Underhill: The Saints believe their running game has the potential to be as good as anyone's

AD being sub par in pass blocking might be a problem. SR posters used to complain until the cows came home about Ingram and telegraphed plays early on, how will that work with Peterson? And I have no idea how AD's production goes if on a rotation where he's is fed a dozen carries a game at best.

We will likely use AD in run heavy formations, but that does not mean we will be one dimensional when he's on the field. Peterson has proven he can be very productive against 8 or 9 man fronts in the NFL. If he is healthy, he's going to create a lot of one on one match-ups on the outside and a lot of opportunities for Drew to check to play action and take shots down the field.

The beauty of the Peterson signing is that he is a luxury. We don't need him to catch passes out of the backfield or pick up blitzes on third and longs. Those are situations better suited for Kamara and Ingram, and when Sean Payton has the right pieces, he is one of the best at putting them in positions to succeed.
