We have a running game after all

PT was PT - dude is a warrior - enough said.

Chris Ivory played well.

Mark Ingram saw Ivory play well and imagined life on the inactive list...

Hey "Saintkiller" - just wait to hear what we say about Atlanta come playoff time.

The Saints actually tried to run the ball and have some balance. Amazing how actually using your great talent at RB pays off. Doh!

Since RB is by committee all need to be involved; after catching a few dump off passes Ingram may not be looked at as just running the ball; Ivory stays in beast-mode but did anyone else notice how he holds the ball - still very loosely, PT is PT (still the best out the bunch) and other than the fumble on the KO return Cadet did OK for the amount of time he was in... If we could get this type of performance against the Falcons - they will have their 1st lost - in the words of BART SCOTT "CAN'T WAIT"!!!!!

I doubt that the Falcons are as inept as the beagles. Meg Ryan's offense is all quick throws, so forget about a repeat of this week.

Ctfu...I dont know why he even bothered smh Just save it for the game if im not mistaken I think you all got swept last year?......I feel a repeat coming on...silly Falcon tricks are for kids!

I would definitely say it played a part. When Ivory is active and playing, we make a better effort in running the football. So while he may not be the sole reason why we ran the ball well, it played a part in the grand scheme of things. Being a one dimensional player(the way we use him), in my opinion, has a certain positive impact on our offense. It makes us commit.

Sproles being out, is what brought in Ivory RB, and Cadet ST. No one has seen them this year and didn't know hot to key off of them. That changed the entire dynamic of our offense. Ivory became the between the tackled runner and Ingram was used on the outside more than normal.

UNTIL we were in the 4th Qtr and trying to run only.. that was a 3 and out. They knew what was coming.

RBs do not MAKE holes, they read them, not when its a 15 yard run.. Our O-Line was making holes.

Dont misunderstand this, I am a HUGE fan of Ivory.

It has nothing to do with our running backs, its our system. When we commit to the run with the right backs in the right position at the right time. Look at how Reggie is being used in Miami, he is tearing it up, he just didn't fit here. If we continue to commit and for gods sake keep handing Ivory the rock, our running game could be one of the best.
