We have soooo much potential! And the production just isn't there... I think Sean Peyton may be getting a little fancy with his play-calling. We have a young WR core which may be struggling a bit with Peyton's beefy playbook.
Here are the two big differences i see between this year and last:
1) What the Deuce?
-Where has Deuce McAllister been? He was the Saints workhorse last year. #9 had the magic, and all eyes were on Reggie Bush, but the back-breaking labor fell on Deuce. And bore the burden like a pro! His touches this season have been lacking! Even though he's averaging 4-5 yards a pop. Less Bush, more Deuce!
2) Where's our O-line?
-Last year our O-line seemed an impregnable fortress from which King Brees commanded his football kingdom. What happened to that? This year Colts and Bucs spent more time in our back field than Brees did! I like Brees, and think he handles pressure well. But the man can only handle so much. Give the man some time and good things will happen.
That's my rant. The talent is there. The potential is there. If the coaching staff takes it down a notch I think we'll start to see a lot more of that wow factor from last year.
