What do the Saints need to do to have a decent rushing game? I feel like the offensive line is good, and I like Pierre Thomas and Chris Ivory running the ball; but it isn't working. What needs to happen to have a 100+ ypg rushing attack??

First off, this season isn't over.

Secondly, I think the main thing is keeping everyone healthy. Bush and Thomas got hurt, and it took Ivory a little while to earn playing time, and we had to endure Ladell Betts and Julius Jones
I think if they stay healthy, the Saints can have a rushing attack similar to what they had last season.

The Saints bread and butter is the passing game and will always be what will win us championships as long as Payton and Brees are here. It would be nice but we don't need an AP or Chris Johnson type running back in our offense. Pierre and Ivory are the perfect compliment as far as ability is concerned..It's there health thats the issue we have had at RB, and has been ever since Deuce tore his knees up. We just need PT, Ivory or whomever to stay healthy all season and the production will be there.

I like the personnel also. But, make no mistake, the problem with our rushing game this year is primarily a result of our OL.

It's pretty amazing how different a year makes.
