How will the Saints offense be run?

Will Brees be given 3 or 4 plays to pick from, depending on down and distance,

Or will be allowed to call his own plays, with the interim HC handling TOs, challenges, etc?

Would a complete season of running the offense be too much of a strain on Brees?

Or would he even WANT all of that responsibility?

Brees runs it as he has... a whole game of two minute offense.

I remember him doing pretty well with that Colts/Manning style offense they'd run at the end of the halves. Maybe they'll slow it down a little and expand on that.

It will be status quo, just as they have done over the past half a season. Pete Carmichael has been calling all of the plays since Payton suffered the broken leg. Everything remains the same.

Actually, I believe we'll see the running game play a bigger role this year with Payton out.

I can see why one would think this but I think we stick to doing what we do best..and that is to keep defense's guessing!!

It will be pass to set up the run as always but, I anticipate much higher yardage from our backs.

Nothing will change. Pete will call the plays.
