This loss helps long run

Firstly, how much of a factor did Foster play against the Saints?

I'm not sure what your point is.  Maybe that Adam Heyward is also an upgrade over Ruud?

No. That we would have been good that game anyway. The D-Line is the reason we stopped the Saints, not the change at MLB, as you all seem to believe.

I thought Gerald McCoy was saving their butts?  Pick one excuse and stick with it.

Last I checked, Gerald McCoy was a D-Lineman.

How many snaps did he play against the Saints?

CBWx2  they drafted Ingram 1st round, signed Sproles via FA because he can actually run between the tackles unlike Bush.  Plus receiving and return.
They vested a lot to the run game, they might be pass happy but nowhere near the Packers because they are truly built on pass.
Saints want the balance attack, and that game Foster was money.  A lot of football to be played, this week has Forte and we will see what the deal.

When last you checked, did Gerald McCoy contribute to stopping the run vs. the Saints?

Of course I expected it. That's why I complained while Dom sat on his hands. I not only didn't like the lack of upgrades when they were there to be made, but hated the message to everyone.

Dom is an idiot not to upgrade the team when he easily could have.......theres a lot more to being a GM  then just the draft.

Really... Ruud?

[Biggs3535]

He was not the problem. Say it with me. Heck, just mouth the words if it's too difficult for you to admit out loud.

We'll see after 16 games.  Hell, the team is already better vs. the run compared to last season.

2010 after 7 games with the Power of Ruud:  1046 yards on 203 carries, a 5.2 average
2011 after 7 games w/o the Power of Ruud:  864 yards on 190 carries, a 4.5 average

Wow, just over 180 yards difference to the good.  Can't wait to see what the difference will be over 16 games.

Without Gerald McCoy there to save their behinds, neither can I.

I've updated the above stats to reflect 7 games played.
