Is The Saints Offense Too Predictable?

Audiotom · 06-09-2014, 07:47 AM

the Saints were ruling the NFL in 2010,2011 with screen plays and options

other teams took notice and adjusted their formation to make sure the plays didn't develop

how many screen plays last year netted no yac? a lot

So another question to ask was "Have the Saints Lost Their Ability To Make Adjustments?!?"

It sure did seem we were slow to make adjustments at times...

Hindsight is easy, but it'd been nice had the Saints gone hurryup on offense against the Seahacks, not allowing Seattle to keep rotating fresh pass rushers...

The Saints had some success in hurryup, but I'm not sure how much of that was leading, late-game effort and how much was effectiveness...

That's why I'd like to see Saints limit opponents ability to rotate defenders earlier in games with the quicker pace...

I think a lot of this stems from all the new faces at WR and RB IMO. Moore Colston and Graham hurt or taking out of a game by the defense. Then PT banged up at times put the depth of this team at center stage. Stills can only do so much as a primary WR.

So I still believe Drew did not have faith in most of them last year to run a no huddle or a hurry up. He had was worried about the LT blowing his assignment and the RB picking up the defender i bet. much less the WR or TE being were they should be.

By seasons end Drew had to be hearing foot steps after the pounding he took.

this offense needs a lot reps this off season

Drew's always seemed great in the hurry up, but like Hagan's pointing out there were some trust and OL issues there.
