Ingram - rumors along with everything else

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; He is also trucking with his signature stiff arm. Not many opportunities to do that last year. Get him to the edges, get him screens, passes and he's going to be effective....

Preseason fine, 17 point lead fine.... PT no longer on the team, sure.... Other than that Ingram gets no screen over PT.

Also, he has to get himself to the edges.... He hasn't been able.

When Ingram's in the game opponents should be expecting anything. He can do just fine in the screen game. Comparing him with Pierre is unfair. PT may be the absolute best screen pass RB in the entire NFL. That doesn't mean we shouldn't throw screens to Ingram.

And getting outside hasn't been an Ingram problem as much as it was an O-line problem. Payton stated its one of the things he wanted to improve upon.

No defense has ever had to guess what was coming out of our backfield in a few years..... It doesn't work that way with RB by a committee of specialists.

Reggie may have been the last to leave a defense guessing and that is because he didn't know which way he was going to go either.

With Reggie the only question was east or west.

PT is a complete RB. Defenses must prepare for anything.
Ingram will be used more like PT this year. So far he looks good at it.
Sproles is a scat back, so the draws and pitches will keep defenses guessing.

I think Cadet offers a lot of what Sproles can offer, skill set wise.

Robinson looks like he can become a complete back pretty soon. He looks to be able to do everything well. Thats why I don't get the Ivory comparisons at all. Robinson is way more versatile than Ivory ever was.

Robinson, to me looks like a stronger faster PT, thats dangerous!

Exactly, on the screen pass vs texans, they sent like 5 rushers to get brees and could tell the last thing they expected was a screen to ingram and it worked like a dream

Re: Interesting RUMOR: Giants-Saints in Ingram trade talks - RUMOR

If its a possibility somebody, anybody wants Mark Ingram I say make the trade and good grief don't give them one sec to change there minds. i just have never like him or his 2 yrd and fall down self. i have always liked Thomas the guy may not be the best but i think he is our best back that we got on the roster. The guy runs hard and productive when he does and is a excellent pass catcher. I just don't understand why we don't give him the ball more

You somewhat made my point, now when S. Jack, A. Pete, Charles, Lynch who are every down backs what do you know about what is coming at you?

Defenses may not know exactly what we are doing but they can narrow it down a little.
