With Sproles we would be 6-4 right now... he was worth at least two games. Awful move considering Brees has never been with out a scat back (Bush and Sproles).

6.2 yds per play. I'd say Brees is comfortable checking down.

How many of those are designed by our **** play calling?

Sproles turned the check down into first downs.

Play calling is no different than last year. Difference is getting pressure with 4 rushers and limiting Drew's options. Sproles wouldn't change that.

Now if you'd have said missing PT has cost us some versatility this year, I'd agree with that for sure.

I agree on the PT point, hope he is back this week.

I would like our play calling to be more in-line with the 2011 season, but it's just not. Better protection is definitely a need as Goodwin and Grubbs awful play makes Drew rush the pass, Evans is looking rather average as well.
