The Running Game
 

So, we have AK, Murray, Ty Montgomery, and Washington running behind a bruising full back. These guys are going to do some damage behind this O-line built for running. Sean Payton looks committed to the running game. I believe we are going to produce two thousand yard backs next season. Murray is just waiting on Payton to take the leash off and let him run.

I’m sure Taysom Hill will get a few runs in there too Rugs!

As much as I’d like to see this, I have to respectfully disagree that this will be the case. Payton has wasted Murray’s talent so far, don’t see him changing now. Just doesn’t seem to be in his DNA. Would we like to see 2, 1,000 yard backs? YES....Will we get it? Highly doubtful. I think Payton has his “New” project in proving he can transform Winston into a success story. Fits his personality.

You know who our coach is right?!

Re: The Running Game
 

Very true. The inability to stick to the run has been our Achilles heel under Payton. I’m hoping we see a change in philosophy now that we don’t have Brees.

Re: The Running Game
 

Committing to the run has been a problem. However he always has featured RBs heavily in his offense going all the way back to Bush and Thomas and he frequently has has top 10 rushing teams.

SP will always be a pass first coach. It's been that way ever since he was OC up here with Parcells/Dallas.

Don't think he will ever commit to the run game. That's not who he is as a play caller.

Re: The Running Game
 

Sean can't rely on Winston like he could on Drew to carry the team on his back. Coach is hard headed but he isn't obtuse. He knows that we have a couple of the best backs out there and my guess is that he relies on them heavily. It's time for the run to set up the pass rather than pass to set up the run.

Two thousand yard rushers. Remember, you heard it here first. :p

Re: The Running Game
 

Well the Saints got 1000+ and 700+ from Ingram/Kamara in 2017, so it’s sure possible Rugs! Both backs cleared over 1500’total yards too. The best Saints have gotten out of Murray so far is about 900 total I believe. So, passing or rushing, it would be nice getting more Murray touches. Of course, Hill took some of those “backfield yards” away from them too.
