He'd never last enugh games to become a 1,000 yard rusher, and fumbles would probably land him on the bench.

but ingram, doesnt really fit and he wasnt shy about saying he wasnt thrilled with his role in our offense. he feels that he could and should be an every down back, and i agree. so let him go somewhere else and do it. then maybe we can give ivory more money and keep him as well as thomas who i think comes due at the end of this year.
Doesn't fit? I disagree completely. If I had to pick a RB that doesn't fit this offense, Ivory would top that list.

Ingram never said he wasn't thrilled with his role, he said he thinks he can be an everydown RB in this league, meaning running, short yardage, receiving and 3rd down. And Ingram isn't making much money at all.

PT is signed thru 2014.

lol what do you think that means? it means he wants more touches and he wont get them on a 4 back offense. its not always the words they say, but more so what is implied.

I would be willing to trade ivory or cadet for a linebacker or 3rd rounder...

I think you're reading something that isn't there.

Here's the quote you're probably referring to...
Quote:

"I believe any way that the coaches need me to contribute in this offense, that's what I'm going to do and that's what I'm happy to do," Ingram said. "In my eyes, I've always thought that I'm an every-down back, an all-purpose back, a guy who can run inside, a guy who can run outside, a guy who can run routes and catch the ball out of the backfield and pick up yards for you, and a pass protector. I don't label myself as a short yardage back or a power back. I think I'm an all-purpose back that can play for you on every down no matter what it is."

And from that you got he's unhappy with his role in this offense? Thats a stretch.

The Lions have been said to be on the phone trying to trade for a back, we have 5? Just saying?

NFL Draft Zone – Detroit needs to be on the phone with New Orleans, NOW

Blasphemy!

Cadet is looking good again, I am liking this kid

Any running back traded to Detroit could come back to haunt the Saint's in the future. Nevertheless I love Cadet and think he will be an every down back in the future, if you can get a 3rd for Ivory I'd jump all over it considering allhe does is fumble and get hurt.

They will pick up Hightower now he has been cut is my guess

No way in hell we are trading Pierre. Chris Ivory? Sure, just give us a nice draft pick.
