What we can do to better our Offense
 

First and foremost , NO I don't think Sean Payton and Drew Brees need any insight from a fan , but as a longtime football player and defender I do notice a few things that may help us clean a few things up ...


1. Tempo : Drew looked like Favre all game except for 2 Drives , both crucial plays and both were run giving the defense very little time to adjust. Graham was wide open thanks to an Audible , and the Bucs were lax and vanilla on the last Drive with Drew Delivering a Laser to Colston ... That came with no time outs in the hurry up ... As the season bares on I expect us to kick in high gear. We have weapons let's not give the defense all day to fully figure out how they're going to defend them !

2. Cut Blocking : As a NT , DE , 3 technique , Tilt , and in my collegic days OLB I dominated with physicality. Teams had no answer for my style of play , one year we ran into an unknown undersized team ... They averaged just above 6 feet on the line , sliced us up on the ground for 400 yards . Plain and simple if your o line can't sustain blocks due to size disadvantages and lack of talent a cut blocking scheme eliminates immediate pressure , and the offensive blockers always win their 1 on 1 at least long enough for the backs to be long gone. As the game wears on , defenders have to defend the low block , get up and chase the play down. By the 4th it's all but over ... Packer sweeps , 65 toss power trap , old school set the edge , clear the path , get a convoy and run like hell. It also leaves cutback lanes wide open... I'd like to see Sproles get a nasty cut back lane wide open ...

And block some more, its that simple.

How does one execute the cut block without running afoul of the modern blocking rules? It is not allowed in certain situations....

What can we do to better our offense?

I'll leave it in the hands of Payton/Brees, besides there is nothing that I could suggest that they don't already know and are probably already working on...

Our offense will be fine...
you forget there are teams like the Jets/Jags who can barely score field goals.
