Ivory for a 7th rounder?

frydaddy · 10-30-2012, 10:53 PM

NONE of the rb's have performed consistently this year. Unless you count consistently mediocre, that dubious distinction certainly fits ingram. I think ivory deserves a chance. Playing him won't do anything in terms of fixing the wet paper towel that is more commonly referred to as our defense, but he just might bring a little fire and life to the running game... And that's about the best we can hope for this year anyway, seeing some good individual effort on SOMEONE'S part.

Not a chance for me. We've been down the lack of RB depth road before. Unless we get some offer that actually gives us a benefit then why even bother. I wouldn't move him for less than a 5th and I don't think we'll get that.

3 Rd Pick-4th Rd Pick, anything less, take the keys away from Loomis until after the draft...

I hope they don't trade him for a 7th rounder. I don't think it would be worth it.

I do hope they give him a chance. I think it's time to change things up. What could it hurt? Are they worried about risking that .248 winning percentage?

With Ivory, it really depends on what the Saints plans are for him. His contract is up after this season, but is only going to be a restricted free agent in 2013. Because of the lack of opportunity, I seriously doubt Ivory wants to remain with the Saints. If the Saints have some master plan on using him, then get him some touches and keep him around. To me, I don't see that happening, so move him if you can and get a draft pick for next year. I mean seriously, already 7 games are over and not a single touch? To me that doesn't sound like he is in the plans, just being kept as an insurance policy. Move him for a draft pick if possible is my official take.

Guys, it's not HOW MANY fumbles Ivory has that put him in the coaches' doghouse, it's WHEN, WHERE and HOW he fumbles.

Well, they do have 5 RBs at the moment, so I guess they could get rid of one of them and still have good depth at the position.

To bad he couldn't play defense, might be worth trying.....probably couldn't be much worse. Explore all options.

TheOak · 11-01-2012, 09:00 AM

I bet he could power rush a QB.
