Powered by their high-powered offense, Drew Brees and the Saints defeated the Cowboys in overtime by the score of 34-31.

Their latest triumph came today on the road against the Oakland Raiders. A balance offensive effort and a big play defensive performance propelled the black and gold to a 38-17 victory over the black and silver.

Mark Ingram, Pierre Thomas, Darren Sproles, and Chris Ivory are all healthy and ready to go, but the four backs are one more than Payton would typically like to have.

Having four backs that you have confidence in can be a good problem, but remember, if all of them are active, then you'd be taking away a roster spot from a player at another position.

Payton hasn't said how the Saints will deal with the situation when they take on the New York Giants on Monday night.

The Saints have a 3 week window to decide whether or not to activate him, release him, or place him on injured reserve.

His bruising style as a runner took its toll however, and he had two offseason surgeries. As a result, he's spent the beginning of the season on the PUP list. That will change next week, as he should be activated to the 53 man roster. How will coach Sean Payton deal with an already crowded backfield?

After all, these guys are rookies, and they have a lot of football in front of them.

It would be much more logical to put grade on recent first-round draft choices a few years down the road, but we're sports fans, and what fun would that be?

So, let's do it now!

The New Orleans Saints will indeed not be bashful about letting the football fly through the air this year, but they also want some balance with a solid running game.

The New Orleans Saints realize this, and took steps to correct what they perceived as an area that needed improvement over 2010.

The Saints traded to draft former Heisman Trophy winning running back Mark Ingram, and signed free agent running back Darren Sproles away from the San Diego Chargers, to join veteran Pierre Thomas.
