pot of Cajun and other heritages...

I'm tired of the use of the "word" dat. Enough already


It's going to be hard for the Saints to have a Top 10 defense for the simple fact that the defense will end up giving up a lot of yards in garbage time when the Saints are up by 35 points.

sounds like a productive move considering the recent league wide TE play. dont like smith in that situation though. we have taller, faster & more nimble guys to fit that.


Smith may get cut during the preseason if it doesn't play out like Ryan envisions...

They're doing this so they can say "we gave him a shot" before they cut him.


This is the first thing that came to mind when I read the report from Loomis.

Jake Pick-6 Delhomme... no thank you.

The most unfairly shite upon player ever. Big contributor and a key cog in our SB run


This. The media built up this unrealistic hype about Reggie, as a result, some fans had unrealistic expectations as well.

I think the Saints will sweep the Falcons this season.

So, how many games in Chicago without a home reciprocator is it now?


The schedule is based on a formula - there's no bias against the Saints in the home/away ratio with Chicago.

Steve Gleason to announce the selection of Tyrann Mathieu


The Saints will NOT draft Mathieu. They don't need a distraction like him in the locker room. Also, he's an under-sized liability on defense, he would get torched by the taller receivers in the NFL.

I think Robert Marve would be a good prospect as an UFA and project QB for Payton / Brees to coach up.
