AMA - Ask Me Anything (Saints Preseason Game 1)

How would you describe what is wrong with our running game? What do we need to do to fix it and is Kubiak the guy to do that?
Timing and rhythm. I'm giving the running game a little more patience. When you're running a zone-heavy scheme, especially this Alex Gibbs-style stretch/outside zone offense, it's all about timing and the OL getting enough reps together. The backs getting a feel for it and learning to read the wash up front. Every run can hit at potentially 3 different landmarks. It's not like lining up and running gap-scheme power and counter, where it's down block/deuce block, pull/kickout, etc., and you basically know exactly where your crease is gonna be. There's a lot more moving parts.

I'd say give it time. Though I would really like for Kendre Miller to get healthy bc this offense is made for backs like him.
