I don't disagree with your reflection on the 2009 Saints. And I know you are in agreement on how Hud mismanaged the Cajun offense. But I do not want to allow Hud to go back the dopey coach speak of "turnover battles" ever again. His arguments for shutting down our passing attack... "to win the turnover battle" were founded on his fear of making mistakes.
There is nothing synchronized with our offense and defense in this fictitious "turnover battle" plot. I have no issue with a coach talking about teaching turnover techniques to a defense. Or teaching offensive skill people how to hold onto the ball. But I cannot tolerate risk averse coaching on offense. From risk comes more reward than failure... if your coaching staff is intelligent and knows how to teach.
