Favorite Saints running play of all time (1 Viewer)

I'm not sure if this was posted, but I think it was a screen to Reggie in our playoff game against the Bears in 06/07.

That one was over the top. Reggie ran a wheel route and burned the whole Bears defense in the NFC Championship game.

The run that saved my life.

Wow, wow, wow. You're a very special person and have an amazing outlook on life. We can all learn from you.

This is incredible. I mean, I feel like we should derail this thread to talk about this story.

I've always been fond of the run by Lorenzo Neal at the start of this clip:



Unfortunately Neal broke his ankle later in this game ending his time as a running back and transitioning him into one of the all time best blocking fullbacks.

This single run accounted for 23% of his rushing yards with the Saints and 9.2% of his career rushing yards.

this was the first one I thought of when I saw the thread. Thanks for finding the video. I will never forget that.

this team has always been fairly blessed with runs with the exception of the some very notable voids during Bates, Dunbar type years.

Saints vs Cowboys, 2006 Week 14. This is the first game where I knew the Sean Payton Saints were not the Saints of old. Cowboys started off with a 77 yard TD run, and the Saints just piled it on after that including 3 TDs by Mike Karney. However, my favorite run of that game, and one that sticks in my mind very vividly, is a beautiful screen by Reggie Bush where he follows 2 O-linemen all the way down the field for a 61 yard TD (starts at about 1:40 in the video). Until that moment, a Saints' SuperBowl seemed like only a dream. I knew they would fall apart and blow it at some point based on year's of letdowns. This was the big pinch that woke me up to it being a real possibility.

yes. There were of course years where our Oline has links weak enough that you couldn’t tell if we actually had a RB or not. Dunbar stands out in my head because he was a 2nd (I think) or even late first. And we openly said that we picked him for his production. We were basically clueless at the time on how to tell if the skill would translate to the next level. Horrible wasted pick.

A good start would be to click on the link and read this incredible story. If you haven't done that, you are missing someting unbelievably uplifting.

This one is up there for me. MI ties Deuce for the All time Saints TD record while dragging defender across goaline.

Maybe you've told this story on here before, maybe not, but it was my first time seeing/hearing it.
Glad you can taste again, and Thank you for your service seems so cliche and an understatement, but, Thank you for your service.

This. Absolutely this. I wasn't familiar with your story so thanks for posting it here. Thank you for your service.

PT23 dive over the pile on 4th&1 in OT of NFCCG. Vikes LB met him at the apex and got his hat on the ball, but PT held on. Was there ever a more clutch 1yard run?

Came here to say this. I have watched that replay hundreds of times, and I still don't understand how PT held on to that ball. If he doesn't convert, Saints probably don't go to Superbowl.

:39 is the longest run in team history, George Rogers vs Browns 1981, 79 yards
