Good article by Jeff Duncan. Intersting stat:

The Saints are 5-1 in games when Ivory has 12 or more carries


Hope he is healthy for the Falcons

Interesting fact but in the end rather meaningless without context.

Def could be skewed, of course teams run the ball more in games they win, because they usually have the lead at the end

And I'm not saying that Ivory isn't important to the Saints. Rather, I'm saying that the particular fact that the OP posted is rather useless.

In short, I agree with conclusion that Ivory is a key player for the Saints, but I don't agree with that particular line of reasoning to get to the conclusion.

let's just say we are a lot better with Pierre and Ivory in the backfield together, so Reggie doesn't have to carry the ball more than 4 times... backwards!!!
