I OL actually excels in run blocking...I think we are built to be a run first team but CSP insists on being a pass first team in order to setup the run. I wish we'd get to be more balanced instead of having Drew chunk it around 57 times a game.

"not built to be a running team" means
"team was built by Sean Payton" which means
"Sean Payton was a QB, a QB coach, an offensive passing guru, and he is historically known to prefer passing over running" which eventually equals
"Saints weren't built to be a running team"
If an architect designs and builds a concrete park for senior citizens in wheelchairs to relax in, and then a bunch of kids discover that it's also good for skateboarding and doing tricks, that doesn't mean the park was built to be a skate park....

i wouldnt necessaryily say we were built to be run first. Its probably more accurate to say that putting a premium on big guards and fast tackles to protect Brees in the pocket has resulted in a line that turns out to be quite good at the run game.
Anyone who says we dont run becuase we arent built for it is a full of shite Payton apologist. The numbers this year prove we can do it when we want - even better than in 2009.
