Barry Hirstius: New Orleans Saints at Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 5 Bold Predictions

I don’t see us committing to the run with a weakened O-Line against a top run defense. If/when Mike Evans goes off against PJ Williams we’ll be looking at a shootout.

Actually run blocking is usually easier than pass blocking...

Why? First, it gives the offensive lineman the advantage of initiative rather than stepping back, ceding the LOS...

Second, it allows the offensive lineman to punish his opponent with more physicality than pass blocking...

Third, in zone blocking schemes, such that the Saints employ, traps can be set against better defensive linemen, using their quickness against them...

Then why don't teams just run all the time? Well, then you've got linebackers and safeties who will stack the box, that's why you pass to keep 'em honest...

Payton must commit, trust his run game more, he sets run up with pass, but with our roster, we're better built at this time to run, eat clock, rest the defense to make takeaways which is winning football...

And I'm with Major, we spent the money to get a bigger back than Ingram, why are we not using Murray then?!? or why is the Press not Pressing Payton for letting Ingram walk?
