I was thinking that the Saints were not biting on the boot at all. If the Texans can't run the ball effectively (and the jury is out on whether this line can produce yardage) it obviously disrupts the offense completely.

Like I said, we had an unwillingness to run it that was tied to it being a preseason game. They did everything possible to avoid putting the ball in fosters hands. The early bootlegs worked perfectly before it was obvious we didn't want our backs carrying the ball.

The Texans didn't run the ball well because they didn't want to?

Foster ran for 4 ypc and a TD in a 230 yard 24 point half for the offense. I'll leave it at that and let new Orleans "disrespect" our running game.

I said quite correctly that the Saints do not respect the team's running game, not that they 'disrespect' it. You may not appreciate the difference but for the benefit of those that do please do not misquote me.
