Could be a number of reasons why Perine earned 100 2 weeks in a row, but the holes were pretty big.

Still, it could be that the Saints and Giants are 20th and 30th in the league in rush defense, and most likely that's the biggest factor. Which, still is a good sign considering that our biggest challenge from here is the Chargers who are ranked 31st.

Dallas is 17th, and they'll game plan for him some this week, so we might get a better idea of what we have in Perine. It's encouraging though that when he's finally gotten the touches that he has performed. I hope he keeps his streak going next Thursday.

I think it's been such a long time since our starters have all been in the line-up and healthy that it's hard to compare. There probably are guys on the line that seem to excel in the run blocking game better than pass blocking, but I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that Perine is starting to settle in a bit and showing us what he can really do. If Perine continues to improve, then I think we'll all see that he is light years ahead of Fat Rob.
