On paper, the New Orleans Saints' offense continues to rank among the league's best through four games.

The Saints enter the bye week ranked seventh in total offense (370.5 yards per game) and fourth in passing (276.5 yards per game).

Making the offensive effort even more impressive is it comes without a key member of the wide receiver corps.

Willie Snead served a three-game suspension for an offseason alcohol-related incident to start the regular season, and then was inactive with a hamstring injury in Week Four.

Senior offensive assistant/wide receivers coach Curtis Johnson pointed out in a telephone interview that Snead's absence has been felt.
