re: Why not utilize more of a 3 step drop back?

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".
