Sean Payton isn't going to hide his game plan for using newly acquired running back C.J. Spiller. According to NewOrleansSaints.com, Payton plans to find a way to get the explosive playmaker the ball in space.

"He's explosive," Payton told NewOrleansSaints.com. "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."

Sounds similar to how the Saints used another speedy running back, doesn't it? Someone by the name of Darren Sproles?
