KRob will get spillers looks
KRob was only ahead of Spiller for the primary HB designation. Meaning, "If Ingram goes down, who fills that role?"Spiller has/had an entirely different role than the one reflected in the starting HB pecking order, much like Bush, Sproles, Pierre, etc. That's how Payton runs that O.
In the Payton offense, Spiller's role is completely different from theirs, and will be waiting for him with open arms the moment he returns.
Nothing on roto all day, so guessing rumor. I reached for robison on my draftryno1980 said:
Actually if for some reason Spill is out I think everyone's going to learn the name Marcus Murphy real fast.Tim Hightower is still there, so theres that
Is this one of those deals where they're gonna update when the league forces them to update (injury report Wednesday)?
I have generally been on board with this line of thinking regarding Payton and the Saints however this off-season really seemed to come out of left field when they let Graham and Stills go (their top two receivers from last year). I think Payton wants to run the ball more, whether or not he can get out of his own way to accomplish that is another question entirely but I truly believe that the desire is there.
Not sure I agree. Does Hightower play special teams? I presume Murphy does.Actually if for some reason Spill is out I think everyone's going to learn the name Marcus Murphy real fast.Tim Hightower is still there, so theres that
Yes, Murphy will be returning kicks and punts.Not sure I agree. Does Hightower play special teams? I presume Murphy does.Actually if for some reason Spill is out I think everyone's going to learn the name Marcus Murphy real fast.Tim Hightower is still there, so theres that

Based on the data I posted earlier and my expectation that the Saints can't stop anyone, I expect Spiller reception floor to be 45, but I could see him easily catching 60-65 balls this year for his ceiling.
Jarius Byrd has yet to take a snap in practice," that we know of". We just cut Kenny Phillips who was our FS which leads me to believe Byrd is soon a go. What will we get out of a player that hasnt been on the field in nearly 2 years is anyones guess. Our LBs will finally be improved but it will take a little while for the to gel. Rookies. CBs will get tested with Lewis sidelined. The defensive line couldnt get pressure all of preseason but we never had the complete first team D starting at all in preseason due to Payton holding players out due to injuries. Its anyones guess. I think we will see improvement down the road but not at first.
If he plays starting week 1 then Spiller has an 80+ catch ceiling. I did this in the Vereen thread last year when people were going nuts predicting 80 catches for Vereen in New England. I don't remember the specifics but since Payton got the HC job in NO I think of all the RBs who have topped 80+ catches something like 80-90% of them were in Payton coached offenses. He loves throwing to his RBs.
Thanks for that update. But to say spiller is definitely out weeks 1 & 2 is total speculation. In fact after seeing the title of this thread I searched Google for all spiller related news for the last week and found absolutely NOTHING I suggest that.
