Re: Saints seek balance with diverse, Adrian Peterson-led backfield
Not to get off track but good thing McMahon is gone because special teams was a BIG problem in 2016. Cost us at least 2, 3 WINS.
The O line is low on my list of concerns. |

Re: Saints seek balance with diverse, Adrian Peterson-led backfield
I see what Heath is saying and he is backing it up with stats, but we may have been more balanced simply because of the buttload of turnovers the D got us in our championship year. More likely to run the ball when you start out at the opponents 30 or 40 yard line!

Re: Saints seek balance with diverse, Adrian Peterson-led backfield
I'm not so sure about that. Recently Ingram has stated about the addition of Peterson that his main focus is winning it all. He said he'll accept his role as every other player. The team seems to be coming into this season with a positive, cooperative mindset.
