New Orleans Saints 2013: 10 Things We Learned From OTAs

Danno · 06-20-2013, 08:23 AM

* Mark Ingram is third on the depth chart -- Excuse me, but isn’t he a former Heisman Trophy winner? The Saints traded Chris Ivory to the Jets to free up some room on the depth chart. Ingram has not shown he can shoulder the running load. Hopefully this year he can take the next step.

This writer is clueless. First off, Payton himself said pay no mind to depth charts in OTA's. He's looking at multiple players in different situations. Depth at OTA's is meaningless.

PT is the starter and that was never in doubt. PT would be the starter here over all but a handfull of RB's in the league.

Sproles is 2nd on the depth chart, but he's not really a true RB. He's a scat-back, wildcard type player.

Of course Ingram is 3rd if you count Sproles. He probably always will be with PT and Sproles on the roster.

Here's another thought... Chris IRvory would be 4th, or maybe 5th with the Robinson kid coming along. Maybe even 6th considering the improvements Cadet has made. That is assuming he'd stay off of IR.

And another boneheaded comment by this boob...

"The Saints traded Chris Ivory to the Jets to free up some room on the depth chart".

That is not why he was traded to the Jets.
