He finds a way to put himself on the bench because he is not durable. I dont think he will ever be. He is a good running back but this will continue to be his downfall. PT and possibly Sproles are the only possible everydown capable backs we have. In this respect I think Ingram has a long way to go.

I was actually surprised how well Ingram was catching the ball when put into that position last season, and I do think that he has the potential to be an "every-down" RB. I know he has had his share of injuries, but what happened last season was mostly bad luck and I think with the right conditioning program he can work to improve on his durability in order to become more reliable.

The fact that SP was so high on him has me believing that this kid is the real deal, and once he learns to adjust his playing style to how the game is played at the NFL level (i.e. having patience to wait for the blocks to develop), he'll be a really impressive weapon in the Saints' offense for years to come.

Nice to get a bit of good news from the Saints for a change. Ivory is pretty good when hes on the field. His biggest challenge will be staying healthy.
Stay healthy my friend!
