There are optimists and there are pessimists.

The only place I did not see improvement from was Ingram. What does he have Speed (No) Power (NO) so what is it that the Saints coaches see in this guy?

He looked much improved to me.
He has good speed, good power.

How about that Robinson? He looks like a Pistol!

I hope he gets a chance to play with the 1st's. I'd like to see what he can do.

That worried me too. In the first two preseason games, he's gotten 12 attempts for 42 yards, that's only 3.5 yards per carry.

He may be tearing it up in practice. Maybe the coaches see something we don't.

There you go. Danno needs to look at the numbers they don't lie. More ot the same from Ingram close to his average for the whole of last season.

Number don't lie, if you know how to read numbers.

But Sean and I could both be wrong. We aren't perfect.

His "average for the whole of last season" do not tell his story on the season at all. His last 8 games (when he finally felt good on his knee) he averaged 4.2 ypc, and he looked much more comfortable. The coaches obviously noticed this, seeing as how he touched the ball twice as many times as he did in the first 8 games. Do your research or do it better.

Ingram is a Practice Pro-Bowler. And Robinson is another Chris Ivory that will do well in real games, then get traded because we put our eggs in some other basket.
