Despite common narrative, Saints do not necessarily build offensive line from inside out

And the running game was sixth due to the blowouts. We never ran more than passed with Drew on the field.

In weeks 3 and 4 Brees failed to throw a TD, so the running game and defense carried us both weeks.

We ran for 150+ yards in both those games and they weren't blowouts.

Yes those games but given the situations Brees couldn't throw the ball. The jets were one of the top secondaries in the league(I believe they were the top) and we were in Buffalo week 3 in rainy weather. But look at Detroit, Philadelphia, NYG, Miami, Atlanta, TB, NE, Washington, Atlanta Brees had 3+TDs in all those games but second Atlanta one where he had two. Carolina and St.Louis were considered one of the better secondaries where we had to rely on running games in those.
