Got to be Deuce though, he carried the team for so many years, then tore his ACL in 2005 and came back and ripped off another 1k rushing season in 2006

The eagles game comes to mind when i think of deuce, bowling over the eagles safety and then stiff arming brian dawkins for another 10 yards, he was special
Another play from that Eagles game that I'll never forget.


The pile just keeps moving backwards.

Saints v/s Eagles 1.13.07 - YouTube

Even with all the spectacular runs he made ealier in his career this is my favorite Deuce moment.

Reuben Mayes is still a class act - one of our truly underappreciated stars...

Dalton Hilliard got the LSU love - but Reuben Mayes cutting through those blocks behind Stan Brock was truly awesome...

Deuce was our greatest back - hands down...

If we'd had a Bruce Matthews to run behind - who knows?!?

This is nothing more than a power ranking, but at one position and one team.

Isn't it just as ghey?

Re: Ranking the all-time best running back greats in New Orleans Saints history

Just curious, how many people voting have actually watched all of the RB's listed play?
IMO, Dalton Hilliard, Deuce McAllister no doubt

Deuce no contest. Williams was the most intimidating while healthy and lucid, which wasnt often....

Duece with a SPECIAL shout out for Chuck Muncie.
Chuck used to lay out corners and safeties that were late trying to go low.
Snap that neck and call for the trainers.
I loved that "Lightning & Thunder" combination.
May he rest in peace.

Without this play, we probably don't win SB44


The play sealed "Ambush". The timing was critical.

Brilliant piece of running.
