Looks like the interim champ (Bell) couldn't defend his title, and PT earned it back...in a huge way.

perhaps.....but 14 carries is hardly enough to be labeled a starter......now the coaching staff may feel thats enough when bell returns but for now thats still up in the air

Maybe it's this?

Just a thought.

Just to reiterate: running back by committee, with the healthiest guy getting most of the carries. If everyone is healthy, then PT23 as the starter, Bell as the backup. Reggie is his regular spot. But after that TD run in Philly, Reggie may actually earn more carries.

Good call. Those don't need any Tony's. They seem to be spicy enough!

That video had me laughing so hard I had tears in my eyes
and here I was depressed about getting divorced a 2nd time and leave it up to you guys to cheer me up

but seriously
Both bell and PT play hard. And no one can take anything away from either of them.
I think are both equally effective in there own way and personally I'm glad both are playing for us.
I would like to see the two of them rotated in games like Denver does with there backs

Well said. I like Bell a lot. It is no secret that I like PT more, but I would be perfectly fine with them splitting carries with Bush/Hamilton/Evans getting a few here and there, too. The Saints have one of the deepest pools of talent at RB in the league. A nice rotation can keep everyone fresh, and hopefully injury-free when Bell comes back.
