Re: Healthy Mark Ingram is poised to have best season yet with New Orleans Saints
 

Ingram is far more awesome than fair weather, disloyal whiney fans could ever be. Period.

Some of you should move to Atlanta. You're a disgrace as a fan. Take up basketweaving or knitting Alice, because real men aren't as disloyal as some of YOU are.

Chances are we got J Jenkins at were we were picking anyway. As far as Ivory if it comes to a ground and pound game or 4th and goal I would trust the 4th stringer you refered to more than any other back we have now even PT who I love!!

Re: Healthy Mark Ingram is poised to have best season yet with New Orleans Saints
 

He could be the "worst" RB on the roster, still be an awesome contributor and have a better year than most RBs in the league. A great offense can do that with running back committees. He's never going to be a Peterson because that's not how we roll. Teams with Petersons rarely, if ever make it to the big one.

Re: Healthy Mark Ingram is poised to have best season yet with New Orleans Saints
 

Ingram is in no way shape or form a bust!

I have been as hard on the guy as much as anyone, and I will admit it is because of one play: 4th & goal against the Packers on opening night.

Looking back, I blame Payton and Brees for that play not working.

Payton for not telling Brees that if the Packers stack the line, change the play;
Brees for NOT changing the play when it was obvious to Helen Keller & Ray Charles that Green Bay KNEW it was going to be a run!

Re: Healthy Mark Ingram is poised to have best season yet with New Orleans Saints
 

Stand by my statement - this is year 3 and the production you'd expect from a running back drafted in the first round, especially one we moved back and spent exchanged first round picks PLUS a second to get...

It's important to separate the reasons for the bust - and, as I've posted before, I don't lay all the blame at the feet of Ingram...

But you can't blame it on the OLine when Ivory did have success and Pierre Thomas has also had success...

And as great players do, it's up to Ingram to adjust his game for his success which will be the team's success...

Re: Healthy Mark Ingram is poised to have best season yet with New Orleans Saints
 

If he's on IR, he can't run the ball.

Ivory can't be trusted to stay healthy.

Re: Healthy Mark Ingram is poised to have best season yet with New Orleans Saints
 

Oh so this is his breakout year... they say you find out how good ya Draft
Pick will be n his 3rd year .... lets hope he does something ... I've haven't been impressed yet...

Re: Healthy Mark Ingram is poised to have best season yet with New Orleans Saints
 

So, first year he gets hurt...that sucks, but he hasn't spent nearly as much time on IR as IRvory....as for last...the team didn't have a coach, we had the absolute worst play calling (every time he hit the turf everyone knew it was a run), a historically disgusting defence that always put us behind (which in turn lead to us throwing every down), no RB coach for 6 games and he still lead the team in rushing. I FIND YOUR LACK OF FAITH DISTURBING

Re: Healthy Mark Ingram is poised to have best season yet with New Orleans Saints
 

I remember his first season before he got hurt. He was making some great plays down the stretch. Jumping over people, pushing linemen in the back to scrap a couple more yards. I hope he gets back to that and I think he will. Payton is going to give him a lot more opportunities.
