In this Sept. 9, 2018 photo New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees speaks during a post game news conference after an NFL football game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in New Orleans. Brees said, on Wednesday, Sept. 12, 2018, he isn’t worried about the Saints’ heavy reliance on the passing game during a season-opening upset loss. The result begs the question of how much a four-game suspension of running back Mark Ingram is affecting New Orleans’ ability to run. But Brees says the approach against Tampa Bay was about matchup advantages. (AP Photo/Bill Feig)

FILE - In this Sept. 9, 2018, file photo, New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara (41) carries against Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Ryan Smith (29) during the first half of an NFL football game in New Orleans. The Saints’ surge to the NFC South title last season was fueled to a large degree by a rejuvenated running game that ranked fifth in the NFL. The addition of Kamara, who became the 2017 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, to Mark Ingram, who had his second consecutive 1,000-yard rushing season, gave New Orleans an elite tandem. Heading into Sunday’s game against Atlanta, the Saints are averaging an NFL-worst 52.5 yards rushing during a 1-1 start. (AP Photo/Butch Dill, File)

That could be one reason why he doesn’t expect Drew Brees to keep throwing to receiver Michael Thomas quite as often as he has through the season’s first two weeks, when Thomas has racked up more receptions than the rest of New Orleans' receivers and tight ends combined .(AP Photo/Butch Dill, File)
