You've got it backwards neugey - Our run will set up the pass! Make defenses have to load the box to stop the 4-5 yard pops, then everything works. The pass rush has to pause on the play action...they are on their heals anyway if we are running effectively...Brees can plant his feet and throw...wide outs will get more man coverage. With Duece and Karney the blocks don't even have to be good blocks - just stand the defender up - arm tackles won't work. Cadillac had 24 carries for 61 yards yesterday. If Duece got 24 carries he would have had 117(4.9 per). I will keep saying/writing it until Sean proves to me that it won't work. The NUMBERS have shown ....................and will show.............that it works!

This is so true, but until Peyton and Co realize Bush is not the featured back than this will NOT happen

Doesn't matter if we score 40 points a game... if our opponets are allowed to score 41... we lose. Its basic math. Our D can't stop my grandmother. That puts to much pressure on our O and we can't do the things we need to do on O if our D is so horrific.

I laugh when I see the stats that say when so-and-so gets over 100 yards/30 carries, Team X wins every time. Anyone stop to think the team was running to protect a lead? Running doesn't cause winning, winning causes running. Sure it's great if you can come out and pound the ball on the ground, but in the NFL that's pretty hard to do. Sometimes you have to pass to set up the run. That's why coaches have game plans instead of just saying, "today we will run the ball and stop the run."

Re: It's Very Simple...Deuce
 

yeah stopping the run and running the ball do seem like good places to start. that is how most teams win. kinda like indy in the playoffs last year. maybe i am wrong. no no that is a good place to start for any team. those two things seem to be gained by your offensive and defensive lines dominating the game. yes that is where games are won and loss, the trenches.

our problems seem to be poor o-line play, rec. not open or not catching the ball, fumbles, oh and that thing- the long ball which we can not stop. right now we stink. i for one am upset at this team. i am so tired of them saying we will get this fixed. well then get it fixed already cause watching you is making me frikan sick

they are laying down out there and it is drivign me crazy. if your goign to lose play hard please. i can except that. come out like this each week makes me sick

Dude I think you are the smartest man to be on this forum today aside from myself of course. I have been preaching forever now... you can't run the ball if you are getting your butt handed to you.

Re: It's Very Simple...Deuce
 

Like I said yesterday......you pass to get the lead, you run to keep it.

This works if you have a defense.

Re: It's Very Simple...Deuce
 

You Pass to Score...You run to Win ;)

Re: It's Very Simple...Deuce
 

if they would run deuce more than they run reggie than we would win more..... because reggie almost as many yards,as he gains and he has a big problem holdin on to the ball......... and duece never fumbles....... but everyone including the coaches are stuck so far up reggies but thats all they want is reggie........ but if you really look at it in the games were duece get a fair share of touches thats the games that the saints when...... because the d-fence can stop reggie and cover wide outs...... but if you give them a steady dose of #26 then thorw it to the wide outs or to reggie.... then you will get some where..... the saint have got to pound it and pound then to do the big plays.......

Re: It's Very Simple...Deuce
 

I guess only a few of us understand the fact that if your defense CAN NOT STOP THE OTHER TEAM FROM SCORING...........running the ball does not help you win. It runs time off the clock.
