Rugby Saint II

Duh!
Sean Payton always schemes the players to their strengths and we need to decide who is the QB early on so Payton can go full blown mad scientist. The title was misleading and reads that the offense will be built a "little bit" around the QB. I'm calling BS. Payton builds his game around the QB and his strengths and the running game has always been an after thought. I've seen him lean heavier on the run game when Drew's arm started to decline. Drafting Kamara didn't hurt either. I've said repeatedly that we will be run heavy this year. Run to set up the pass. Maybe even a little play action.

I honestly thought we had cut Murray and was so glad that I was wrong. Latavius isn't cheap but he's a great 3rd down back who can rip off some long runs. I also kept hearing that Latavius Murray was the logical choice to cut in order for us to get under the cap. Payton keeping him tells me that Payton now sees the kind of damage Murray can do.

I think that pounding the ball will keep the line backers and safeties closer to the line of scrimmage. Let defenses crowd the line for the run and throw short to medium passes then we can throw the deep bomb a couple of times a game. They will have to play us totally differently and I'm sure that Payton is drawing up plays on napkins a lot these days. Heck, he can finally make use of his entire play book again.
