Spiller says he’s not frustrated by the lack of activity, something that was sometimes the case for him in Buffalo as well, and that he’s also not the one to ask about why he’s spending so much time as a well-paid observer.

“I go in when I’m told to go in. There’s nothing I can change,” Spiller said, via ESPN.com. “I know what I can present to this league. So it’s the same questions, [but] there’s no different answer. That’d be something, I guess for upstairs to answer, not me. I haven’t went up there and asked for an explanation. Obviously, there has to be a reason behind it. … But I feel good, and I stay in-tuned into the game so when I am called upon I’m ready to go out there and play. Obviously, you want to play more. You’re a competitor, you want to be out there, but you can’t play with 12 people on the field.”

Well he said the right thing while still making his point. The three-headed back hurts them all IMO.

CJ is a superb talent however I don't see 100% from him like I do in Ingram. Runs to the sideline far too much for my taste. It's a game of inches & we need to lay it out on the line on every single play.

Being that CJ only get 5 touches a game, I don't think we have any right to judge how he runs.

In the last season where he saw 20 touches a game he had over 1200 rushing yards and over 400 rec yards.

I doubt he will ever get more than 15 touches in any game this season unless Ingram goes down. Wasted FA pick up in my opinion.

The last person who said something like that got traded.

Well maybe he should put in more effort when he is in the game.

He had an easy first down if he put his so called "speed" to use, but no he just stopped and barely tried to juke and let Orakpo take him out of bounds short of a first down.

We didn't score any points for the rest of the game.....

but ingram couldnt get a missely 12 inchs either that killed a drive

Oh you mean the 5 touches, um yeah. He should order a pizza, answer some email, pay some bills during the game and then tear off for his 1 touch a quarter.
You give CJ Ingrams touches and he'd blow him out of the water, even the up the middle runs. Worst thing you can do to an good RB is run him cold. He has no feel for the defense,OL, or the field. He's being mismanaged is what is happening.
We are wasting the best RB we have, and could have won a few more games if they would use him. Even NE cant believe we are not using him. They considered spiller their #1 threat on the Bills.
Should have traded Ingram kept Ivory, I said before.

Saints proved that pigs could fly in 2009.
Now its time for another miracle SuperBowl and go where no pig has gone before.

I have to say he is not 100% mentally recovered from the injury. He seems tentative when it comes to getting those yards after contact. YAC is a get indicator of intestinal fortitude.

He isn't getting enough reps. They do to him exactly what they did to Sproles. It's so predictable. He's running a sweep or going out for a pass. It's stupid. You have to keep people honest. They need to ride one player for 1 half then ride the other for the 2nd half. Or even better, ride who's hot.
