re: Are we expecting too much when Payton gets back?

huh?

Look at all the missed tackles, blown blocking assignments, and Drew Brees trying incredibly too hard all the time.

bunch of bla bla bla here, jimmy had a wrist.

He actually had a higher reception rate per target this year. 14 less receptions and close to 350 less yards. Teams limited his downfield effectiveness.

ok so sproles' lack of rushing was our difference?

Teams weren't forced to treat him as the incredible threat he can be. He lost effectiveness as both a runner and a decoy.

I just think overall there was a lack of adaptability on the offensive side of the ball, and Drew having to force passes into tighter coverage this year was evidence of that.
