Re: No Running Game

Before the season ends we will have to get the run game going, a rainy day or a blizzard shuts down a lot of the air attack, and if we get to the big game guess where it is?

Re: No Running Game

I don't care how we do it as long as we win. Running? Passing? Swimming? Flying? Don't care as long as we win. We're 5-0!

Re: No Running Game

rush defense rankings after 4 weeks. not like we have faced a bunch of bums

Carolina
Green Bay
Denver
Arizona
Dallas
NY Jets
Atlanta
Tampa Bay
Miami
Cincinnati
Tennessee
Minnesota
New England
Chicago
Baltimore
Indianapolis
Seattle
San Francisco
Detroit
Oakland
New Orleans

even with this in mind the saints need to improve the running game.

we did nothing in the off season to address the OL even after how bad we were last year. face it teams have enough tape on us to exploit our OL.

next year we better address this area of need because Drew is taking a beating even in the passing game

Such a key point. Honouring the run game can be as important as being marginally effective in it. I do keep checking the amount of times we run versus pass attempts. Today was a good example of that being a positive. Definitely think we need more balance in conditions like that today but you are 100% right. As long as we honour it, we're good.

Re: No Running Game

running game will improve the healthier our oline gets, I think, but that said we throw a lot of short passes and we are kind of running through our pass

Re: No Running Game

okay, Atl & TB are better than their records
Ariz has rebounded to win 2 in a row
Mia & Chi were both unbeaten when we played them

my cleverly-disguised point is this:
without a strong 'traditional' running game, we have already beaten some good teams

Re: No Running Game

A good bit of the recent Super Bowl winners weren't effective running the ball. They ran to keep the defense honest. That's all we need to do. Top 5 running backs in the league. Adrian Peterson, Lesean McCoy, Arian Foster, Jamal Charles, Alfred Morris...how are most of those teams doing? We can keep going. Chris Johnson. CJ Spiller. Matt Forte. The running game of the Beara couldn't save them today. The lack of a run game only matters when you're losing.

Re: No Running Game

You may be able to take being called a "buzz kill" very well.

Ever thought how much people enjoying them selves don't appreciate the "buzz killer"? Buzz Kill is not the title I would give you.

You and the rest like you should probably take your "honest revelations" to the front office and lay it out there for them.

We sort of enjoy... enjoying being 5-0.
