New Orleans Sports Writers For The Times Picayune: Has Any One Noticed?

Last year at this time New Orleans sports writers for the Times Picayune were predicting great things for the Saints season.  Some said the Saints were super bowl contenders and it was the best roster ever.  They were also high on defensive coordinator Rob Ryan.  It was the usual cliches and hype that sports writers feel is part of the game of over paid players and coaches.

But this year they have been very cautious with their comments and predictions.  In fact some of their reports have been very negative on this years team.  They seem to have taken to heart what this writer said about them in past commentary in "PolitiDose" the last few years concerning their reports that were way off base.

This writer believes Payton has no confidence in Rob Ryan and that is why he hired a defensive assistant to work with Ryan.  No one will admit it but the Saints now have a co-defensive coordinator and that never works.  One man has to be in charge for obvious reasons.  Payton made a mistake with one defensive coordinator a few years ago and is not the kind of person to admit he made a mistake with Ryan.

It will be interesting to see how sports writers cover the Saints once the regular season opens.  And "PolitiDose" will be there with commentary to watch over them.
