I recall Tampa's run game being significantly better than ours

Maybe I'm wrong. Not much to glean from this but I'm sure teams weren't afraid to stack the box against Glennon.

Tampa's attempts/avg
2011 - 346/4.2
2012 - 416/4.4
2013 - 420/3.8

Saints:
2011 - 431/4.9
2012 - 370/4.3
2013 - 391/3.8

Now I'm convinced we're going power run game.

I'm convinced the goal is to make other teams respect the Saints run game. It'll open up the play action. Something the Saints were uncharacteristically bad at last season.

Agreed. The images of Ingram being swarmed around the line of scrimmage last year must have kept Sean up at night.

Great signing. Now we need a good DE, DT, OL, WR in the draft

Gotta say I'm really excited about our potential and what seems to be a real effort to solidify our running game. As we all know, if teams have to fear the Saints run game, much at all, we're libel to set more records offensively because the play-action will be next to impossible to stop.

And with our defense...

Whew! We could be in for some really fun-to-watch games this year!

I think our D line is set. I think our needs are more like WR OL LB CB.

Our needs in the draft never change:

BPA BPA BPA BPA... :)

Our biggest hole is still the #2 CB. White proved he is talented but still doesn't know how to play the ball when it's in the air. Verdict on White is he should be the NB. PRob has never played great and is coming off of a serious injury. I hope we draft one of the monster CBs to play physical D; there are a few 6'3+ CBs that should be available for us in the second round.

Intriguing signing. Hope he is as versatile as Thomas was for us.
