Inducted coach of the Broncos during the offseason, Sean Payton takes over from Nathaniel Hackett after a more than disappointing season in Colorado. Despite XXL recruitment, including the arrival of Russell Wilson, mayonnaise never took Denver. Sean Payton is here to change that. The former Saints coach let it be known in an interview with USA Today’s Jarrett Bell that things were about to change, not without trouncing his predecessor in passing.
“It was one of the worst coaching jobs in NFL history. That’s how bad it was. »
In his line of sight, mainly, the attack. If, on paper, with an offensive coach and a quarterback like Wilson, we could expect sparks, it was not. Worse, with only 16.9 points scored per game, the Broncos’ offense was the worst in the whole NFL.
“A lot of people had blood on their hands. It wasn’t just Russell. He just didn’t miss. He still has it in him. All that bullshit about him hitting a wall? Seriously, they couldn’t play. They were 29th in the league in pre-snap penalties on both sides of the ball. »
If the new offensive coordinator of the Jets takes for his rank, he is not the only culprit in the eyes of Payton. The whole organization is to blame for the mistakes of 2022.
“Everything I heard about last season, we do the opposite”
Finishing with a 5-12 record with a squad like the Broncos isn’t just the coach’s fault. And, even if they are his new employers, Sean Payton does not hesitate for a second to scratch the decision-makers in Denver.
“There are 20 people with blood on their hands, for what was allowed, tolerated in the fucking training rooms, the meeting rooms. […] It doesn’t often happen that an NFL team or organization is embarrassed. And it happened here. It was partly their fault, for spending so much fucking time trying to win the offseason, the PR, the image battle and all that. […] Everything I heard about last season, we do the opposite”
Clearly, he explains that the Broncos’ bad 2022 season is in no way Russell Wilson’s fault. For Sean Payton, the guilt would rather be on the side of Nathaniel Hackett, Damani Leech and George Patton.
“It wasn’t Russell’s fault,” he explained, referring to the passes Wilson’s entourage had in the franchise. “We allowed it. This is not an indictment against him, but an incrimination against the coach, the general manager, the president and all the others who saw all this happen. »
In any case, these are statements that have made many ears whistle. Sean Payton better not miss himself, otherwise this moment of truth may well turn against him in the future. But he confirmed it again, he expects success for his team.
“I’m going to be pissed off if we don’t make the playoffs. »
Life seems rosy in Colorado.
