Bush-22 carries and Duece-20. Compare that to last years numbers and you'll see where our success went. I have yet to understand how a back averages 4.2 and can't get his hands on the ball. So a couple got away from him last week...it happens. I keep hearing about "having to" abandon the run once we get behind 14, 21...what we have been looking at the last two weeks is panic football - going to a two minute offense with 2+ quarters to go. We don't have to get it back all at once. We can take our time, rest the defense, march methodically down the field and score. Lord knows our defense has needed the rest. We can continue our current path of teasing Duece with only 10 carries (and get what we've been getting), or load him up and let's ride. Brees poor play will drastically improve once Duece's success takes the pressure off of him. The offensive success will then take the pressure off of the defence, and everyone will relax and play the kind of ball the SaintNation has been looking for.
