From the article

The Saints' entire team finished the day with just 91 rushing yards, led by Travis Etienne, who ran the ball just 9 times for 46 yards. New Orleans spent a lot of money in the offseason to ensure their rushing offense, and we were yet to see it in their Week 1 loss.

Etienne's 9 carries, 46 yards shows Saints' rushing offense failed to establish.

Travis Etienne, one of the Saints' big offseason signings to bolster their rushing offense, ran just 9 times for 46 yards in Week 1. The source notes that despite significant investment in the rushing offense (including Etienne and David Edwards), the Saints' entire team managed only 91 rushing yards. Etienne's limited usage reflects the Saints' inability to establish the run game, forcing Tyler Shough to throw 56 passes.
