In 2012, no Payton. I think we'll see a different Ingram this year. The one Payton envisioned when we drafted him. |

Re: Mark Ingram Is Most Important Saints RB To Saints 2013 Success
When players are made to do things outside of what they excelled at in college it often equals failure. The NFL loves to do this...hey let's see what happens if we make a RB who was not a north south runner fill that roll.
I understand sometimes they have to do it but when there is a better viable option it makes no sense. Use them to their strengths as often as you can. That's what really bothered me about last season. We didn't have the OL or RB to do that consistently but they did it anyway. |

I don't know if he is a bust or not, but they have to give him a full opportunity to be successful, in my opin. Then if he fails it is what it is. |

Wrong! Sean Payton is the most important.
