The "Reggie Ratio" is hurting us

EvilMike said

You can leave it to the professionals starsaint but the truth of the matter is, the Saints are 27th in the league in total rushing, and we have a former All Pro RB who has run for over 1600 yards in one season AND a RB who has been mentioned as perhaps the greatest RB in college football history. Obviously whatever we are doing in the running game is not working and its time to try something else.

I wasn't really disagreeing with you, I believe Payton will correct the run/pass ratio. However, Deuce can be that kind of back for us, if and when he is completely healthy (i don't think he is right now). Coach Payton knows that running the ball on a consistent basis is the key to winning games; moreso than passing it. But I'm sure he knows what he's got in both Reggie and Deuce at this time and keeping deuce fresh while giving reggie more chances to bust a big one, via the passing game, is the approach he is going with.

Now, do I think this will change? Yes, and it starts this week. I have a feeling we are going to see more I formation 2 wr sets with deuce getting runs up the middle. One thing that I have noticed from the coach is that he is not afraid to change up his gameplan/philosophy on the drop of a dime.
