Ingram not going to play
 

Looks like Ivory might get a chance to play.

Mark Ingram not expected to play Sunday | ProFootballTalk

Good Deal! Let Ivory get his feet wet against a not so good defense!

Next man up...and he's a pretty good one.

Good move let Mark rest and just run Ivory if we need to..

I dont think this is surprise for most of us. Heck I think a lot of have been calling for this to happen for this week.

The big question.... Will Ivory play!??!?!?!

So who gets the axe? Arrington, Herring, Hall?

I could see Hall, Collins has been playing better and most teams don't carry 2 FBs each week

Bad news for Hall, but it will be one of those "You're cut, but leave your stuff in your locker. We'll call you Monday." Loomis/Payton love that move.

The good news is this means more touches for PT. I really think he has been underutilized

I don't think we activate anyone. Remember, we're playing the lambs. They have scored less all season than we did last game. Let Ingram rest, give PT the ball.

The worst thing that could happen is that we wind up running Jed Collins at tail back, forcing Brees to play 4WR or 3WR/TE sets. Jed might lead the league in rushing by the end of the game, given how well the Lambs' secondary tackles!

Whether or not Ingram and Ivory play is irrelevant. Thomas and Sproles can carry the load.

I don't think anyone gets the axe. I think we have 1-2 spots open right now. Kruetz and Barron were let go. No one signed since if I am correct?

We got 99 problems if Ivory comes back and plays strong...

No open spots. Humphrey took Canfields spot who had taken Kreutz spot.
Humber took Barron spot so to activate Ivory someone has to be cut.

The one thing about having a back return from a long absence is hoping that he remembers how to protect the ball. As long as we don't give them (Rams) the ball we will be fine with whomever's back there.

The Saints have so many options its rediculious. I really can't see how we lose in the first place. Sean Payton will get it together and we'll have another great game. I can see Thomas getting the nod because sproles started last game. TWO DATT !!!

Heavy dose of Pierre and sproles both running and receiving, let ivory get about 10-12 carries and he should get comfortable coming back from injury. I wanna see the defence force some more turnovers, I was calling for a pick 6 last week and Leigh Torrance of all people answered the call!

We don't need Ingram against the Rams if we don't beat the piss out them like we did the Colt's I'm going to mad as hell. We should be able to beat the Rams if we just had Ivory the Rams are rank I think 30 against the run I could be wrong but it's not good.

S*&t bring back Lyndell Hamilton he can get 50 yards against the Rams.

I don't know. I wish Ingram was playing and healthy in this one. I was kinda excited to see what he could do against these guys.

Sit down get well come back 100%. Chris will do a great job.

...but losing won't be one of them.

Well, about the roster spot... I would definitely like for the Saints to keep Hall around, because he has been instrumental in couple of the special team coverages by forcing the returner to cut back towards the main force at the pivotal point. And his ST play was why they brought him over in the first place - not his FB play.

On the other hand, Herring was a big disappointment when he was healthy and playing, so I wouldn't cry over giving Ivory his spot.

Trade Bait!!
