Saints owner Gayle Benson didn\u2019t pull any punches in her assessment of the team\u2019s start to the season in a speech<\/a> on Tuesday. <\/p>\n

Benson said that the team\u2019s fans are right to be upset about their play during a 1-4 start and that she \u201cwill not accept this level of performance as our standard.\u201d Benson also said she is \u201ccommitted to making the decisions necessary to improving this team\u201d and it was hard not to read those comments as a mandate for those currently in charge of the team to show that improvement or find new places to work. <\/p>\n

That group includes head coach Kellen Moore and his Wednesday press conference opened with several questions about Benson\u2019s speech. Moore said he did not feel an increased sense of urgency because he already understood that \u201cwe all want better results\u201d and that everyone in the organization is doing all they can to create them. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s where we\u2019re at<\/a>. We\u2019re 1-4, missed a few opportunities right there,\u201d Moore said. \u201cWe all want the same thing. We\u2019re all shooting for that. We\u2019ve all got the same objectives and we just gotta get better moving forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wanting the same things that Benson is talking about and achieving them are different things, which makes it all the more incumbent on Moore and the rest of the staff showing that they can do the latter before ownership decides that someone else will have a better chance of succeeding. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Saints owner Gayle Benson didn\u2019t pull any punches in her assessment of the team\u2019s start to the season…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":928372,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[559],"tags":[64,63,593,85],"class_list":["post-928371","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/928371","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=928371"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/928371\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/928372"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=928371"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=928371"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=928371"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
