Funny thing is, we were very much heading that direction in 2017 with Ingram and Kamara. Brees only had 3 regular season games with 300 or more passing yards, even though he started all 16 games.
But I've always felt that when Ingram got suspended the first 4 games of 2018, and with Brees showing that he could still be Brees even at that point in his career......we just never fully went back to that style of offense on a consistent basis.
