First of all we are 4-0 and couldnt be in a better position in the division. Offense has found its stride as far as moving the ball and yes, the defense is the real deal. One or two games you can call a fluke or luck, but 4 straight great outings and its for real.
That being said, we need to do something about our offensive line, and quick. We are playing great right now, but if we cannot learn to consistantly run the ball in the first half it will catch up with us down the stretch. Although he wasn't hit as much, he still had some pressure and that can factor in the second half of the season.
It is a marathon not a sprint and there are some things we need to fix if we are going to be in it for the long haul. I don't know what the answer is but be it by trade or just signing some vet who didnt get picked up we have to beef it up.
Grubbs seems to have regressed from last year.
I dont want to see Brees on the ground as much as he has been. If he is, it is going to effect his timing and decision making.
We are a playoff team, but how far we go hinges on our Oline.

Charles Brown..... not sure about him. At least Brees was "only" sacked twice tonight.

Seriously? Drew was sacked twice against arguably the best front 7 we've faced so far.

O-Line and the offense as a whole are starting to get their rhythm...

Does anyone else think the offense has looked much better the last two weeks without Ingram?

Halo

I don't think it's Ingram as much as the OC and Sean Payton are changing our scheme. Our offense has looked a lot better the past 2 weeks, period. It's not Ingram per se.

The Dude

I think its a little of both. Collins got in a couple nice blocks and they were able to open a couple of holes there toward the end. I did see K-Rob plow over a couple of people twice. That is something we are missing when Ingram is in. I totally agree that the line looked improved this week, but its still a liability.

Yes, they are recognizing what works (5 wide w/ short passes) and what doesn't (running). We'd all love to see more production in the run game, but Drew's reads in the short passing game have been unbelievable.
A RB (Sproles) getting 100+ receiving is fine by me

The interior of our line hasn't looked good. Grubbs and DLP.

Grubbs got body slammed once, they were manhandled in the first half.

If we expect to make a DEEP playoff run this season,, there must be more balance on offense. Whether its Pierre, Robinson OR Ingram running the ball. We were smacked pretty good by the Fins D line first half.
