RB (4) 41 - Alvin Kamara, 14 - Mark Ingram, 34 - Tony Jones Jr., 33 - Abram Smith (UDFA 2022), 24 - Dwayne Washington (FA 2022), 28 - Devine Ozigbo (FA 2022)

My hot take here - Abram Smith will leap frog Jones Jr & challenge the vet (MI) for snaps at the start of the regular season.

I agree with Smith leapfrogging Jones Jr., he’s that one guy every training camp/preseason that lights it up but when the regular season starts they’re found lacking

I’m worried that if he doesn’t step up we have a BIG problem. Wouldn’t be surprised to see a signing after final cuts or even a trade for someone. JMO.

Abram Smith was also an exceptional collegiate linebacker, believe he makes Dwayne Washington expendable from the kick coverage angle...

That said, anything he gives us in rushing is lagniappe; sure Saints FO, Coaches, Scouting know they scored a coup in signing him as an UDRFA...

Guess that makes the Saints not signing very cap friendly contracts in Sony Michel and/or Darrel Williams, especially Williams, that much more puzzling...

Know many in Saints locker room have a lot of time, friendship invested in Ingram, but what does he have left in the tank?!? I've not seen it...

And then of course is the expected suspension of Alvin Kamara for the Las Vegas Meltdown he had, chasing down a man with fellow NFLers on a beat down...

Mark averaged almost 4 ypc for us in 2021 behind a below-average offensive line. For the games I saw, he still has a bit left in the tank.

But yeah, we could use another proven/younger RB added to the roster.

I really thought Darrell Williams would be a good "fit" in this offense.

I don't think we'll see Taysom with the team in full contact for several months.

That injury (Lisfranc) takes months to rehab and recover. He's a likely candidate for PUP to start the season.

One has to consider that despite his age, he does not have as many miles as other RBs . It took him three years to learn the position, and then split time at the position. He's got at least one good year left in him.

Speaking of which, Williams career YPC is under 4.

Ingram definitely has the mileage on him, just not the production; and it took him the whole of his rookie contract, five seasons, to learn what Sean wanted from him...

That said, after all that development, felt the Saints would've been absolutely stupid not to extend him to recoup the investment, which he validated that extension...

Darrel Williams had less than 100 RuAtt in his first three seasons buried on the KC depth chart; however, he averaged 4.3 RuYd/Att that third season...

In his 4th season, as a reserve higher on the depth chart, he started 7 games, averaged 3.9 RuYd/Att, 558 RuYds, 6 RuTds; plus 47 Rec, 452 ReYds, with 2 ReTds...

So Williams was trending in the right direction and would have been a solid No.3 RB for us especially when Mark Ingram starts to show his age and mileage...
