I think we showed improvement in the running game on Sunday. We ran well enough in the first half when the game was close. There were some big stuffs for negative yardage and I think we ran into run blitzes a few times so the overall yardage looks worse than it really was.

IMO I think we run better when we are on grass. The game is not so fast and it might be easier for our line to run-block. When we are at home or at an indoor venue it becomes more of a speed game. That's why we saw PT and Collins get the ball more in Chicago, and why we kept feeding Sproles vs the Dolphins. Good game-planning by Coach P.

Before the end of the year I want to see Robinson running all over the competition.

I'm still waiting for Payton to start the game pushing and controlling the line of scrimmage.
It is so much easier to pass block after you get defenders on their heels.
Running the ball has been an after thought during the Payton/Brees era.
When our passing sets up the run, it's difficult to flip that switch on 3rd-and-1.
Especially the way we try to force our will with 2 tight-ends and Jed Collins...
That's just wayyyyyyyyy too much beef in the box for anybody to find a gap for 1 yard.
I would spread the field and run with only 5 defenders in the box.
The O-line wouldn't even need to blow people away, just stand them up.
Five weeks in, I'm still OK with it.
There will be a day that the play action will need to work...actually freeze LBs.
That only happens and is effective when we can run the ball.
Screens will work better when we run the ball.
The pocket and the passing lanes will be cleaner when we can run the ball.
I'm hoping sooner rather than later, we get to +100 with +400 totals.

It would be nice to be able to run it in from the 5.

Or run it on 3rd and 1.
