The Saints two best years under Payton were with a more balanced attack and with the two highest rushing totals during his tenure. In 2006 the Saints rushed for 1761 and made it to the NFC Championship. In 2009 they rushed 2106 and and won the Super Bowl.

The three worst years under Payton came in 2007 with 1466 rushing yards and no playoffs, 2008 with 1594 rushing yards and no playoffs, and 2010 with 1519 rushing yards and a first round loss in the playoffs.

Running the ball controls the clock. Controlling the clock limits the other teams possessions and places less pressure on the defense. Running the ball limits exposing the franchise QB to hits. All good things for the Saints.
