Saints Are Loungin!

Sproles should fill Bush's role in Payton's Offense nicely. As an added bonus he'll give the Saints ST a huge boost - Sproles will return kickoffs (Reggie doesn't) and punts (Reggie was only an occasional PR with the Saints due to his tendency to get hurt returning punts). It's yet another solid move by Saints GM Mickey Loomis. Loomis is probably the least known reason behind the Saints success.

The only minor bummer about this signing came yesterday during Sean Payton's press conference. When asked about the Saints RB Chris Ivory Payton said "He's not ready" and "There is no timeline on his return" (Ivory had foot surgery late last season). In coachspeak that means "He's still hurt" and "He's going to miss a bunch of games". Payton likes to use a three back rotation which would have been Pierre Thomas, Chris Ivory, and Mark Ingram. Due to Ivory's injury it'll be Pierre Thomas, Darren Sproles, and Mark Ingram. So that explains why the Saints seemingly loaded at RB so aggressively pursued Sproles.
