I have a feeling if Ingrim explodes this year or next year...and does good on the screens....Thomas may be on the trading block....I love Thomas but with up and coming players like Bell and Ivory, Thomas may end up a Cap causality in the next two years.

Pretty lousy article. It think the comparison is bad to begin with since they are colpletely different as football players.

Reggie actually looked good in their preseason game. Never played like that here. Still dont want him though.

He played like that against the Cards in the playoffs and San Fran his rookie year.

Reggie's goal-line scores always included a leap through the uprights. If Ingram gets-er-done without the flair, I'm okay with that, as he did on Saturday.

When bush was ON, he was a human highlight reel, and always good for a still shot in Sports Illustrated. Ingram seems to be a north-south runner still getting used to being hit by MEN, not man-boys as in college football.

Give me a healthy Chris Ivory in this mix and we're going places.

i watched the miami game replay this morning and bush looked rookie like again, he was okay, he did get some carries between the tackles and had holes realheavyd could have run through. and i did still see the reggie shuffle in space waisting precious seconds. and i saw him get toasted where he had to shake off the pounding hit.its a matter of hits/ time before he will go down. i don't wish it on him at all, i'll miss him to say the truth. he gave us hope when there seemed like there never would be hope in 06. i had to calm myself down when sproles dropped a couple of screens sat. nite. he will be just fine in bush's place.

This!

And I have to say it was great to hear the Fin fans start a "Reggie" chant in the pre-season game after all the bad taste the Henne-booying created around the fan-team relationship over there.

What I think Reggie will bring to that team is that crucial X-factor that St Thomas referred to... and that is hope. That team is in desperate need of something that would take it to the next level and maybe Reggie can be that for them... in a much similar fashion as he was to the Saints in '06.

Miami got a nice momentum boost with their "wildcat" plays few seasons a go, but that has died down almost completely with the departure of Ronnie Brown. Reggie's "dancing" is part of what makes him to possess that "star appeal," on which the Miami FO is probably relying on somewhat. That rookie Thomas is much more of a traditional north-south runner, so Reggie can afford to be more of an artist with his running game.

Nevertheless, I'm happy at how things are now... with Reggie leaving and the Saints adding Ingram and Sproles. The only thing I'm concerned about is who's going to carry the bats now that Reggie is gone??
