Not to mention Slaton backing up Tate today. Both were worthless. As was the OL. How can we do play action, especially in the red zone, when there are no rushers to respect?

I don't think the pathetic part was thinking Foster would help. After watching us let the game dribble down our leg in the 4th quarter today, my biggest hope is that if Foster is %100 we put that game away by stuffing it down the saints throat like we should have. Foster is a game changer. And Tate is solid. And like you noticed, the bigger problem may be that Slaton is not. Especially when we try to make Steve Slaton be Ron Dayne and run inside. He cannot do it. When he goes in the game the playbook needs to change unfortunately. But we asked him to be a square peg in a round hole.

The pathetic part had nothing to do with observing we miss Foster. It is about anyone who loses and says "that's ok, those guys are really good."
