New Orleans Saints Bolster Their Run Game; Sign Joe Banyard

This guy reminds me of Joique Bell.

I can't single out Ivory since every RB on our entire roster for the last 10 flippin' years seems to be injury prone.

Well we drafted a RB in the 4th a couple of yeas ago but Thomas beat him out as an UDFA. The best man will play.

If anyone leaves it would be Ivroy or Thomas. Thomas is the highest paid on the team and "middle aged" for a rb. Ivroy would be because of his injuries but he is so cheap. Maybe no FB? Use a TE on blacking situations?

I also think it is the Ingram situation that brought this about. This injury may be worst than thought. They are not going to tell us everything

Ingram has been a bust (to date). He reminds of early Bush in the way that we are always waiting to see something great. Thomas and Sproles are perfect in our system, Ivory would be good IF he could stay healthy. We are still looking for that great back.

I just don't see us carrying 5 RB's, especially since we have to hold roster spots for suspended players.
It's not a money issue- all four backs have reasonable contracts.
