Offense getting it together
 
They had a shakey start, but it seems like they took a step towards being the offense we all know and love today. Our line is horrid and beat up, and we still managed to put points and yards on the board. They improved as the game went on. When Evans gets back we will only get better. Still need some work in red zone but the last two visits down there resulted in scores so that is good. Graham is an absolute beast and needs to be signed now, before the offseason. Sproles looks awesome as well. Im proud of how our offense improved. I was worried at the beginning of season. With this defense and our regular offense we will be unstoppable. As long as we continue to improve.

If our Offense can continue like that we will be hard to beat

Our D is playing great anyway, but with the lead thats when all the turnovers start

So apparently Mark Ingram wants a trade, that right there gives us a better offense. Khiry ran like a demonic monster truck. Sproles and Jimmy were great. As usual (lately) the D came too play. They smacked the Cards in the mouth and they had no answer.

If we trade Ingram I want an o-lineman. We're too vulnerable on the line. Luckily we get Evans back, but if there's an injury to an already if-y line, Drew will be sunk!

I totally agree. Totally . I menat to post the same thing in that other thread. Also notice how when Robinson started running it opened up the run game for the other backs. That is what Ingram was supposed to do. Get yards when there arent any and plow his way through the line. K-Rob being in there totally changed the pace of our run D. And they knew the run was coming without a doubt. So much for the arguement that Ingram cant run because they know when he is in there it is going to be a run.:messedup:

Still think our o-line is weaker than its been in a long time. We need to beef it up, hopefully through a trade. Just sayin.

That's because Jahari was playing hurt and now we have a sub in. The offensive line is sensitive to injury and changes because it requires so much synergy to work well. Hopefully Jahari will be back to 100% soon. He can't be THAT hurt, he was dressed out on the side lines.

Agreed!! Brees is taking shots and had to run and scramble a little to much.

They were playing poorly before Evans was out of the game and I expect a less that 100% Evans is better than his backup.

The O line made a few holes today......that's a nice change.

I "suspect" you don't realize that Evans did not play at all. We're you watching NFL Rewind?

Um I was talking about before yesterdays game. He hasnt been playing 100% all year. Do you know how to read? My point being, the O line was playing poorly before Evans sat out. And when he was in playing injured I expect he was better than his sub.

No, I do not know how to read so I am not going to answer that question. ;)

Lelito got beat more than I'd like to see from a guy his size. Sean and Mickey are aware of what needs to be done and when it needs to be done so we'll be ok.

Brees is always under pressure and having to take off running is not a good sign.

Re: Offense getting it together
 
In all fairness, the Cards have one of the best run defenses, well had until they lost 2 players yesterday to injuries. What I was happy to see was the adjustment Payton made when he saw we couldn't run and started using short passes to wear out the cards defense which was clearly worn down in the 4th qtr. Combine the worn down defense with K-Rob aggressive running style and we ran the ball OK to close out the game.

Mardigras9 09-23-2013 02:27 PM

Re: Offense getting it together
 
The inability to run is still a huge concern. I think Brees was the leading rusher until the Cards D was just out of gas in the end.
