Fleur-re-port from the Superdome - 08/17/10; quotes from Payton and Ladell Betts (slideshow)

Betts is a rough runner ,meaning hes a straight ahead runner which is what we really want. Someone who can pound out a yard or two on third and 1 plus. He should have no problem going through tackles and gaining those. Ivory is a young fresh kid off the farm with alot of potential. I like to see him put on about 6-9 pounds more and learn to run through tackles. The saints will probably keep him on the roster and in case Betts doesnt work out.
