I’m agreeing but also tempering. Cam is hurt and did not try to run on us anywhere near like he used to, when he did... we felt it.

It was only a matter of time until Fig Newton's body started to break down. I don't see him ever returning to his earlier glory. I expect the same to happen to McCaffery the way he's being over-used.

Same could be said for Kamara and Thomas the way they were being used earlier in the year. I think that’s why we started to get back to spreading the ball around more like we used to. We just don’t have the personnel to get it done that way and get the production like we had in years past. The Saints have proven they can beat teams using only Kamara and Thomas. We were doing it until a playoff spot was pretty much secure. After that they started taking a little pressure off them by attempting to spread the ball around. If using only Kamara and Thomas is how they need to win games in the post season that’s the time to do it. Payton has been playing long ball.
