With Bush limited, backups Stecker, Thomas complement Brees, passing game

Maybe they should make Reggie lineup a bit deeper in the backfield. Unfortunately, that'll probably give the defense the clue that he's running. As, if Reggie were to be part of a passing play, they'd want him as close to the line of scrimmage as possible.

I think a lot of the blocking has to do with scheme and the fact that our offense has been insanely predictable all season long. If you look at the Carolina game, we were gashing them for some pretty big yards in the running game. We had quite a few 7 and 9-yard gains. We hardly ever got anything lower than 4-yards for most of the game. The only time our running game started to slow down was when it was the end of the game and they knew we were going to run the ball to attempt to run out the clock.

I think, if Sean Payton starts to put together gameplans that aren't as predictable and don't key-off the defense to what the offense is doing as soon as they line up, you'll see the blocking get much better.
