Unless my Uncle had none.....then I could understand the attraction.... Besides, that's my dads brother/sister... what do I care.

I have no criticism for ANY of the rookies last year regardless of when they were drafter... No Spring camp... No off season at all... It takes a little time to grow into a teams style of play etc..

The great thing about having Ingram is that Godell would have taken that pick for sure. So at least we have another top notch RB.

I agree. That really worked out for us.

Looking at it now we stole him considering we used this years first round pick on him, which we wouldnt have.

I love Ingram. He has all the skills. After being down to two guys off the street playing RB in the playoffs the year before, I understand the pick from an organizational standpoint. But, to put him in a pass happy offense that also features a runningback by committee approach, I don't think his skills will be maximized. He needs to get 20+ touches to be most effective. The Saints have a different back on the field almost every play. Who knows? That might change a little under Vitt.

Yep cruize, I really can't overstate how difficult it is as a RB to run cold. Every defense is different when you play them, and you never play a team enough to instantly feel what to do the next time.
Usually takes 5-20 failed runs to figure out how to move against any defense. Getting 1 touch every 10-15 plays? I can't even imagine how hard that is.
As a RB I want 3 runs in a row, because I know I'll make the 10 yards. I just have to find their weakness, figure out how to move against them, figure out how my OL is doing ( who is losing , who is winning ), get some one on ones and humiliate, and get my head strait to feel were to go.
Running cold you depend mostly on OL's ability to break obvious holes or luck, but once your in the secondary your still cold and probably won't last to long. Especially as a rookie.

	Saints proved that pigs could fly in 2009. Now its time for another miracle SuperBowl and go where no pig has gone before.
