"Payton is an inovative play caller and play designer and everyplay he calls is intended to get big yards which is why brees can throw for 380yrd and duece can have a 15 carry 120yrd game"

I think his play calling has been the biggest part of the success. I think if Haz had the same players, there is no way we are 5-2 right now. Duece would have probably came up gimp by now, and he would have had NOOO idea how to use Reggie....

Playcalling is pretty good.

I think he got a little too cute on the half back pass and he does seem to struggle too much in the Red Zone.

Thing I'm most worried about is Deuce's health.

I think he might be hurting more than he lets on. Basically he says he can't cut right now. Is it more a hammy or more knee pain, or some combo.

That's a big blow. A near healthy Deuce is what was allowing us to exploit Bush's presence on the filed.

If Deuce is hobbled the rest of the way I'm not sure we'll even go .500 through remaining games.
