Check out Carl Nicks reason for going to Tampa Bay

The funny thing was that he said "We don't really have anybody getting 20 carries a game" (speaking of the Saints, still in present tense) "Reggie might get 7, Pierre gets 11, Ingram gets like 10...Here Legarette is going to run the ball 20+ times a game."

Well...that means that the Saints generally run the ball over 30 times a game (once you count our gadget plays and stuff) which is actually much rarer with a one-back team.

I watched the interview live. What he said after that is that it is difficult to get into groove run blocking with so many different styles rotating in and out. Each individual runner needs different blocks.

That's very true. You never see PT getting the same play that Ivory/Ingram gets.
Payton's schemes have never been one size fits all.
I used to wonder why PT screens looked so good and Reggie's were the ugly bubble thing.
He just answered my long standing question about why running was so ineffective at times.
They would never get in a groove.
They would never establish control of the line of scrimmage.
Pass blocking is defensive. They are on their heels trying to keep defenders at bay.
Run blocking puts you on your toes with the defender on his heels.
That's got to be the preferred posture and mind set for an O-lineman.
It's very difficult to flip that switch when you've been on your heels for most of the day.
Nick's was just talking because he was asked.
It wasn't politically correct to say "The Money". You guys know that. Give him a break.
He's got to start jell'in with a whole new crew..."What's up fellas! I'm just here for the money". C'mon.
Good luck CNicks. I hope it all works out for you...
Except against the Black&Gold.

Right, so he will have an easier job, and will get paid more.
The Saints offense is so good because everyone's job is hard, and they do it very well.

Personally, I would change jobs tomorrow if I could get that same trade.
