And we have a winner.

In 2009, we ranked 7th in rushing attempts (468).
In 2012, we ranked 29th in rushing attempts (370).

If we had run the same amount of attempts in 2012, with our current YPC average, we'd have ranked 10th in the NFL in rushing.

And during Deuce's best year (1,671 yards) the Saints finished 12th in rushing.
