Dilla - a known jags Twitter insider dropped some nuggets on the last episode. Apparently the shouting match between Doug and Coughlin after the game was indeed about benching Foles over Minshew.

To paraphrase:

Tom said to Doug “I told you if Nick is healthy then he plays no matter what.”

And Doug responded by saying “for however long I’m here I’m just trying to win a game”

They then proceeded to drop f bombs to each other.

He also mentioned that Tom was the the one who was all in on drafting Fournette. Dave wanted to either trade back and take CMC or Mahomes.

Link below. Podcast is probably NSFW:

I remember feeling frustrated that we didn't trade back in the 2017 draft. I was all for trading down and selecting OT Ryan Ramcyk. He's been a consistent starter for the Saints ever since he was selected. Taking a RB in the top 10, even top 15 is stupid to begin with, but add to that fact that the O-Line was a mess and that made it doubly stupid. If true, Marrone was right to question Tom. If he wanted McCaffrey though, that was equally stupid. McCaffrey would have had the same results Fournette has shown. RB's are only as good as the O-Line. They need running lanes to be successful and we can't open any at a consistent level.
