It appears the Saints, under the direction of former Defensive Coordinator Gregg Williams, broke league rules by paying players to intentionally hurt opponents. Williams, a well-respected coach throughout the NFL, stood up and accepted the blame, even going so far as to say that he knew it was wrong when they were doing it, yet continued the practice.
Does this news change your view of the Saints and their success? Does it taint their defensive accomplishments in your eyes?
One of the things that jumps out at me initially is the lack of player leadership to stand up to the coaches to say it is wrong. It's not popular, or easy, to stand up to coaches, but still surprised no one had the courage to stand up for what is right.
Your thoughts?
