quote:

The team's problem with Brees is not that he struggles, it's that he can't struggle, not if the team is to have any success. At 35 years old, Brees accounted for more than 75 percent of the team's total offense. He has accounted for at least 73 percent of the Saints offense in every season since 2007, except for 2009, when the Saints running game was one of the league's best. The Saints' trade Tuesday may be their way off taking pressure off their quarterback.

And the problem with this is not understanding the numbers

I'd be more interested in seeing what the numbers looked like for the first half of ballgames in 2009

You run more when you have a comfortable lead to eat clock

A lot of the first grades were just people saying the Seahawks got Grahm. If you knew nothing about our situation and what were doing then Seahawks look like the winner of the trade. But if you really look at what happen, both teams are easily winners giving the nod to the Saints.

We were top 10 in the league in rushing in 09.


That doesn't come from just running it when you have a lead late in the 4th
