Carr's Oblique Injury is on the Left Side (Merged)

Bill said

If the Saints offensive line had been holding, it would have taken the Chiefs defenders 3 seconds to get to Carr instead of 1. Every time our running back is getting a defender's bear hug before he can reach the line of scrimmage, the offensive line has failed. Go back and count how many times you saw that on our running plays last night. It really explains a lot about the loss last night.

This... Pass pro is almost impossible if run game isnt working. Especially kibiac's system. Run sets up the pass, and if it doesnt then the passing game becomes hope and prayer throws every play with qb under constant pressure. Especially when playing from two scores down with a tired defense (-20 minutes in time of possession).

All those things play into the hands of the pass rush. THATs what Happened last night. A penalty on one drive and a funny interception return by a 300 pounder were the only reason this game wasnt a 40-burger. That early interception was on Carr, the rest all leads back to OL and inability to run the ball.
