Seattle is a power running team. They rely on Wilson's legs, when healthy, the aforementioned running game and their defense. That's not an explosive offense. Their line isn't what it was a couple of years ago, and they don't have Lynch anymore. Spiller isn't a back who fits that team. I'm surprised they signed him at all.

The Saints knew what he was about, and we all assumed he would be used in the Sproles role. Instead they barely used him at all after he finally got on the field last year, and then, after he got healthy and looked like he had his explosion back, they released him.

If they were worried about his ability to fit the system, they shouldn't have signed him. So yes, Guido, it was dumb of the Saints AND Seattle to sign him.
To be fair, the Saints did try to trade him before they cut him outright, but nobody appeared to want him. Could it be that he just appeared to be "explosive" up against second half preseason talent?
