Darren Rizzi is changing the Saints locker room layout
Darren Rizzi's first public move as New Orleans Saints interim head coach is to change the setup of the locker room back to how things used to be. Instead of being grouped by positions, players were just randomly placed at lockers throughout the locker room. You could have an offensive lineman next to a safety and wide receiver.
This began in 2020 due to the league's COVID protocol. The thought process behind the alteration was logical. They didn't want one player to pass it to the entire position group. Dennis Allen kept this going when he became head coach.
As time passed, this became the standard locker room layout and just never changed back until this week. The Saints locker room is once again sectioned by position groups in hopes of building more togetherness. We'll see if it makes a difference.
