Underhill article on why the Saints O is so bleh

What's interesting is that Payton and his stale offense in Denver are running motion at three times the rate we are, and they also have the highest % of throws outside the pocket (27% versus 7% for us). The offense in a lot of ways looks the same as what we're trying to do, but it's being dressed up and executed differently (and with better results).

Yeah. And it’s not that motion is some sort of magic bullet.

One of the biggest differences I see between Payton and Carmichael is failing to use players in roles that maximize their strengths. Your stat on throws outside the pocket is a perfect example. When Russ was great, that was his super power. So Payton adapted.

Where are the slants for MT? Why are we using Carr as a fake fullback? Why did we slam Kamara into the line so much last season?
