Heath Evans... Saints seek balance with diverse, Adrian Peterson-led backfield

It's not so much the touches, (I think him and Ingram could be close in carries) it's the # of plays Heath is calling for. Now I know that AD is pretty near a superhuman, but as a 32 year old RB, why would you have him on the field for 45-50 plays a game when there's no reason for it?

He even states that Peterson isn't the best pass blocker and we're a passing team. Yes Peterson as a decoy or using him for play action makes sense, but playing him that many snaps doesn't. IMO

If you read between the lines he's actually suggesting that we could have more run oriented packages. For everyone complaining about the WR corps and how dynamic it's isnt, you could say being less pass oriented now makes more sense. If you were looking to air it out you wouldn't move away from Cools and only replace him with Ginn and leave the wrest of the WR corps untouched.

Just read the tea leaves. Signed a RB, signed a big body run blocking guard, drafted a RB, drafted the #1 rated run blocking college lineman, and traded cooks. That kind of suggest a more balanced approach and yet Drew is still your QB so you will still inherently pass the ball more than you run...just hopefully that percentage is more balanced and not 63/37
