His contract is too big and he hates playing the 3-4. Thanks for the memories Will. You’re getting traded.

Shanle won’t play for a fifth defensive coordinator, not in New Orleans he won’t.

“Spags” was the Defensive Genius a year ago, now his defensive scheme is one that is so out of whack that veteran players never heard of what he is talking about? I have a theory…… maybe its the defensive personnel? How did Spags go from a Super bowl winning DEF Coordinator to a clueless hack in a span of months?

Welcome to Dallas, for a lot less. Ware, Smith, Hatcher and Lissemore (Ratliff?).

He is gone, that’s been a done deal for quite a while. He’s old, expensive and not good at playing tackle football. Also, I don’t know why Shanle welcomes the change because he is gone also.

Will Smith said he haven’t had a chance to talk to Sean Payton about the 3 – 4 defense the best for Will Smith is to just roll with the flow.

It’s just a great day to be a saints fan.

I feel bad for Spags on the one hand but yet it’s so good to have the commander back on the bridge. This is classic Sean Payton. You do your job if not you get packing. The guy is so decisive and it is so good to have that back. We are talking about a man that will cut his own draft picks in training camp if they can’t pull their weight.

I am just so amped up for August, stay away hurricanes! I don’t want nothing getting in the way of the mission the New Orleans Saints are about to go on.

Welcome back Payton!!!!

The who dat is back!!

At least he has that acting career to fall back on.

It seems like its time for him to go anyway. Cutting his salary would go a long way for us to sign Ed Reed and replacing Harper. The draft is full of DEs that can play in a 3-4 scheme. Im loving what Payton has done and said in just 2 days back. I called Spags firing weeks ago and think this change is just what they needed to do to shake up things. Cant Wait.

Little doubt now that Shanle was the guy that anonymously blasted Spags.

It’s not his fault, it’s the coach. Common lament of every player who under-performs his contract. No $9,000,000 for you.

Shanle is so bad he was benched on a defense that was possibly the worst of all time.
