Underhill article on why the Saints O is so bleh
I wonder if Pete is just outsmarting himself in all of this. Payton had a proven concept during his time in NOLA: first offensive drive was all scripted. He played with mismatches and spread the ball to everyone he could. After that, he could have a better read on what were the defense's weak points. He played the mismatch game pretty well and put players in position to exploit bad matchups. If you are his disciple, why not keep the formula and add to it, instead of trying to impose a concept that isn't working and that is not stressing the defense at all.
