Re: Please Mr. Payton...
I say NEVER put 8 in the box. It just limits our options. Stretch teams thin.
Much easier for Ingram and/or AK to stick their head in a gap an get 2 for a 1st down. Short yardage situations we should let Brees decide how he wants to handle it. Spread the field and let Drew pick the poison. Also easier to catch somebody sleeping, or cheating or over matched. I just hope Mr. Payton stays with the running game and not fall back into pass happy old habits. |

As a result the scenario should offer the best situation in order to maximize yardage over just picking up the first down.
If you run the ball on 2nd and short.. convert the first down, then you'd have to pick up enough yards again on first down to put yourself in an equally favorable position. |
