Rhythm

I know we all speculate about our lack of rhythm on the field, Brees lack of rhythm with his receivers.

There is a remote possibility that Brees is not hurt, our issue is our schedule.

We opened up on a Thursday Night Game.
Had an 11 day break.
Had a Monday night Game.. AWAY
Had a 5 day break.
Had a Sunday night game
Normal break but injuries started.
Has a Sunday night game.
More injuries,
Had a Sunday night AWAY game.

How can you develop any sort of rhythm with all of that?

Run the two minute offense all the time. Make other teams march to our cadence. If for no other reason than to take control of what's happening and how the game is unfolding. Put the defense on their heels and unable to change cover packages. See if that allows us to get some push up front. See if they panic and leave someone uncovered. Only huddle when the chains move. Then turn it off and go back to huddling every play. The offense has got to get stirred up soon.

Agreed, run the two minute with a spread, put the back directly behind the qb and force the D to have to think fast.

More Rhythm, Less Blues ... at least for the Saints!
