New Orleans Saints Forums - blackandgold.com - The most effective team out of the single-back?

SP's constant push to building a solid run game is not old school by any means.
Saints probably have the best back field advantage in the NFL. Thats very impressive when you think of the possibilities it opens for other key positions like WR, TE, and FB.
SP is really breaking ground, by defining a threat at every position, and showing the NFL what a real spread offense looks like.

The most effective team out of the single-back? Would you believe the New Orleans Saints? As we noted last year, it's fairly rare for a team to average six or more yards per carry out of a single-back set. The Saints joined the 2010 Texans, 2009 Titans, and 2008 Giants as the only teams to break that mark since we began charting. Replacing Reggie Bush with Darren Sproles seems to be working out pretty well in the bayou, even if nothing else currently is.
