The Running Game

As much as I’d like to see this, I have to respectfully disagree that this will be the case. Payton has wasted Murray’s talent so far, don’t see him changing now. Just doesn’t seem to be in his DNA. Would we like to see 2, 1,000 yard backs? YES....Will we get it? Highly doubtful. I think Payton has his “New” project in proving he can transform Winston into a success story. Fits his personality.

Very true. The inability to stick to the run has been our Achilles heel under Payton. I’m hoping we see a change in philosophy now that we don’t have Brees.
