Only 6 carries for what should be a #1 RB. So annoying.

Did you not watch the game? Even with 44 on 6 , the 2 other backs posted similar YPC numbers.

I think that might be BG's point. If the others are no better, why to just give the starter more runs?

Yes I watched the game, as I've watched every Saints game this season. See the two posters below you. Just doesn't make sense to be giving Ivory (who had 1 carry prior to this game) 10 carries and give Thomas (who has been a very productive player for the Saints for years now) 6 carries and very few plays in general. The lack of snaps Thomas got was very bad news. It seemed like every time Thomas got on the field he got the ball, meaning he was only on the field for about 10 snaps. Very bad news for those depending on Thomas to replace Sproles.

i agree, seems like he's been very underrated for a very long time now.
