lets see average 4 yards a rush and do it three time row and you get a first and 10 to do it again. i can live with it.

The Saints totaled 78 yards on 29 rushing attempts

The rest of the team gets 35 yards on 20 rushes. thats 1.75 yards and a punt. does not cut it.

PT does this year in and year out and still gets no respect

Maybe not from the national media, but locally he does, and Saints fans have known for several years that he's our best RB and probably top 10 in the league.

I don't know anyone that doesn't think he's our best RB, and has been for 5 or 6 years.

Fantasy Football has some impact on national media attention too and unfortunately for Pierre, he's not a top fantasy running back due to his limited touches and Ingram getting the bulk of the goal line carries.
