I don't know, but it could be possible that the lack of "explosive plays" is due to changing the running backs every other play. We've all seen it. Robinson will power through and get 10 or so yards, then Ingram comes in a couple plays later, and gets barely 1. Then when Ingram busts a big gain, 7 or 10 yards, you can see he's all pumped up, he's excited, and then the Saints run a bunch of guys in and out of the huddle...next thing you know the next running play goes to Khiry Robinson, and he gets tackled and stuffed behind the line. This happens A LOT. And of course a certain number of these touches also go to Spiller, who has done little if anything of note other than the one TD pass in OT.

I don't know if anyone else saw it, but the Falcons had assistant coaches on the sidelines watching the substitutions that the Saints offense sent in, then they would tell their certain package guys to run out on the field, based on who the Saints already had in the huddle. You could see groups of the Falcons players waiting around for the coaches' signals, they'd read the jersey numbers in the Saints huddle and THEN run their defensive guys out to the field. It was very obvious.
