"In the past, the Saints were generous with how they spread the ball out, but it appeared last year as if teams slowly started to figure out how to defend the multi-option attack…"

NFL Passing Records set by the Saints in 2011
Most passing yards – 5,347
Most passes completed - 472
Highest completion percentage – 71.3

Yep, the Saints passing attack had been figured out

"…and as a result Brees often became reliant last year on Jimmy Graham and Darren Sproles"

Colston – 80 catches for 1143 yards
Moore – 52 catches for 627 yards
Meachem - 40 catches for 620 yards
Thomas – 50 catches for 425 yards
Henderson – 32 catches for 503 yards
And 6 more receivers totaling 30+ catches and 150+ yards.

Obviously Brees was too dependent on Sproles and Graham.
