Yes, it's dangerous for a star RB as Payton said but a RB could go down on any given play so why not? DO IT. This is go time. Leave it all on the table and have no regrets. We put our best cards on the field and play them and play them where there is opportunity in the second season where it counts for everything. If he gets hurt then so be it. Never have to second guess putting the best on the field.

The Saints have managed to get into the playoffs without using one of our best players in arguably the most dangerous positions in football.

He scored a TD against the Bucs and we still lost; I get what you are saying but I don't like using him in that role.
