Saints run game a work in progress

Yes, it was only training camp, so take it with a grain of salt, but:

The Saints run game in Tuesday morning's workout left a lot to be desired. in 17 plays, the scored 3 times on snaps from the three yard line, in. One was a on pass to tight end Jeremy Shockey, the other on a run when Reggie Bush was stopped left, and reversed field to score.

Only once, on a touchdown run up the middle by Mike Bell, were the Saints able to move the pile.

Here's the facts: even without a great red zone run game, the Saints were still the 5th best in the league last season in scoring touchdowns when reaching the opposition's 20 yard line.

Imagine how much better that percentage could be if the Saints could run the football effectively? Maybe it will happen, but it didn't Tuesday morning.
