Bush being out certainly doesn't help the chances of the Saints winning. Two things may happen - one the OL might take exception to all "can't run block" talk and make an extra effort to make some holes for Stecker and PT (unlikely). If this is the case there will be 99.9% posts here on SR.com blaming Bush for the Saints running woes. Two - the O is less dynamic. The short dumpoffs Reggie turned into first downs will be a yard or two short with Stecker and PT. Payton realizing what he's lost leans on Brees. (this is very likely). The first scenario would be a shock, the second not surprising at all. And if the Falcons can pressure Brees then the Saints chances of winning goes into the toilet.....

Is a kneel down a running play?

I believe it's considered a "team rush".

let's just pray that drew brees had a great game, because in my opinion, we don't need reggie for now.

OK....here's THE BIG QUESTION!

What if PT has well over 100 yds rushing??

Whose fault is that? Can we blame the OL?......

Awwwww can we give this a rest already, why do we always hope for riffs on this ball club and never team accomplishments?

I think you'll see vanilla rushing play calls with PT in---nothing too cute. That being said, I wouldn't be surprised if the kid gets over 100 yds rushing and 2 TDs.

Hopefully it will compell Sean to for a while at least embrace conventional wisdom.

Run the damn ball down their throats.

Aaron Stecker leads the team in catches, finishes last in YPC

Two yards and a cloud of ugh!

Last year when the Saints went to the Georgia Dome, Colston, in the midst of his red-hot rookie season, missed the game.

That worked out well last year...

..................OUCH.!

I think Reggie out will force a whole new game plan. Other players might actually step up and make some great contributions.....only time will tell...Go PT

...........i could'nt agree more, they should have made the adjustments right after Deuce got injured......if they can make this work,then you add in Deuce and Reggie and you will have a real Offensive philosophy that can match up against any Defense in the NFL....peace...

 

[Brees 2 Colston]

We have no running game!! So it all depends on Brees if he is on form then we are capable of 500+ passing yards in this game so Colston could have a Career game here! Anyone else think that with us being so reliant on the pass this week there may be a chance we see Meachem:dunno:

Thomas 5 for 18

I agree with Bonchie and the others, we will not have a 100 yard back this season, b/c we don't stick with the run. My Monday night prediction: Stecker goes 14 for 49 yards, and Thomas goes 9 for 37 yards, and we pass for close to 400.
