The Running Game

Well the Saints got 1000+ and 700+ from Ingram/Kamara in 2017, so it’s sure possible Rugs! Both backs cleared over 1500’total yards too. The best Saints have gotten out of Murray so far is about 900 total I believe. So, passing or rushing, it would be nice getting more Murray touches. Of course, Hill took some of those “backfield yards” away from them too.

I think the wild card is Hill, he wasn't around when we had Ingram. Things are different with Hill.....Good, bad or indifferent the addition of Hill has changed the offense. No doubt in my mind without Hill we could easily achieve similar results (with Murray/Alvin) as the Alvin/Mark show. But I just don't see it......It's a crowded house and Payton is the puppet master pulling the strings.
