I don't know what happened to Grubbs and Evans. Last year they were both solid and now they are struggling to be average at best. I understand getting older, but that's a very sudden drop off. Conditioning maybe?

Haha exactly!

As much as I love sproles he can be an offense killer....the fact that he had one great year with us then he wasn't much help...look at McCoy in Philly, that team is looking for the big play so much with sproles that they're taking reps and plays from arguably one of the top 3 running backs coming into this season

I blame that more on Mccoy and the lack of blocking, mind you defenses have adapted to the Kelly offense. Could have seen the 2nd year decline for Kelly coming a mile away.

Play-calling is stale...it no longer has that "innovative & explosive" stigma to it anymore.

The O-line doesn't help, especially at Center, as that 0.5 extra second matters with down-the-field passing with inside pass rush. Our 2 best games with pass protection against GB & Car had Lelito parked at Center...how bizarre?

Still saying Carmichael should have been given play-calling duties before the season started.

Yeah, I just don't understand the Goodwin/Lelito thing. I know the coaches know more than all of us put together, but thats a headscratcher to me. When Lelito is in we look good, when Goodwin starts, not so much.

I have no issur with moving Sproles on. Far too often last year he was being hit as he received the ball. He was getting beat up and as soon as he was on the field teams knew it was a passing first. The issue has been PT not being fit and Stills missing early parts of the season. Stills and Thomas on the field will make a difference as Stills speed needs respected and Thomas will get the yards needed on check downs.

I think the teams needs new ideas and new blood we have also been unlucky as the offense has hardly had a game fully fit. Goodwin, Thomas, Robinson and Stills all been out. Streif hurt and now Cooks to IR and some talk Robinson could be out all season.

I was behind Goodwin coming back after not getting a C in the draft but we need to stop changing eho plays and just give Lelito the job and see if he can handle it for next year.

We should have gone with the top center last year......maybe the top two centers.lol

Re: After Further Review: Why the Saints' high-octane offense is suddenly stalled
 

I miss the days when our offense was feared. Now it just seems like we are good, but not explosive.

Maybe Joe Morgan and PT will infuse a little excitement.

That said I still hope we run Ingram like we have been. He's been good.

Re: After Further Review: Why the Saints' high-octane offense is suddenly stalled
 

Morgan offers nothing imo

He has been on the team a few years and has as many injuries and suspensions as TDs. 11 career recptions tells its own story
