I had a feeling that Mike Bell's performance would bring out the competitive juices in the rest of our RBs.

Great game PT!!!

I agree....sort of. I think you are half-right saying that the other RB's felt they needed to produce to get more touches with the way Bell had been playing. However, PT did everything he has ever done when he has been on the field. He produced. Over 120 yards rushing, two scores, and 9 YPC? This game was huge for him, and as long as he stays healthy, he should get the majority of the touches. He is pretty dangerous and has a great nose for the endzone.

This is an EXCELLENT POINT ... We are SO STACKED at RB ... That will be huge for us later in the season (and it is now), but especially then.

Great post arsaint.

I was amused at one of the pregame shows saying something to the effect of Bell being out and the Saints would have to go with Thomas.

It almost sounded like we were having to pick someone up off the street instead of the fact that he was our primary back last year.

I think all four running backs that have played, for the Saints this season, are doing terrific. However, I think the main reason for the great running game, is because of the O-line. They are doing just as good at run blocking, as they are at pass blocking.
