Same Saints, different season.

You have to win nationally televised games. Period. A concerted effort would have done wonders for cohesion.

I personally don't care who runs the ball as long as we don't do it predictably.

I'm worried about the lack of an O-line push in the run game.

Concerns in the run game is an issue, what really concerns
me is the Defense. I know it's early but it seems that I'm
looking in the mirror of last season.

I think our run game is going to be fine. I think if Payton will relegate himself to actually doing it we can be a fine running team, but he's going to have to control himself and be willing to grind out a few first downs sometimes to get it going. We've to the backs and the beef up front to move some bodies and run the ball. We have to commit to it.

I agree. If(if) Payton committs to the run game? Sometimes he can be his worst own enemy. I would like to throw out all the cuteness and run with Ingram and Robinson. I would have liked to see a sledge-hammer type of back drafted to close out late.

I just don't think SP can control himself after he has a few running plays stuffed. He knows he has Drew and he unwraps another Juicy Fruit and it's back to the pass. It's like trying to keep a Kid out of the cookie jar.

Your on to something here. I always thought that we were to predictable with if we were gonna run or pass in the past. in the past, if Ingram was in, they knew it was a run. Pierre was the one that made the other team wonder but if they thought pass it was usually right.

I think seeing how we have been using Ingram in preseason as a move to keep the opposing team guessing. It's not like CJ can't run the ball. being unpredictable this season with our running backs, as far as whether it's a pass or screen or run, is what's gonna help them succeed.

Playing catch up because that weak defense cant stop anyone is going to prevent us from running the ball.

spiller is a toy. SP has plans to use him all over the feild.

my concern is Ingram and can he stay healthy for the most part and prove last year was not a fluke.

Can Robinson step up and carry the load if needed? If not and Spiller has to carry the load then i worry about injury. Running between the tackles is Spiller's injury bug a boo

Khiry only if he leaves the pass catching to Spiller. Khiry didn't really help us out during Ingram's absence. I mean we beat two bad teams and one of them we had to come back against, the other our offense was sloppy. The other one, however, Khiry wasn't strong enough to keep us on the field.
