Lest we not forget about the TRUE BEAST here:

I love him as much as you guys, he is a beast. With that said if he can't get/stay healthy this year, his time as a Saint may be over. It's a shame, he is very talented but had similar health issues at Tiffin.

The RB coach needs to work his butt off preaching to go down and hit the sidelines after a 40 yard run...prolong that career..

Strato, I don't think that's gonna happen. he doesnt have any Reggie in him!!!

My point was serious...my brother had a kid on his pee wee league team that had to be taught to go down...he was just like Ivory except 12 years old..after pounding that in his head he got the idea..and they won the Pee Wee league Superbowl in the Cajun Dome in Lafayette...

Chris will learn...you can be a bruiser just be a smart one..

The running back position was decimated with injuries last year. We don't know how durable Ingram will be but he has stayed relatively healthy in college. Pt should still be the feature back to start.

The way it'll shake out is Ingram and Pt will split carries depending on who's got the hot hand. If one of our backs go down we will still have a powerful 1-2 punch. If we rotate them and keep them fresh we should have a very good running game. Let's not forget about Hamilton or that other kid who got hurt at TC last year. I don't remember his name but he ran well.

Great point, Rugby.

Then, next play, 3rd and 6, Ivory lines up behind Brees. Graham right, off-tackle, Meachem and Colston wide-outs.

As an opposing Linebacker; What the HELL you gonna call now, bud!!!????

Hamilton is gone...Bell is still here...P.T will get his touches...But Ingram providing he can pick up the blitz will be the main back....once we wear them down then we have many options..health is the key

Sadly I think Ivory is going to be a one hit wonder. Such a shame. Poor kid.

"True Beast"? Are you high??? lol

Sorry but Ivory has had one good (okay, decent) season (okay, semi-season) in his entire football career.

Let's not go anointing him or anything.
