I can see you get VERY into defending your arguments . Hey, it's cool. If feel that strongly about it I'm on board. Even though I can make a superhero out of almost any college player by making snips. Hehe..

I was only trying to make a joke because around here has been a freakin morgue the last couple days even though the Saints are 2-0, yeah I said it the Saints are 2-0 by beating 2 divisional opponents. You would have sworn the Saints were 0-2 and lost both games by 50 points.

Back to topic at hand, I never really cared for Ingram (any Alabama running back for that matter) when he came out because Alabama had 5 4-5 star recruits blocking for him. If you remember the Cowboys with Emmitt Smith in the early 90s its basically the same thing. I'm an U of Houston alum so I don't care about LSU or the SEC

so anything else?

When BleacherReport also chimes in as the voice of reason ... you know you've got a problem to fix!

BR was bought out by TBS Time Warner and hired some very good writers. Murf Baldwin has written some very good articles.

They are infinitely better than they used to be.


And the only thing I don't like about the article is his failure to mention PT's durability.

With that said, Khiry Robinson is the guy who most closely resembles PT in size and skill set. I hope we see more of him this year.

I "may" have found the answer.. Surprised the author didn't dig just a little deeper.

Ingram's Left Foot buckeling


Left foot Turf Toe/ Sprain
Posted Dec. 18, 2011
The Saints have placed Ingram on injured reserve, ending his season. Ingram, who won the 2009 Heisman Trophy at Alabama, missed New Orleans' last four games because of a sprained toe on his left foot. Coach Sean Payton says the injury got worse during practice last week and basically ensured he wouldn't be able to catch up in time to contribute this season. Ingram carried 122 times for 474 yards and five touchdowns this season. His longest run was a 35-yard touchdown against the New York Giants on Nov. 28.
