It was the same thing with Bush, everybody expected Barry Sanders but got something else.

Those expectations were limited more by scheme than ability. Payton has always used the RB by committee approach. It is who he is and will always be. It is like Michael Jordan back when he played for UNC. It was said the only person that could hold him to under 30 points was Dean Smith.

I think AD is going to kill it this year. Although serviceable Mark Ingram is and will not be up to par with a runner like Adrian. Payton will be hard pressed to keep AD out of the game and Mark will have to bite the bullet.

Screw that! Put'em both in with Kamara mixed in there too. Then read the lips of the opposing team's DC.

Man, does Sean have almost too many cool toys to play with on his offense this year!
