Saints RB Talent Evaluation

So who is responsible for talent evaluation of RB on the Saints? Is it a scout, the RB coach, OC, head coach? After watching Bell last night, I realized how fortunate the Saints have been with running backs. Especially the ones who were not drafted. So who can we thank?

Really? Chris Ivory was close to being the leading rookie running back last year.

I was very pleased with yesterday's performance by our running backs. I feel alot better about our upcoming game at Lambeau as well.

Now if we can just get everyone through another practice week! They're brutal on tendons, large and small muscle groups.

Ahh - Ironhead. I remember watching that 65 yrd TD when he never looked behind him & when they asked him why he said he could see everything in the jumbo-tron!!

While we have not been blessed with health in the past at RB, we definitely are in depth and a knack for finding diamonds.
