There were numerous times this season where it seemed like a QB sneak was the obvious call but CSP elected to hand in off to Collins typically.

It was pretty clear the Eagles were NOT expecting it since Brees was getting like 3 yds each time. Either that or Grubbs/Evans was just mauling their guys bc Brees was following the OG each time.

I was really surprised how much of a push they got each time

There was a lot of QB rushing yesterday by Smith, Luck and Drew that you really didn't see in the regular season. I mean, they did occasionally run the option with Smith but still.

I saw some tweets by heads saying that it makes sense that a lot of teams will bust out the option or other QB running plays now because teams have no tape on it from them and it's very effective if it isn't expected.

Line was getting some push last night. Hope that trend continues.

Brees got 13 yards on 5 carries. Seemed like 90% of those yards were on QB sneaks. On that last one Collins did a masterful job pushing Brees because it looked like it was going to be short.

I think most teams have their own safety rules if you will for QBs running, and that these safeties get shelved for the playoffs. At that point you're in "whatever it takes " mode.

EDT: I think Brees repaired shoulder have made the Saints extra cautious with him since he's been here. This year is the most I've actually seen him scramble for yards.
