The Dude

Seems like we have all the pieces in place to take a whole new approach and philosophy to our offensive play. We have the backs and big receivers that can pound and grind out hard yards to wear defenses down. We can do it slowly and methodically with a heavy dose of running and short passes to Colston and Graham AND get the ball to speedy Cooks just to add more confusion and humiliation. The pieces are the coaches ready to accept that?
We have historically been a finesse team and many many times Brees has had to put a big load on his shoulders and carry the team with his arm. He doesn't need too anymore. First off he is getting older, throwing less and dinking and dunking will be easier on his arm and that oblique. Yea maybe we can win by throwing it but why when we don't have too. Use your weapons to your advantage. The point of the game is to win, not break records and pad stats.
He did do a decent job of balancing the run and pass today, so it seems like he's at least giving it a shot. Just don't abandon it if it starts to shudder.
Our run game is amazing this year and with all the negative so far that is one part of the game that is positive and it needs to be utilized.
