The run blocking actually is impressing me the most. We are so much better at running the football from under center now. It is tough to defend.

The ability to run outside is so important - if you can't do it then defense can simply load up the box and stop your run.
I haven't been this happy with the Saints coaching in a long time. Probably ever. With Thomas and the running game we are high percentage chain-movers now. Even the flea flicker was like a 20 yard completion. Gone are the days of deep chucks to Cooks or Jimmy Graham or the chronic screen plays. I watched Green Bay last night and they are kind of falling into the trap we used to - trying too hard to exploit the defense and create big plays instead of moving the chains. We got smart.
