First reaction: the Spiller run was on a 3rd and long (3rd and 18 or something?) and generally the opposing D will give up the run and middle of the field to not give up the first down. Spiller had a great run and was still about 4 yards short if I recall correctly
Second reaction: he did look reall good on that run. Very solid footing, very polished, confident. Something I have only seen with Rawls and Marshawn here, and in none of the other runners here including C-Mike. His feet are under him really well. Best way I can explain it, all our other runners (especially Alex Collins) look like they are running on a treadmill . For as fast as their legs are moving, looks like they should be going faster. Compared to Marshawn and Thomas Rawls who look to have their feet under them and very consistent in how they look and how they move. Spiller looks like that to me also. I'm looking forward to seeing more
On the TD pass: definitely looks like a polished and experienced guy. Love that catch
One game reaction: we got a steal. How did no one else pick him up? Esp. with his salary pretty much already paid by the Saints?
