Throughout the last few years the New Orleans Saints have become a fairly balanced team in terms of run to pass split. Back in the 2014-2016 season we saw Sean Payton offenses near the bottom of run percentage stats because of their reliance on the passing game and abysmal defenses.
Now that the Saints have pulled together what was a top-five defense in 2020 and have an All-Pro talent at running back, we can see the tides begin to change and a great balance being struck.
Many times throughout the Saints’ franchise history, Saints fans would call upon the team to not abandon the run game.
