The Ravens template for beating the Saints

To Jake and rjackson57, I would agree that Bush's running has improved over the last two weeks but even with that he's still nowhere close to Deuce's level. The Saints need to take some pressure off of Brees by establishing a consistent running game. The quickest way to do that is by giving Deuce the ball, in turn Reggie less. Despite Reggie's improvement it hasn't equaled wins.......


I don't think that we are in total disagreement here. In my opinion, on Sunday Deuce should have gotten the ball more (Payton even mentions this in today's article on the front page referring to red zone). Where we disagree is taking carries away from Bush to increase Deuce's rush attempts.

On Sunday, I felt that both Bush and Deuce needed more rushes. I thought that I saw something, a rhythm, groove, where we could have been more productive on the ground.

Having said that, Payton still impresses me and I believe that he acutely aware of what he has in Bush and Deuce and the need to get those guys going.
