I dont want to belabor a point and wont post about this again but .... going to the 4:40 mark, ST blocked a dude in direct pursuit of a redskins ball carrier. That was his no. 1 job. The skins had the ball.

Former Saints linebacker Scott Shanle was one of those players. He tweeted, “just when you thought you have seen it all. I just dont understand what going on… speechless, confused, etc etc”

“Obviously when you’re playing a screen pass, you want to get to the ball,” Payton said, via Christopher Dabe of the New Orleans Times-Picayune. “And those are some of the mistakes we’re discussing. . . .
“You’ve got to get to the ball. You’ve got to play the ball. Every once in a while there are certain battles, . . . you don’t want to fight a battle if it doesn’t involve getting to the football.”
