Dear Darren Sproles: Please Don't Come Back

He was in the doghouse for fumbling. Kromer said something about it at the start of the year. But not for HOW MANY times he fumbled, Ivory didn't really fumble that much, it was WHERE and WHEN and HOW he fumbled -- for example at bad times in games or in situations that caused a 14 point swing (took away 7 from the Saints and wound up giving 7 to the other team, or on crucial drives where we needed points, stuff like that). And bad ball handling -- sometimes the ball would squirt out when he hit the ground, or when he was on his way down, and he would get 1-2 stripped when one guy would stack him up and another would go for the ball, while Ivory was thrashing around, which is a pretty basic and avoidable kind of fumble. As opposed to the Pierre Thomas style of fumbling, where he generally has to have his ankle freaking get broken or be knocked out cold, in order for him to cough up the ball.

That's some funny logic right there...

Team goes 0-4......defense is handing out yards and points like Halloween candy, the offense was sputtering along and not putting teams away...

...but dammit, we sure won't activate Chris Ivory...he MIGHT fumble !
