Minnesota's D was setting the edge, daring us to run inside. With the level of our guard play, this likely wasn't a viable option. I do believe that better play action may have slowed the pass rush some.![]()
Payton better figure it out quick, because opposing D's will look to this and the first ATL game for recipes of shutting down the Saints. |

We need to have the media go interview the WholeFoods Meat Guy SP talked to. I think his insightful opinion would be very entertaining.

Re: Payton's Play Calling
Not sure why he was so focused on running Kamara between the tackles. It's like this year he wanted Kamara to be himself and Ingram.

Ginn is still living on his name as a speedster and Brees does not have the arm. That's why Taysom was paired with Harris on that bomb. |

Re: Payton's Play Calling
Brees is as good or as bad as the O line. He's a short, non-mobile, 40+ year old QB. He needs a great O line to give him time and, most important, provide throwing lanes. He didn't have either against the Vikings.

Re: Payton's Play Calling
We definitely need a coach that will use the likes of Jared Cook and Latavius Murray.

Not saying our O line played well, but dang, some of you will blame anyone and anything before looking at Drew. I am thankful for Drew, but I am a saints fan first, and right now I am eager to see what Payton can do with a different QB. Last time he had a different QB we went 5-0 and the games weren’t close. |
The Saints are 0-42 when running the ball less than 15 times in a game.
