The notion that all of a sudden the backfield isn't so crowded is mularkey. It didn't matter that we had 4 or 5 RB's because we only used 3 at a time anyway, and we could have used them much better than we did. You're gonna see the same ole 3.9 yards per carry from Ingram and if he doesn't get hurt (crossing my fingers) PT will be the workhorse with Sproles doing what he does. If PT gets hurt, we're SOL cause Ivory's gone. Unless we've got another undrafted gem at the RB position we won't make the playoffs with a tandem of Ingram and Sproles, and if we somehow do, it'll be 1 and done. Not trying to be a downer but we've seen this before.
We haven't seen this before. What are you talking about?

I believe he's referring to the year that we went to Seattle without a good running game due to injuries.

Ingram and Sproles weren't even on the team yet.

I was referring to the comment " We've seen this before", not the people playing the RB position. Which you're absolutely right those two guys weren't on the team. Lack of quality depth at RB position cost us in that game played in Seattle Jan. 8th, 2011 regardless of who was playing the position or should I say not playing due to injury.
