Then week one rolls around and we throw tons of screen passes and check downs to RB's to very little success. Spiller isn't gonna be Sproles from 2011... The league has figured us out.
I don't agree with that. There is a big difference between a guy like Sproles/spiller coming out of the backfield over Ingram. Spiller coming in will create match-up problems for the D again, we need him back and healthy as much as we need Lewis.

You missed my point that teams completely figured out our use of Sproles. It doesn't matter if it's Ingram or Spiller... Teams have figured us out. Sean Payton has become one of the most predictable play callers in the league.

I agree on the predictable play calling, but in no way is a Spiller or Sproles coming out the same as Ingram. If Spiller played we would have 2 TDs from him against AZ; one when Ingram never looked for the ball and was wide open on the wheel route and the other on the wheel route he caught but was tackled at the 15, Spiller takes that to the house.
