Thomas Criticizes Carr, Saints After Loss: "We Just Didn't Execute"
New Orleans, LA - The New Orleans Saints suffered a disappointing loss on Sunday, and tight end Juwan Thomas didn't hold back when expressing his frustration. In a post-game interview, Thomas directly addressed the performance of quarterback Derek Carr, as well as the team's overall execution.
"We just didn't execute," said Thomas, his voice laced with disappointment. "We had opportunities, but we didn't capitalize. It starts with me, but I think Derek needs to be more decisive in the pocket. We need to be on the same page."
Thomas's comments come after the Saints fell to [Opponent Name] by a score of [Score]. The offense struggled throughout the game, with Carr completing only [Completion Percentage] of his passes for [Passing Yards] and [Touchdowns] while throwing [Interceptions].
While acknowledging his own role in the team's struggles, Thomas pointed to Carr's performance as a significant factor.
"I think we all need to look in the mirror," said Thomas. "But I saw some hesitation from Derek today. We need him to be confident and make plays. He's got the arm, he's got the talent, but we need to see more of it on the field."
The comments from Thomas highlight a growing concern within the Saints organization. The team is still searching for consistency on offense, and despite a strong defense, it hasn't been enough to secure victories.
With the season still young, there's time for the Saints to turn things around. However, the urgency is clear, and the pressure is mounting on both Carr and the team to improve their execution.
Coach Dennis Allen echoed Thomas's sentiments, stating that the team "needs to be better in all areas."
