I think we understand – ProFootballTalk

Sean Payton could have performed a victory dance after the NFL owners voted to expand the replay Tuesday night. He did not do it.

Or at least not in his post-voting talks.

"I think it's more about football [than a personal victory]"Said Payton, a member of the competition committee. "Honestly, when you sit on this committee, you really try to look more at the history of the sport. I just released copies of what was 6B, 6A, all those other [proposals] we do not use to watch someday and be like, ah, these are the ones who have not gone. I think it's more the fact that we have to assume our responsibilities, and that's really what I mean. It will not always be perfect, and we know it. The shape of the ball tells you that it will not bounce the same way. But it's mistakes that analysts are able to point out and say, "Hey, those are the most powerful mistakes." I think we understood well. "

The Saints coach spoke on Monday when it appeared that the owners might not do anything to expand the recovery. He warned that if the league did not change the rules to not be invited into the NFC championship game, "the owner then says that he is comfortable with what has happened . "

After many exchanges – Payton said that they had been "in the Grand Canyon" during their discussions – the coaches convinced the owners to pass a year-long trial expanding the possibilities revisable parts to include offensive and defensive interferences, called or not in the field.

"I think one of the challenges was the number of proposals we were discussing," said Payton. "If we discuss five different items in the menu, it's hard to focus. This one, pretty much after the morning meeting, we came back as a committee and really started to do our work. We did not like one as we loved each other. The coaches have met for a long time yesterday. I thought we had a good discussion. Really, basically after the meeting at lunch time, we thought that would be the case. We did not want the games to end with coaches posing challenges to Hail Marys and all the rest. We were respectful of the way we watch a game today. We had the capacity in the system [to fix it]. We know [coaches have] two challenges, and if you understand them correctly, you have a third, and you're two minutes north, and you have the impression that there was a fault, you can challenge it. South of two minutes, the official of the replay assumes this responsibility. I think this is a system we know and a system that fans know. Obviously, some calls are not counted, but at least we can start looking at that as we move forward. I think everyone was delighted to have a good answer. "
