What changes would you make?

All this talk about the offense being stale....

Rushing attempts per game 17th
Rushing YPG 9th
YPC 4.7 4th

Yards passing per game 297 3rd
Completion percentage 69.33 1st
Sacks per game 1.6 8th

Total offense
yards per play 6.1 tied for 3rd
third down percentage 48.78 2nd (by .02% to Dallas' 48.8)
first downs per game 25.2 1st
yards per game 421 3rd
red zone TDs per game 2.4 3rd

Offense is fine, give them a short field now and then and see what they can do.

They've also turned it over a lot, giving the opposing team a short field

Saints opponents have the worst starting field position in the entire league.

Yeah, I was surprised by that stat too.
