More seriously, I always believed we should employ rushing to keep the defense "honest". And man, don't we have Über-weapon Sproles? I bet ya crappier teams like Chicago don't ignore Forte.

When PT and sproles get into a rhythm they are very difficult to stop, PT makes it look likes he's running into foam walls how he bounces off

I totally agree that the down and distance stopped us from running the ball, thats just our lack of discipline telling us how to run the game rather than us dictating the game

But when you have sproles, PT, and Ingram and you pass 3 straight times when the games close it's not good

Too true.

It's "funny". I was going mental, screaming what's wrong with the run when we went:
1-2-WAS 2 Brees pass incomplete
2-2-WAS 2 Brees pass incomplete
3-2-WAS 2 Brees pass incomplete

and then Brees throws a TD!

Go figure.
