This.

And so far this year we have played much better when having a balanced attack. Whether or not we actually run the ball well or not. As long as it's decent running, it's good for the entire offense. I'm sure brees likes seeing 3rd and 4-6 a little bit more than 3rd and 10 all because we threw the ball on every damn down. With the backs we have there is no reason we shouldn't be able to have a solid balanced run game.

I almost feel bad for the running backs. If they were in other systems on other teams they would be putting up huge numbers. (except Ingram, I think we could run fkn David Thomas and be more productive than when Ingram carries the ball). But Especially PT and the fact that he can do everything you ask for from a running back and does it very well. Ivory too. Although he isn't as balanced as PT he is a hell of a running back. He's a Powerful back with good vision and great breakout speed. And blah on the fumbling crap. He hasn't fumbled at all this year and even the best backs in the league cough the ball up at some point.

But instead we put Darren Sproles in the backfield and let Brees get drilled because someone thinks its a good idea to put Sproles in to block for Brees
