It's isn't the sack total, but the pressure totals that matter. The Saints throw a ton of short passes to combat the lack of protection. And Drew generally has one of the quicker releases, although he has held it a bit longer of late for some reason.

I must agree with the OP. Saints fans are FOS

Come up with a legitimate argument to defend the offensive line and prove us wrong. Otherwise, you're a hypocrite by making that statement.

The line is a big part of the reason you see 20-30 screen passes a game because Drew has no time to look down field for somebody Drew is forced to dump it off to the safety valve time and time again.when is the last time we had a 1000 rusher its been a decade this will be 10 years. I get we are a passing team and the league is a passing league but 10 years without a rb without a 1000 yrd rusher. When you average 2.5 or 3 yrd a carry that is telling about a line.

Where does this falicy that the Saints avg 3 ypc come from. Ingram 4.6/4.6/4.9ypc last three years. The worst the have averaged in the past 6 years is 3.6 and 3.8 other than that its been over 4 per carry

We haven't had a 1000yarder as pre Ingram it was a 3 headed committee and since Ingram took over he hasn't because he cant play a full season

Does it need to get better?
Yes

But some people are making our line out to be Jacksonville or Clevelands

Oh go post that to Halo, he was talking about the poor decisions by Loom and SP. I agreed with him, so go ahead and go post to him if you disagree

lee909

Whats blind faith?
I didnt say the line was great as it needs two guards but your saying they run for 2/3 yards per carry when they dont

saintshrimp

You wanna argue over 3-6 ft OK that's fine but the fact of the matter still stands the line play is bad and has been just about everyone knows it just wanna deny it but when your watching the game in your home or favorite watering hole your sayin omg wtf was that

Halo

Not pointed at anyone on this thread, just hoping people read this after noticing a bad trend this offseason and before season begins.


Look, I have something to say to everyone on this forum.
Saints fans defend their team, even in the bad times. When the season begins, all cards are off the table - poopy preseason are not.

To all those calling out Saints fans for trying to be positive, get over yourself.
Saints fans are Saints fans.

If you're being negative in the hopes of returning to say "I told you so," you need to still get over yourself. Guys like you never return to take their lumps.

If you're arguing to make a point, no problemo.
If you're arguing to start a fight, again get over yourself.

People have no idea what this team will do - that's coming from someone concerned about a lot of things with this team, but I hope they come together and perform their very best.

But please don't come bash fans for being fans, especially days before the season begins.
