by What would make you happiest about Sean Payton and the 23 season? The obvious answer would be a SB and of course a playoff birth is realistic with NFL storylines of worst to first, but those are too easy…. Of these things I feel like we have been tortured by each at some point since the 2000’s.
I’ll give a little explanation behind each category.
8 Wins and never losing by more than one possession makes for entreating football EVERY Sunday. Sometimes it is a indication that your teams not as good as your record, but with us I think it would mean the teams trending in the right direction and could put the NFL on notice in 24. Similar to 22, but with more Ws.
An offense that averages 24 a game, but the defense regresses
The offense moves to being in the top 3rd in the league. We don’t have a late Mike Shanahan defense, but it’s not 22 competent either. It’s not the greatest show on turf offensively either, but we finally see a competent offense since Peyton 2nd to last year.
An Orange Crush Defense, but 22 offense
No Fly zone good. Our deep OLB core develops to be one of the best in the NFL, Damari Mathis Ascends, Pat plays better than Revis and Justin Simmons undoubtedly becomes the best FS in the NFL, but the offense is as good as it was with Hackett.
Player Development
In Spite of all being day 2/3 picks all of our rookies play a role and are competent and avoid rookie mistakes, Rus plays better in 23 with a 25-7 3500 stat line, the roster shows noticeable improvement as the season goes along, players don’t make the same mistakes over and over like Garett Bolles holding or Jeudy drops… all the players make intuitive reactionary plays.
Great Gameday decisions
The coaches coaxh great situational football, we go for it on 4th down and get it a majority of the time. We knows when to take 3 and when to go for the touchdown, we adjust the scheme in game when the opponent is doing something that is giving us trouble, we never have clock management issues, we know when to play certain players and when to bench others.
Well executed scheme and gameplan
We run concepts that build off one another and we have schematic plans for teams tendencies, we put players in the best positions to be successful based on their special skills and abilities we actually have a niche offensively/defensively and are known for executing something at a really high level like Shanahan’s zone scheme or Wades blitzing/man coverage
Honestly I think the one thing I would want most out of the 23 season is well-executed scheme and gameplan… I miss the days where Shanny would have the perfect script for the first couple of opening drives and it looked like he knew exactly what the defense was running, I miss when Peyton knew how to attack a defense…Hell even McDaniels to a point worked miracles and game planned Brandon Marshall open for 21 catches in a game… Since Peyton left it’s like we run individual plays and nothing builds off anything else.
And on defense I want to see us focus on taking the opposing teams best player out of the game. I don’t want to see Devante Adam’s being a determine factor in wether we win or lose, I don’t want to lose to the Jets when we all knew ALL they could do was run the ball with Zach Wilson being at quarterback, We should’ve been able to capitalize more on Seattle having two rookie tackles with veteran pass rushers, Deontee Foreman and DJ Moore SHOULDNT be why the Panthers beat us…etc
