Triplett says Saints Interest in Chris "Beanie" Wells is "Bona Fide"

diat, it's not a reinvention. The drive started with 8.26 left on the clock. They started off passing on the drive. Nevertheless, 5 of the last 10 plays before the two minute warning were running plays. The other five were dink and donk plays that allowed for ball control and prevented the Eagles from keying in just to stop the run. The versatility of having two runners like Reggie and Deuce, along with the ability of Sean Payton to mix things up, prevented the Eagles from finding a way to stop us in that final sequence of the game. Without such versatility, you are left to rely solely on the pass, which is not always going to be the right recipe for success. I would imagine that had we been able to run the ball against Tampa in that last game, we come out the victors and not on the losing end. I do think Payton should have involved Pierre more in that game but for whatever reason he did not. Still, the point remains. When you have a runner like Wells, it opens things up for your offense just as it does when Reggie is on the field. When we had Deuce, the threat of his running forced teams to play us more honestly. At the same time, having the ability to throw the ball downfield and incorporate Reggie into both the running and passing game kept defenses from solely responding to the run.


no, it is a reinvention. you said that we ran out the clock rushing deuce, let me show you again:

LIKE THE EAGLES DID NOT DO IN THE LAST 9 MINUTES BACK IN 2006 BECAUSE WE RAN DEUCE UNTIL THE CLOCK RAN OUT

just admit you made a mistake.

what I find funny is that you mention how we were able to drive down the field due to the versatility of deuce and reggie, but yet want to draft a one dimensional player to replace the "deuce" in our offense instead of using the multi dimensional thomas that has shown nothing but upside and versatility in this offense. it just doesnt compute.
