The Saints keep losing, and they're losing a lot more than games at this point.
The Saints aren't expected to be sellers when the NFL's trade deadline hits next Tuesday, and head coach Dennis Allen has made that clear for two weeks in a row. New Orleans is operating with the belief that they can solve everything that is going on in-house. This is the same thing that's been said before, and the problem is. Honestly, it feels like it's getting worse, and that's why there even more skeptics than normal.
Allen said on WWL Radio Monday evening, "I don't think we look at things the same way as maybe people outside our building do. We're not focused on looking in the rearview mirror on what happened in the past. We're focused on what are the things we can control, what are the things we can change, and that starts this week with going to Carolina and getting a win."
Allen believed the Saints were close, citing improvement year over year. "I do think we're progressing in the right way." However, he said the defense wasn't as dominant as they were in previous years. The Saints did all their normal offseason work of defying the salary cap to prove the critics wrong, but the problem is the critcism is actually valid when you aren't performing. What good is it to operate in this way when you don't get the results? What point does it serve to have players commit to the organization to continuing and finishing out their careers on a low note? They don't deserve that. Cam Jordan doesn't deserve to go out a loser.
