No not at all. If Brees is throwing the ball more than 45 times, that's not good. Us having no run game yesterday was more due to the fact that we ran the same play to middle of the line 10 times and didn't try anything else. It got stuffed every time and was a waste of a down.

I understand that Drew threw the ball a lot. What I'm saying is that I think that Drew throwing is clearly the strength of our offense yet we still try to start the game off with getting our running game going. This often results in us trying to run on almost every first down and the defense knows it's coming so they stuff us. Then they know we are going to throw on 2nd and 3rd down. I want a balanced offense I just think we should rely on our passing offense to get the run game going rather than the other way around. Tampa was playing the run hard on first down and stacking the box, and we were playing right into their hands forcing long 2nd and third downs. When we look for the short pass on first down I feel like we pick up about six or seven yards almost every time giving us a lot more options for 2nd and 3rd down, and keeping the defense off balance. They seemed to know what we were doing all day yesterday.
