New Saints running back C.J. Spiller could be better than Reggie Bush, is prime for big season in New Orleans

I believe Spiller could possibly beat out Ingram as the feature back and lead the team in rushing. Keep in mind I said possibly. I do not think he can be the type of matchup nightmare Reggie was. Reggie caught 90 passes as a rookie. He had arguably the best hands on the team and was/is a polished route runner. Spiller may become deadly on screens and swing passes but it's a reach to think he'll ever run routes from the slot or other receiver spots like Reggie. Please prove me wrong C.J.

It touch Reggie 4 years to realize a 10 yard run sideways didn't gain a yard

I loved Sproules

I'm excited about Spiller - a guy who is hungry and wants to come here and lay it out there

Mazarati in a school zone. Lol

Wrong; that's the same exact thing Marrone tried to do with him in Buffalo... CJ Spiller is and never will be a between the tackles feature back. He is a change of pace/open space back just like Sproles and Bush were, only better...

Yup..
If we try to make Spiller the every-down-back he'll end up getting hurt.

He needs to be used exactly like Bush was. Maybe 10 rushes a game but he should have 5-10 receptions every game as well. Motion the guy out to the slot and let a LB try to cover him... I really like this pickup, the options are endless and we are finally going to be unpredictable on offense again.
