Y not run the fricking ball
Our offensive line is worse at run blocking than they are at pass blocking....which is a scary thought.
Our receivers are great because of Brees. Without Brees, they are average at best. Graham is the only one with star talent.
Fun drinking game: Every time a Saints Wide receiver catches a pass, and immediately (intentionally) falls to the turf or steps out of bounds, take a shot. You'll be drunk by the middle of the first drive, unless of course Brees throws an INT on the first pass.
I keed I keed
But seriously, our receivers aren't very physical and can't create consistent separation. Pair that with an O-Line that can't block, and you get games like yesterday and the one against Seattle.
ETA: Saints leading receivers as it pertains to receptions
1) Jimmy Graham (76)
2) Pierre Thomas (71)
3) Darren Sproles (66)
4) Marques Colston (64)
5) Lance Moore (30)
Your top 3 receivers are a tight end and two running backs. We always talk about how it would be stupid to draft more offensive weapons, but I'd be inclined to say we are in need of a #1, tough, physical receiver that can create separation on his own without having to be "thrown open".

Other thing I noticed yesterday was that on one of the red zone drives in the 4th, Brees appeared to zero in on Colston in the corner of the end zone looking for a jump ball type pass. Colston made no effort to jump. Wonder if his foot is still bothering him, or if that was a sign of the overall malaise that seems to have gripped the o yesterday.

I'm all for sending Mark Ingram and a draft pick and/or any other player to Cleveland for the rights to Josh Gordon! Geezus I would love to see him in our offense!!
