this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; We have some great running backs, and even with a lead in the 3rd quarter we continue to throw the ball with suspect pass protection...why haven't we started to pound the rock?...

Because our Running Game Coordinator hasn't had time to Running Game Coordinate since he has been too busy being Head Coach, Assistant Head Coach and Water Boy, and whoever else Goodell suspended that we couldn't hire new people for.

Re: Why aren't we running the ball?
We're averaging over 5 yards a carry on the year. Our line doesn't have any issue run blocking... we just have no identity and idea what we want to do from week to week.

Re: Why aren't we running the ball?
If we actually wanted to start running the ball we should've kept Bush and actually used him like he was supposed to be used.
We still could've signed Sproles to have 2 playmakers on the team. But we are mainly a passing team, and that's the offense we run. We have a cerebral QB in Drew Brees, and once he gets his **** together we will be successful. Today's game was a nice start for Brees, we ran more than usual today, and mostly only because we were up so much. And do you see what happens when we let up on the gas peddle? It bites us in the ass because we relied on a suspect defense to seal the game for us instead of putting it into Brees' hands like it's supposed to be. |

What is up with Mark Ingram? Is it just me or is he a bust?

Re: Why aren't we running the ball?
And then we go shotgun on our 9 yard line and give up a safety
