WWL's Kristian Garic spoke with Saints running back Chris Ivory today, asking him if he's frustrated watching from the sidelines as the team's rushing game struggles.

"Deep down, I would have to say, yes, I'm frustrated," Ivory told Garic. "It's a little frustrating to just kind of sit back. I just feel like my worth is more than that, than just, you know, sitting back on the side."

Ivory said he's trying to be patient.

"Well, that's out of my hands...but at this point, you know, in the season, I do feel that I should be on the field, you know," Ivory told me. "But I'm not playing, they're not putting me out there, so I guess I'm going have to continue to try to be patient to try to see, you know, how things go from here."

Garic asked Ivory if the Saints coaches told him why he's not getting playing time.

"No, I don't really get too much communication from them, they don't communicate with me. But, that's where I stand, just waiting and being patient. And I do understand the deadline of this trade is at the end of this month...we'll see what happens."

When asked if he would request a trade, Ivory replied, "No comment."
