The Saints acquired former Buffalo Bills running back C.J. Spiller this offseason, presumably to replace Pierre Thomas. His new head coach Sean Payton has made it clear he wants to get him the ball in space this season. "He's explosive," Payton said. "He knows what to do. I think there's a real good fit for him with what we're going to do offensively. We'll put him in a role where, whether he's in the backfield, (or) flexed out. The key I think for him is when we study him is finding him ways to get him the ball in space and let him utilize his skillset and speed.
