Sorry about that- should have dug a little deeper in the research- must have been old data. Net and gross are also variances I should have specified. 

One thing about that 2011 Saints offense- that was peak Darren Sproles. He had 1300 yards rushing/receiving that season as the 3rd down RB. They gave the ball to Ingram, Thomas, and Ivory about 300 times, and he still out-rushed them all at almost 7 yards a carry on 89 attempts. 

I suspect if the Packers run for over 2000 yards like that team did, we wouldn’t think they abandoned the run game. And while I like this stable of RBs for the most part, I don’t know about them doing that unless the rookie from ND proves a revelation. The Packers won the 2010 (2011) Super Bowl only rushing for 1600 yards.
