Who do we bring back at RB in '11

Boy, people jumped off of PT's bandwagon just as quickly as they got on it.

Not too many RB's compile 100+ yards rushing and 100+ yards receiving in their first game as a starter. Against the Bears defense no less.

Oh well. Ivory is the shiny new toy. PT who?

That was 4 years ago. Since then PT has had a total of two 100 yard rushing games and zero 100 yard receiving games.

That shouldn't be a knock on PT at all... he's received 20 carries a grand total of 2 times since he's been here. When he touches the ball, he produces period... whether it's rushing or receiving the ball. PT is the best complete back on this team... which is why we utilize him in a variety of ways, not strictly regulated to running the football.

I was not knocking PT at all. It is just not good business to hold onto something that happened once 4 years ago.

With out a running game we are not a balanced offense. Our running game showed up with Ivory. Period.

It was an example of how good the guy is and that he is used in many ways in the Saints offense. The only thing that I'm "holding on to" is the Saints Superbowl win with PT starting as RB. Pierre is the Saints best and most complete back.

I'm still on that PT bandwagon, and have been since his rookie training camp. I'm 100% convinced he's our best RB
