Mr. Vitt is doing his best sad faced clown impression. It’s pretty good too.

Yes Joe. If you want to stand a chance at beating the Falcons you are going to have to learn to run the ball.

Joe Vitt are right the running game should have been on the field, yes Chris Ivory should have been in the games from the start of regular season. Well it’s to late the offensive coaches got away from Sean Payton offensive game plans make you wonder, this show us that head coach Sean Payton is the mastermind of the team. When he left on vacation he the plans with the coaches they didn’t follow-up on the plans, I believe the running game would have kept them close in the running. The defense was not that good last year the offensive side back off of what took them to the playoff last year, when Sean Payton get back he will tell the coaches and players about their mistakes. And get them ready for 2013 season he had enough time to study every team and build the Saints to be better on offense and defense.

That’s because Brees cares about his stats – despite having one of the best OLs in the league, the Saints are in the bottom of the league in rushing attempts in the redzone.

Brees has no desire to commit to the run to wear down an opponent or allow his running game to get into a rhythm – he’s too busy making sure his TD streak continues even in losses

Think about it the Saints have a top 3 guard in Jahri Evans, an All Pro Ben Grubbs, a Pro Bowl in Bushrod and a deep stable of RBs. There’s no reason the Saints rushing attack shouldn’t be better – Brees needs Payton
_____
This makes perfect sense!
Being that Brees is the offensive coordinator and all.
If you’re so dimwitted to actually believe the drivel that is coming off of your keyboard there is no hope for you son.
Brees is a hall of fame quarterback and without him the Saints would be winless.

Bull. Kromer is the running backs coach. He saw them in practice & knew what they could do. Blame the bad start on the horrible defense. I can catch passes. On them.

Nope, he’s the offensive line coach.

The Saints overutilized Mark Ingram by using a draft pick on him.

The defense has been terrible, they are just starting to pick up the new scheme. There is NO excuse for not running Ivory.

However, I will say that Philly’s D stinks! That game vs. them is supposed to be the sign of hope for Mark Ingram?

Ingram is the reason why the tailbacks looked undeserving of utilization!

Teams, the next time you see a player fall ask why after doing thorough research on him! He fell because he was a flawed player despite looking great in games when watching him at home!

The reason that everyone gave for Ingram’s fall: this is a passing league. Am I that dumb? Is that an acceptable answer in a high school classroom?

Please find a way to make him look attractive for trade this offseason because he’s doesn’t even look worthy for a 7th rd pick in 2019!

I believe it would be more of a criticism of offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael than Aaron Kromer, who was really just a seat warmer.

daknight93 — Sun, 11 Nov 2012 00:57:58 +0000

Joe Vitt is absolutely right…Saints were ranked 6th in rushing last year and now ranked at bottom of league due to not involving the run game to create balance…Saints made themselves one dimensional depending on Brees arm…I’m happy Vitt recognizes this cause Saints fans have been screaming for the backs to be involved in the game plan heavily.

Their DE’s, DT’s, LB’s and DB’s have been even more underutilized.
