The Sean Payton-Nathaniel Hackett beef is exactly the drama the NFL needs

“Everybody’s got a little stink on their hands,” Payton claimed. “It’s not just Russell. It was a (poor) offensive line. It might have been one of the worst coaching jobs in the history of the NFL. That’s how bad it was.”

“Everything I heard about last season,” he included, “We’re doing the opposite.”

That would certainly have sufficed of a stab, yet there was extra. Payton following transformed his focus to the Jets, that authorized Hackett as their offending organizer in the very same summer season they landed Aaron Rodgers. Both interacted formerly when Hackett was Rodgers’ offending organizer in Environment-friendly Bay.

“It doesn’t happen often where an NFL team or organization gets embarrassed,” Payton claimed. “And that happened here. Part of it was their own fault, relative to spending so much (expletive) time trying to win the offseason – the PR, the pomp and circumstance, marching people around and all this stuff.

” We’re refraining from doing any one of that. The Jets did that this year. You enjoy. ‘Distress.’ All of it. I can see it coming.”

No one knows precisely what Payton is hoping to achieve here. Scratch that; Sean Payton does. Because make no mistake, none of this is by accident. He didn’t just wake up the other morning and decide to stick a pin in a Nathaniel Hackett voodoo doll because he felt like it. There was a purpose behind it, a competitive purpose, and that’s part of why he has been a successful NFL coach.

The details.

We can speculate, of course. What better way to show your current players that you have their back – and especially your quarterback coming off a miserable campaign – than essentially laying all the blame of what went wrong last year at the former coach’s feet?

What better way of making your fan base feel that the corner has been turned than by declaring that some other team with a high-profile new QB is about to start experiencing difficulties like the ones they just lived through?

And frankly, because football fans are all geared a certain way and we can’t resist it, what better way of getting everyone together than by picking a fight, one that will surely elicit a response?

Jets head coach Robert Saleh tried not to bite, but there is a streak of tribal pride running through every football program and there was no way Saleh could completely let Payton’s comments pass.

” I’m not going recognize Sean,” Saleh told reporters, before acknowledging Sean. ” He’s remained in the organization for some time, he can claim whatever the heck he desires. As for what we have taking place below, I type of obey the stating, ‘If you ain’t obtained no haters, you ain’t standing out.’ So dislike away.

“Obviously, we’re doing something right if you’ve got to talk about us when we don’t play you until Week 5.”

This is type of terrific, isn’t it? A potential dogfight generated from the pet dog days of summer season. Below we have it, the feistiest brand-new competition in the NFL as well as some juice that will certainly maintain moving completely in between currently as well as the very first weekend break in October.

It’s upset as well as petty as well as, if we’re being truthful, borderline ridiculous. Yet you take what you can enter regards to football activity when it’s not also August yet as well as this– many thanks Sean Payton – was activity.
