Re: 2013 Running Game concerns
My concerns are numerous.
Swapping out a LT DLP back slid a little last year.....I don't know if teams game planned against him or not Our current RT is subpar in my book and needs to be replaced All of our RTs are unproven and have question marks We have a new O-line coach We have a new RB coach Our two best backs are getting older Our "feature" back has been under achieving Ivory is no longer a Saint But we do have coach Payton back so I'm not worried. |

Re: 2013 Running Game concerns
As great as a mastermind of the offense SP is, seeing ingram get a running play up the middle, get smacked at the line and then come to sideline after one play annoys the hell out of me
Like its been said, make a decision and stick with it, sure RB rotation is good but not every damn play! |

I predict that no matter how productive Ingram is or is not we will have him stuffed down our throats because he is a number one pick. so somethings wont change. PT will pace the side lines wonder why he is not in while still being the saints best back that fits this offense. maybe they save him for that playoff push? nah do not buy it Ingram will once again be wasted because the saints did not address the OL to fit his style. His only hope is to get involved in the passing game and keep teams from stacking the box The saints will once again pass for first on third short more than they will convert with the run game |

On a 4th and inches I sure will miss Ivory who could turn it in to a positive with the D knowing who gets it.

But I agree, with our offense, we need five (5) backs on the active roster - just in case a Seattle Scenario presents itself, again...

Ingram needs to check his "tells" and work to gain the coaches' confidence in the passing game to be worthy of his first round pick - but I believe he's got the talent to do it... I see comments about how injury-prone Ivory was and yet he did some of the toughest running - hoping Ingram can pick up the slack and bust some of those 20+yard back breaking runs... |
It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...

Re: 2013 Running Game concerns
I'm not really concerned about our RB rotation. I think with the loss of Ivory we are fine. The offensive line is the only question mark for me. Especially the tackles.
