Accountability

While it's admirable how hard the players have continued to play, I sense that the coaches send mixed messages when it comes to players doing their jobs. Carlos Rogers blows a coverage on a double move and gets benched. Last season, he played arguably the best football of his career in the first 8 games, and was benched after making a few bad plays. Laron Landry regularly makes undisciplined plays, late hits, blown coverages, bad angles, missed tackles due to poor technique, etc. As an aside, Landry makes an ass of himself at least twice a game, bringing attention to himself after making a routine tackle.

I'm tired of the coaches protecting some players while dogging others. Take Suisham - name a kick of any significance that he's made this year. Yet coaches tolerate his short kickoffs, some of which have even gone out of bounds. Put Suisham in to make a big kick with the game on the line, and the results have been spotty at best.

I fully expect Zorn to come to the conclusion that he's so pissed at Landry's play that Carlos Rogers must be benched again when Hall comes back.

Whomever our next coach ends up being, I hope that he brings more of a consistent sense of accountability and consequences for not doing your job.

amen

I agree.

Let's also get guys out of the lineup who aren't making plays. Randle El shouldn't be in the lineup anymore. Not on special teams or WR. I love the guy and he is a person you need on your team but at this point in the year, It's time for Kelly, Thomas and anyone else to get more opportunities.

I disagree about Randle El. I think he really makes his presence known in the slot, and has converted several key 3rd downs for us as a release valve for JC.

Most definitely, Randle El has been valuable for us when he's playing at slot spot.. He always find a soft spot of defense when we needed a long play when we are in 3rd down and long situations.

Edit: on the other hand, I agree with this thread.. Coaches definitely need to start making players take the responsible for their error actions..

Agreed. As long as he's not returning punts, he contributes in POSITIVE ways.

Also, Landry played a good game aside from the 2 double moves he was bunt on. I even saw him make some nice hits and tackles without celebrating and talking smack like usual, I thought there may have been a chance he was either getting a hint or growing up...a few times at least. It WAS Drew Brees' offense burning him at least and not some nobody scrub QB. Brees does that to everyone. Not making excuses, Landry screwed up twice, but it WAS the Saints.

Jeez... Landry sure is public enemy #1 lately huh

I get it to a point, but some of the (over)reactions are a bit over the top.

Well, people would look like idiots to still be blaming Campbell...since President Bush is out of Washington, SOMEONE has to be blamed for our failures.

Yeah LL has taken over for JC in the scapegoat category that's for sure.

i really think part of the reason for that is the fact that campbell stays composed and isn't celebrating when he completes a 15 yard pass

landry on the other hand will stop a guy on a run play after he has gained nine yards and stand up and mug everyone like he just caught an int and returned it for 6

not to mention campbell is producing and lookin good, landry is gettin exposed more and more
