Commitment to the run game never hurts either.

Unless that "commitment" bring the entire offense to screeching halt. The success of Payton's offense has always been the ability of the passing game to set up the run and to act as an extension of the run. This morning on Airing it Out on NFL Radio Charlie Weis said that with Thomas out you can expect the Raiders to load the box and force the Saints to go to the air. He also said that Brees and Payton are more than capable to be able spread it around. Hopefully they can be successful enough to give the running game a chance to be relevant as the game progresses.
