To my untrained eyes it feels like we abandon the run early in the game when the holes aren't there. That makes some sense to me and I understand why we keep going pass happy when we aren't moving the ball on the ground. This is why I'm pounding the table for a LG to replace Peat. Warford doesn't pass the eye test either and I think he could be replaced. We have to be able to open holes for the backs or give Drew some time in the pocket.

I'm pretty certain Andrus is gone. Someone else will over pay for his services.

I believe Andres thru in the towel he either wants out of New Orleans or he’s going thru some kind of mental thing or just wants to retire. Lead him to the exit gate
