Popeye

That goal line stuff has to have some negative repercussions for Ingram. It looked like Brees talked Payton into going for it, so someone will have to fall on the sword. When I saw that Ingram was the deep back, I started hoping for a pass play!

I haven't seen Ingram do any great things as an "inside runner", Thomas, and even Sproles, runs better between the tackles than Ingram does. It's not the line's fault; Thomas runs behind the same line. Ingram's the only back (Saints) over the last couple of years that has a consistent sub-four yards per carry. I don't know, it is definitely frustrating to watch him. For the money, he should be a lot more productive. I can see Sproles starting to maybe tail off this year as he's getting up in age for a RB. Hopefully Cadet or Robinson can get some work in. I know people are worried about those two holding on to the ball, but they can't do any worse than Ingram. Based on pre-season efforts, Robinson at least deserves some touches that Ingram might otherwise get.

You know, I would like to see Pierre get 250+ carries this season. He's tougher'n a boot. That would fix any running game issues IMO.

I aim to misbehave
