I want to see Ingram succeed just as much as anybody else here, but how long do you continue to pound him into the line for 2-yard gainers when you've got a Pierre Thomas sitting around getting 7 or 8 carries a game?

I am not trying to be a complainer, but it's pretty obvious who the best running back on the team is. I wanna see what PT can do with a workload like he had in 2009.

This running by committee has always been the case. I am as much of a fan of the run PT until he cant breath strategy as you are but he had the same amount of work, got the same amount of carries, yards, as now...... The real problems with running the rock are as follows....

- You gotta want to do it..... You can tell when the Saints have commited to the run because they run the running plays back, to back, to back.... I only saw a back to back running play one time today

- Mark Ingram is not as good as Mike Bell was at ( taking the lowest amount of spell carries and getting the MAX out of them. Big runs, breakaway runs, etc)

- There aren't enough carries for him to get his traditional 2 yrds per carry the entire game....
