He moved on to other teams and was very successful. |

And it's not like our run game has suffered after he was traded... |

He had so few touches that he always tried to do too much when he did get the ball. He goes elsewhere, gets 100 more touches a year and is suddenly a 1000 yard rusher. Twice. |

Re: New Orleans Saints open as underdog against Detroit Lions
No I don't think we have suffered at all. It would be nice to have him back but he is not needed.

Re: New Orleans Saints open as underdog against Detroit Lions
Reggie was a salary cap victim. We got Sproles to replace Reggie for half the cost. Sproles performed better than Reggie did.
Ironically, Sproles became a salary cap cut too. |

Re: New Orleans Saints open as underdog against Detroit Lions
The O-line needs to show up in this game or we are gonna get killed. Eight sacks of Teddy Bridgewater?!?!?!? Jesus.
Then again, the Vikes got 4 sacks of Stafford themselves, so...low scoring game, hopefully? Junyah and Jordan we need you guys ready to go get it. |

Re: New Orleans Saints open as underdog against Detroit Lions
Should be an interesting game with Suh and Fairly trying to get pressure against our C and gaurds, if we get man-handled up the middle it's going to be a very long day. I don't put much faith in our D from what I have seen but the Lions seem to self destruct from time to time on the O, if they don't it will be a long day also. We've had an extra week to prepare for them, it's our 6th game, time to put up or shut up. I will be watching this 1 close!!
