Predictability part of the running game problem?

I say "part" of the problem because the blocking is horrid at times, but I heard a stat during the game yesterday that the Saints throw the ball 80% of the time when Sproles is in the game. I recall a while earlier in the year Sproles ran it quite a bit.

If CBS can dig that up you know scouts can.

Then I watch workhorse guys like Lynch tonight and wonder if RB by committee is actually a crutch because tendencies become easy to do even if unintentional.

Anyone know what PTs or KRs pass/rush ratios are?

And it was probably reversed when Ingram was in. I was hoping that kind of shite would end when Payton came back, but has continued from last season. Sproles has a career 5.1 YPC, let him run that shite sometimes.

Every time we run up the middle on 3rd and 1-2 it's a bad call IMO

I think that's part of it. Also we tend to run these slow developing running plays, and dlp get's owned a lot.

Need more misdirection like the 3rd down run with both Pierre and Darren in the game. Darren came in motion fake handoff toss to Pierre first down.

Careful dude. You get flamed here if you say anything other than "OUR LINE SUCKS, THEY ARE THE ONLY REASON WE CAN'T RUN THE BALL."

I believe it was the Bill's coach who presented the information to Sunday's announcers during a meeting.

It seems like CSP has about 4-5 running plays in his otherwise extensive playbook.
The mis-direction pitch must have been a old purdue audible by Breesus.

I agree that it is a part of the problem. Could also be why PT23 is the most effective. He prolly has the closest to 50/50 of run/pass plays when he is in.
