His two TD's were pretty impressive, one ankle breaking TD where he was showing great balance and north and south running

His other TD just showing the will and determination to push his way into the endzone over a veteran LB

Sorry, don't agree. Ivory will be a beast though when he gets back.

Ivory has the skills without a doubt. But, he wasn't healthy in college or in his first year as a pro. The position is the most brutal in the game. I've never known of a runningback not healthy in college and not healthy in whatever time in the pros to suddenly become durable. I hope somehow he can, but the odds are heavily against it. Ingram has star potential. If Payton will give him 20 touches a game, instead of rotating the backs on EVERY play, and allow the guy to get a rythm, the Saints offense will be unstoppable.

When exactly is that?

I'm not saying ivory isn't a beast because he's an animal, But until he comes back and shows he can stay healthy I think Ingram is going to do great things, we are certainly lucky to have the talent at RB we have now

Ivory obviously impressed fans but some are getting carried away with their expectations. He has shown one dimension to his running game. It's an impressive dimension sure, but Ingram has shown power and speed and balance in college and so far in the two preseason games.

I'm with you Dizzle. I think that Ingram is going to be very good.
