Ingram and Cadet

What I liked is the interview after. Yes he talked about god( they all seem to do that), but what I liked was his manners. "yes sir". To me that stands out, that's the kind of players you want. If he makes the team or not, I do have respect for the young man.

Sorta like Mili-Vanili. Okay. I'm sorry. Somebody such punch my face for that one.

Why is everyone hating on Ivory the dudes a beast ! He will be on the Saints 53 roster you can gurantee that... Cadet is good catchin coming out the backfield but so is Pierre and Sproles .... so all you Ivory haters jus need to quit...

I am not hate'n..I merely pointed out the fact that he did diddly poo last night. Is what it is.

Cadet was 1/8 of an inch away from being tackled multiple times. Let's see what he can do next week and see if we can get some consistency out of him. That has been Ivory's down fall.........he had problems fumbling early. Then he has had injury issues that just continue to hamper him.

I think Cadet is more comparable to Sproles running style than Ivorys. Ivory is a bruiser that runs hard up the middle punishing defensive lines but does not have a lot of quick moves and receiving abilities.Cadet seems to be better out of the backfield with short passes and likes to juke and use his speed to his advantage. Two completely different kinds of backs at this point. I want to see how well Cadet can run up the middle. He is definitely a keeper though and if cuts were today I would keep him over Ivory given his injury history. No way Cadet clears wires.

I think that had more to do with the play of the Oline than anything seeing as both he and Ivory were having problems in that area.

Guys Im by no means saying Cadet will make your roster in New Orleans but watching him at App State I knew he would wind up some where. I am not a ASU Homer I know Cadet is from a small school, very few care about or write off as being small. But what I have noticed about the New Orleans coaching staff is that they find a way to make players from smaller schools fit in thier system. And its fun to root for them. While at ASU Cadet showed a very very explosive first 2-3 steps, incredible cut back ability, and was fearless in kik returning and in space he was incredible. The NO coaching staff used his skills like I have never seen before. He can take it to the edge and run north to south and can catch like I had never seen at ASU. Too bad our coaches didnt know how to use him. Will he make it maybe maybe not, but his heart is in it. Good luck to you guys this year. And I hope Cadet makes your roster. Either way at least the practice squad.
