Saints Find Cure For Losing - Running Game
Boy the Bolts really started respecting that play action passing game as it really opened things up again, even being down a few targets...
And that defense looked fresh at the end of the game... You'd think an OL Coach would love to just line up and smash people in the mouth especially with teams like the Eagles, Falcons X2, and the 49ers on the schedule... You've got Evans and Grubs with big money - Use Them! We better find our way to playing physical football or this love fest is gonna be gone faster than Reese's PB Pumpkins at Ole Lady Boudreaux's House on Halloween! |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Re: Saints Find Cure For Losing - Running Game
I'm not concerned with the YPC. You have to make them respect the fact you want to run the ball regardless if you're gaining big chunks of yards. You can't utilize play action passes effectively if teams don't actually believe you're going to run the ball. You also aren't going to wear their defense down unless you're hitting them consistently throughout the game. So while the YPC looked terrible, it opened up plays downfield for our receivers and wore their defensive line down.

I have no idea if the team we saw last night, the one that started feeling it like they used to will show up again. We can only hope, and see what happens after the bye. I hope we find a way to run the ball because we sure need to. |
Your team stinks

More than the yards was the attitude PT was running with. You could tell he WANTED that win bad...

Re: Saints Find Cure For Losing - Running Game
Something had been missing from the first 4 games and the 1st 3 quarters of last night's game.
"IT" showed up during the 4th quarter last night. (Still not sure what "IT" is though)... The team played with a bit more and aggression - they appeared to "WANT" the "W" instead of just playing out the remainder of the clock. |

Especially PT Season PT Stats 1st half - 17 att 56 yards 3.3 YPC 1 TD 2nd half - 20 att 126 yards 6.3 YPC 3 TD Most people are of the mind we abandon the run in the second half because we have been behind. We actually run and score better in the second half this season. |

Re: Saints Find Cure For Losing - Running Game
If you run the damn ball then they have to put eight in the box. When they do that Drew is going to carve them up.
