Due to Reggie Bush's knee injury, New Orleans Saints Head Coach Sean Payton had no choice but to play veteran running-back Deuce McAllister in their only crucial third-and-one yard (3rd & 1 yd) or fourth and one (4th & 1 yd) play, occuring in the second quarter of play. Here's the call: "It's forth and goal from the one yard line. Drew Brees, hand-off Deuce McAllister, left tackle for 1 yard, TOUCHDOWN." It was the 51st touchdown of Deuce McAllister career moving him into second place on the New Orleans Saints all time touchdown scoring list.

New Orleans Saints Head Coach Sean Payton is a moron and still isn't putting veteran running-back Deuce McAllister in the game on crucial third-and-one yard plays. The New Orleans Saints must figure out how to get a first down in third-and-one situations. Today, both third-and-one plays were Reggie Bush runs to the right end. The first was a 3 yard gain for a first down and the second was a -2 yard loss for a punt on forth-down. Head Coach Sean Payton needs give the football to veteran running-back Deuce McAllister or figure out another way to successfully get a first down on third-and-one situations. It has been a pattern this year, on crucial third-and-one yard downs, the New Orleans Saints have had very limited success running the football for a first down without Deuce McAllister in the back-field. Give the ball to Duece, dude. It ain't that difficult. Or, put Duece in the back-field and execute a passing play from Drew Brees to one of the New Orlean's Saints trustworthy receiving corps.

Sep 21, 2008 - Denver, Colorado - Is there an echo in here? This write-up is basicly a cut and paste from last week!!! The New Orleans Saints must figure out how to get a first down in third-and-one situations.

The New Orleans Saints lose to the Denver Broncos by a score of 32 - 34. The New Orleans Saint's loss is directly attributed to their inability to make first downs on third-and-one yard plays. Head Coach Sean Payton needs give the football to veteran running-back Deuce McAllister or figure out another way to successfully get a first down on third-and-one situations. This year, on crucial third-and-one yard downs, the New Orleans Saints have been unable to run the football for a first down, so why run it on third-and-one? Any third-down play must be a passing play from Drew Brees to one of the New Orlean's Saints trustworthy receiving corps.

Sep 14, 2008 - Washington DC - The New Orleans Saints lose to the Washington Redskins by a score of 29 - 24. The New Orleans Saint's loss is directly attributed to their inability to run the ball.

This year, on third-and-one yard downs, the New Orleans Saints have been unable to run the football for a first down, so why run it on third-down-and-one? Any third-down play must be a passing play from Drew Brees to one of the New Orlean's Saints trustworthy receiving corps.
