Saints RB Mark Ingram doesn’t feel missing practices has put him behind

I wasn't crazy about the Saints drafting Ingram but he wears black and gold on sundays so I'm pulling for him big time. I think he could be our workhorse this year.

If the Saints hadn't have drafted Ingram, the sumbich would have taken this years 1st rd pick away anyway. So, in reality Ingram is a big bonus. Plus, he has all the skills. I have a feeling after this season, you won't be disappointed about his selection.

I don't doubt the skills he has but with the RBs we had on the roster and the ability of the Saints scouts and GM to find young good RBs I hade rather seen the pick spent on a LB or DE.

Our 1st pick was a DE and our 3rd pick was a LB.

And your point is? Offense was not the problem last year.

Ummm I think his point is that you said we should've drafted a DE or LB with our early picks....

...and we did

It was in the San Fran game. Five turnovers is too much to ask of any defense.

Very true

Only thing is our offense won us atleast 12 games last season, not to much to ask for the D to step up once in a while

Lining up a hurt FB at HB in the playoff game against Seattle after the 6th or 7th HB to get a carry late that season was a BIG problem. They had a chance to get a great back, Heisman Trophy winner, and a great guy late in the first round and they took it. It didn't pay off big last season, but he will be worthy of the choice.
