Jackson if that good is capable of lessening Ryan's workload that he needs to learn. The top five QBs don't have backs take the pressure off of them. One of them was using the run last year but in the playoffs it came back to bite him. We don't have backs take the pressure off Brees and we should know anyways ourselves that in games where one did it wasnt exactly a good thing for Drew.

Nearing the end in Turner's tenure with us I really felt like when we handed the ball off to Turner on first down, we might as well start off on 2nd and 10. He'd lost all of the burst he had in 08-10. Not trying knock Turner, I appreciate all he's done for us, but he was burned out.

SJax won't be the bell cow back he was in St. Louis with us. I think we'll stick with being a pass first offense. I think we'll run him based on how much momentum he gives us on offense. I mean 10-20 carries a games. 25 carries rarely.
