Pierre Thomas is the starting running back for the New Orleans Saints of course, but like most teams in the NFL, he's not alone in the backfield.

Numerous teams have developed a two-back machine behind the quarterback, but some have even gone as far as three. The Saints are one of those teams as they have combined Thomas with Reggie Bush and Mike Bell.

Bell came to New Orleans two years ago after fizzling in Denver after a promising rookie season. His talent on the field was evident, but he just seemed to get lost in the shuffle with the Broncos as they gained more and more running backs.

Another undrafted running back like Thomas; Bell actually spent a little of 2008 with the practice squad of the Houston Texans before heading to the Saints. He was used very sparingly during that season and didn't bring about many stats, but the staff did not give up on him.

Coach Sean payton and other members of the coaching staff knew the ability that Bell had in him and that he was far too valuable a commodity to just let go. So with that in mind and a new season coming around, should the Saints re-sign Mike Bell?

Bell's first season with the Saints wasn't very successful and it got people wondering if he was merely a flash in the pan after his great rookie season.
