A great ground game would keep it all honest. Where's Khiry?

Markie Mark is finally showing some skill, but not until after playing gravedigger for almost every talented running back we've had since he got here.

PT 4.0 YPC (he can do better)
Sproles 3.8 YPC (he can damn sure do better)
Ingram 4.4 YPC (I can live with that)

As a team, 3.8 YPC - 25th in the NFL, not good

Reggie as a Saint - 3.99 YPC
Reggie as a Dolphin - 4.68 YPC
Reggie as a Lion - 4.7 YPC

Is New Orleans becoming the place where RB's just suck?

I was thinking that same thing. But looking at the 2010 playoffs, Reggie was just starting to run between the tackles and fight for yardage at the end of plays. I think we just dumped him right when he was starting to "get it." I think Ingram is just starting to get it now, though I know most people wouldn't be super sad to see him go this off-season. I wouldn't be surprised if he puts up 4.5-4.6 YPC with some other team next year.

EDIT: Also, I'll grant that Ivory was released for injury reasons more than anything.
