Running attack vs. Seahawks defense. Thoughts?

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; It doesn't have to be a lot, just enough to fully unpack the offense and open up the playbook. I remember we beat the Steelers in '10 with something like 29 yards total rushing; it wasn't about smashing them up ...

It doesn't have to be a lot, just enough to fully unpack the offense and open up the playbook. I remember we beat the Steelers in '10 with something like 29 yards total rushing; it wasn't about smashing them up the gut, it was about moving certain pieces around on the chess board, using the run and the short pass to move players around and open up other things for Drew to exploit. And that Steeler defense that year was MUCH better than this Seahawks defense this year.

Re: Running attack vs. Seahawks defense. Thoughts?

I'm saying it just misses 100 rushing. The Seahawks with their CB woes will play nickel and have more CBs on the field. Put a 3 receiver look with Jimmy and run draws and screens. This will get lineman and TEs on the CBs and take a little pep out of their step and bring the safety's up which I think could open some deep balls. Also, Sherman is outstanding but he really pushes for the big plays and with productive runs and screens he might eyeball the backfield just long enough to gets Stills behind him.

I said at the beginning of the season that if we could keep PT in the backfield for a large majority of the snaps that it would help our running game a lot. It leaves the other teams guessing what we are going to do. I think we have sort of seen that with Sproles being out.

Re: Running attack vs. Seahawks defense. Thoughts?

Our run game suffers because it is so predictable. I don't need to tell you guys what that means.

They've been studying the SAME Saints run-game film and they know the patterns. If we stick to them, Drew will have a long day because his adjustments at the snap will be limited. (Crowd noise)

We will need TWO key takeaways to win this game and our D needs to stay off the field.

The fan-impact-plays for the Seahawks will get the best of us if we don't change the way we have been doing business.

SHOCK and AWE
