That's how they are built. Their offensive line is built for pass protection first. That's the top priority. And it makes sense. All you have to do is look around the NFL and see how many quarterbacks are injured to realize how fortunate the Saints are to have a healthy Brees around game in and game out.

The other reason is the Saints don't practice run blocking and runing nearly as much as they work on passing. So, it's understanable that they aren't going to be as efficient in the run game.

The buzzword for the Saints is to be "efficient" in the running game. They need to be able to get the third-and-1s and to be able to run the ball effectively at the end of games to finish them. I think that's their goal.So far, there is plenty of room for improvement in that area. I certainly don't think it's an issue with the backs. They have plenty of talent there.

I also think Goodwin was a much better Center than a lot of people gave him credit for.
