Yeah MG9. I think what we've seen as far as the long passing game goes is a combination of a lot of factors. For one thing I don't think Stills is the deep threat Henderson or even Morgan is/was. Defenses just aren't scared of him. I think we're also seeing how vital Jhari Evans is now that he's struggling with his back issues. It's no secret that the way to get Brees off his game is to pressure him up the middle. Till now though nobody has been able to do it. I think this will work itself out because we have a great interior line.

Let's face it, this is kind of a mini rebuilding year. We have new faces all over the roster. I think we'll get better as the season goes along and we start getting healthier. (And once Payton finally faces the fact that Mark Ingram just isn't who he thought he was.)
