Don't lump me in with that racist POS, thats totally uncalled for, not to mention about as off base as you can get. I may be a lot of things but I'm not a goddam racist.

It was sarcasm. But okay. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Thanks Adolph.

I think we drafted Terron Armstead as a perfecr piece for Zone Blocking. Also high hopes that Jason Smith's career could be rejuvanted in New Orleans, which it was not. I think that if we still had Carl Nicks, Terron was healthy and a couple other pieces it would work but not now

Saying we don't have an NFL starter is ridiculous. Grubbs is a multiple-time Pro Bowler, Strief is considered by most of the scouting/grading servcies as a top right tackle and the same for DLP at center. There is nothing wrong with this starting 5.

The real problem is, we pass the ball way too much. You're not going to be effective at run blocking unless you're actually doing it on a regular basis, and not running the ball means the other guys can line up and rush your face off because they know you're passing. Even if it's not effective, we need to run the ball a lot more than 13 times a game. Payton's playcalling this year reminds me of 2007 and 2008 and everybody was getting fed up with him then.

OK guys calm down. We all have opinions and they all differ. We are all upset about the turn that our team has taken and are lashing out.
But remember, we are a family here.......a Saints family, but a family none the less.

I secretly thought that they were gonna fix it over the bye, after the slightly stronger showing of the run game in New England. If they were gonna tear up the playbook and make the big switch, that would have been the time to do it.

I'm not so sure they can just flip a switch and go back to their old scheme in a single week, anyway. That's gonna be extremely messy, and for a team that's already way sloppier than normal, look out....

I will say this, I hardly ever criticize Payton, but this switch to zone blocking is the one solitary idea of his that I have really *not* bought into, ever since he first brought it up. From the very beginning, it felt to me like tinkering, change for the sake of change, or fixing what wasn't really broke in the first place. Unless there was something to it that I couldn't see, I never understood the reasoning for making the switch. Maybe he was watching a lot of the Texans during his year off, or all those practices we had with them, or something.

Thanks Xan, that will be an option on all Polls from now on.

I would like to see it change... think we all would

I wouldn't mind option 3 however... sounds exciting
