2019 with Evans and NIcks up front we were good. Could move the pile.

After drew left, we were more consistent and better running the football. There was a very loooong drought in there before Kamara arrived when we were TERRIBLE up front. Always pushed back. Struggled to get a 3rd and 1.

It was so bad at one point Payton was running trick plays just to get a yard. There low point I recall was a game where Payton tried something like a TE reverse to Josh Hill to get a yard, and it failed.

A lot of it since Kamara arrived was just Payton being Payton and refusing to take what the defense offered, especially in key situations when a run was they right thing. One run vs the Rams in NFCCG on that critical series and maybe history is different.

But the run game for most of Brees career was neglected because that reflected the insitncts of the coach, and to the extent that lives on with Charmichael, we will still see similar outcomes.
