Why risk Ingram fumbling with a bum hand when Robinson is holding his own? Cadet, Robinson, PT seem to be doing just fine without Mark, no need to risk a crucial fumble or re-injury

Feed Robinson & PT. Let Ingram get to a full 100%. We are gashing opposing defenses with the run with just those 2, and I'm honestly good with letting Cadet be on special teams completely. I'd much rather have PT or PT or PT out there on 3rd down than Cadet.

And to pile on: Brees needs to find "game-manager" mode. Sorry, it is what it is. 40+ passes a game will not do with the offensive line and these RBs. Breesus & Payton nearly lost that game yesterday with those 2 idiotic INTs. Our defense essentially only gave up 17 points, but 31 got hung on them due to our "high-powered & efficient" offense.

Aside from 2-minute drills & 4th quarter comeback mode, Breesus needs to find his game-manager animal. Our running game has shown it can carry this team without Breesus throwing Pick 6's and INTs in the end zone or on our side of the field. Love Brees & Payton to death, but you gotta play to your strengths.

Well I don't think they even activate Mark unless they think he's back to 100% and that he's not a fumbling risk or in danger of re-injuring the hand.

I think the only way they activate him is if they're 100% convinced that he's 100% healthy.

I don't know about that. They let stills play in preseason and he aggravated his injury. Now he is scared to take a hit. I hope they will be smarter with Ingram.

Re: Graham & Ingram Possibly Back After Bye

does little for our OL issues. Does little for our pass rush issues either

but good to have them back if they are ready to go

Ingram will probably have a glove with some extra padding an should be fine.

No way Ingram is ready to come back. We will be fine the next couple of games without rushing him back.

Apparently you've never broken your hand... A glove with extra padding will do nothing when it get's hit or when he has to use pressure to grip the ball...

Especially running between the tackles with helmets diving all over the place, one helmet to Ingram's hand and it would cause a fumble and re-injury

Don't bring him back until he's 100%

Re: Graham & Ingram Possibly Back After Bye

Why is the world would we bring Ingram back early? We looked good with the trio yesterday, and let's be honest here. Ingram has improved, but it's not like we are missing a Lynch or Peterson.

Plus, it will be nice to have a fresh RB for the second half of the season
