euce - 109/474/4 rushing (4.35 ypc), 9/58/0 receiving (6.44 ypr) on 10 targets - 23.6 touches per gameBush - 48/238/4 rushing (4.96 ypc), 25/319/2 receiving (12.76 ypr) on 36 targets - 14.6 touches per gameAnd consider what they did with those touches. Bush had 557 total yards and 6 TDs over that 5 game span, better on both counts than Deuce's 532/4, despite the fact that Bush had so many fewer touches.

Between them, you are projecting 480 carries. Between them, they only ran 399 times last season. That is a massive 20% increase in rushing attempts.You point out as partial justification that the Saints favored the run more over those 5 games cited above. But look at the schedule and results:
