Running back Chris Ivory says he'll be ready if he's in that number for New Orleans Saints

12-09-2011, 06:24 AM

Saints running back Mark Ingram missed a second consecutive day of practice Thursday with turf toe and stepping into the rotation was Chris Ivory. The fact the Saints can plug the club's leading rusher last season into the active roster spot possibly vacated by the leading rusher this season goes a long way toward explaining why the Saints are an offensive juggernaut.

Coach Sean Payton already has addressed the dilemma he has faced before recent games as he decided which of the three running backs to activate. More broadly, the fact the Saints have had a reliable rushing attack is a big reason the team clinches the NFC South crown if it beats the Tennessee Titans in Nashville this Sunday and the Falcons fall at Carolina.

In 2010, with Pierre Thomas, Ivory and Reggie Bush all nursing injuries that kept them out of the lineup for protracted stretches, the Saints limped into the postseason with a wildcard spot, and shorthanded, lost in Seattle.

I hope Ivory runs for 150 yds and Pierre and Sproles tack on 150 more, it would make my day.

I wanna see Ivory play this game and a consecutive series of games. Then again, if we keep a starter like Ingram and can pull Ivory off IR every once in a while to fill in, I don't have a problem with it.
