He would need vision to be what PT was.
Ingram STILL runs up peoples back rather than break left or right.
CJ never impressed me. Probably never impressed Payton either.
We haven't had a PT since PT.
Screen was a BIG part of Sean Payton-Saint-Brees success.
It's a piece Payton has been looking for and hasn't found it since PT left.
CJ was a crap shoot and it just didn't work out.
Sproles replaced Reggie and we never lost a beat.
In fact, Sproles was an upgrade in efficiency.
The Sproles impact is also still a void.
The Graham impact is still a void.
Payton just has to figure out how to use what we have and get the most out of it.
