here's what I heard Monday on Sirius after Chris Carter interviewed Sean Payton:
CC voiced his opinion about the Saints running game, noticing the extensive passing by Brees.......he said, he doesn't think Deuce is 100% HEALTHY!....he based his opinion on observing HIS EX-TEAMMATES who had SIMILAR knee Surgeries, and explained that this is the griding part of the season, WHERE THESE INJURIES ARE FLARING UP IN ALMOST EVERY CASES, and even though the players won't admit it PUBLICLY......PRIVATELY THEY STRUGGLE MIGHTILY to play every week! He said that this is the most probable REASON as to why Deuce isn't MORE INVOLVED, and he understands PERFECTLY WELL why Brees has to throw more!.....it is THE PASSING GAME which HAS TO make up the deficiencies in the running game, and that's the MAIN REASON the Saints are passing more!
The Saints have to rely more on the running of Reggie Bush, if they want to be successful running the ball, and that might be a bit more difficult, considering Reggie HAS TO LEARN HOW TO RUN STRAIGHT AHEAD, and not sideways, or backwards!!
or........Brees has to throw more......
Good post!
And all of that is fairly obvious to any fan who is unbiased to particular players and just want the Saints to win.
