What happens if they stack the box on us every play? Two yards and a cloud of dust will result in quick three and outs placing our defense out there with little rest.

Run to set up the pass? I've read about that somewhere.

Or do what Payton has always done, pass to set up the run. But, to be honest, the short pass is essentially a run anyway. A sizable percentage of the Saints passes are behind the line and are basically forward "lateral" running play.

All that said, if we run the ball 70 times and win I'll be happy. If we pass the ball 70 times and win I'll be just as happy ... or any split in between as long as we win.

Just saw that Michael Thomas was back at practice today. Waiting for the official report soon.
