why was he able to stay on the field more...after he left...and being used twice as much?

training and conditioning staff?
missing 20 games in 5 years, versus 3 over the last 3 years.

yoga? vegan diet? playing surface? has he ever commented on it?

3.7 rushing avg in NO as a semi-legit running back....4.6 with lower grade teams

Experience, growth, and durability helped, I'm sure.

Highly doubt it was team docs, training, and conditioning.
I mean, they did give the OK for Brees.

Moot point. Buffalo is a terrible team, but they're pretty effective in the run game.

He learned how to hit the hole and take positive yardage rather than trying to break every run. I always thought he was pressing himself to make a big play every touch because he knew he wasn't getting a full workload. Now that he's the main guy, he can be patient and let things develop on their own. This is pure speculation and opinion of course.

He averaged 4.5 over his last 3 seasons here.
