how can the offense NOT take a step back?

Come on bro! Spiller isn't even close to the mismatch nightmare Jimmy Graham is. You lost me with that comment. Spiller is an explosive cat, but he hasn't been used in the Bush/Sproles role before (really). To say he's "every bit" the mismatch Graham is sounds just plain ignant.

It also sounds "ignant" to believe the Saints offense can't be good without Jimmy Graham when they were a top offense for 5 straight years before he even came along, as if Payton and Brees have no idea how to run an offense without him around.
