The 2007 Giants were the last top 10 rushing team to be in a SB. [/quote]
Saints had the 6th ranked running game in 2009.[/quote] Pierre Thomas lead rusher and Chris ivory

and then they spent a first on Ingram...
Lets not forget they spent a top 5 pick on a HB in Reggie Bush too...
Re: Running Backs are a dime a dozen
Like I've said before, I was rooting hard for Doug Martin and was devastated when the Bucs snagged him.
However, the more tape I got to watch on this kid the more I love him. Many people already brought up the fact that Bradshaw is never 100%, Scott still has yet to prove himself, and Ware is Ware.
He's got a few things to learn this offseason but I certainly think he can improve the heck out of our run game, and then the Don Eli can handle the rest.

And Ingram was hurt all year. Bush didn't live up to the hyp
He also had injury problems.
Running backs have the highest propensity to get hurt
They are of no value in my book

That's correct, I stand corrected. Still that's 8 of the 10 SB participants not having a top 10 running game. That's a pretty significant number there. </P>
