Re: So will Payton finally start using the run game?
That play when he just slammed the Panthers defender to the ground with a stiff arm got me so loud that the neighbours complained.

In this game your right. Pass was used to set up the run more than the other way around I will be happy when the saints can pound the rock to set up play action passing attack. I saw a solid step forward to achieve that goal. The OL worked well together. still needs work but it was a huge improvement. Having Zach and Terron back will be huge |

In response to the thread title: no.
But imagine the possibilities. You could conceivably win any road game in any weather. Dream on, dream on~ |

I would love to see a drive with all of them in a 3 back set.

Re: So will Payton finally start using the run game?
From the player profiles that I remember we are actually a better run blocking team rather than a pass blocking team, which has been our staple over the years.

Re: So will Payton finally start using the run game?
I think the rushing stats for this game are a bit misleading.
Take out the 25 yard run at the very end of the game when the Panthers had packed it in, we had only 101 yards from our running backs with both Peterson and Ingram combined averaging less than 4 yards a carry. It was better, but not great. I still think we're struggling to run the ball. I think it has to do with tipping our hands with formations and personnel and just plain substandard run blocking. I'm not convinced we'll ever be a run/pass balanced offensive attack at any point this season. |
