He had 2-3 in preseason and he did have 1 in the game he played alot of snaps its just off the record because the refs didn't see it in the game they noticed it in film study, when payton was asked about what he thought about KR the first thing he said was he needs to handle the ball better

Robinson had 2 fumbles in 1 preseason game and lost 1.

Ingram also lost a Fumble in preseason...

To say he has "horrible ball skills" on a fumble you have to go back and do a film study on to find is a little overboard.

I agree with AllSaints.. KR would have preformed just as well.

PT barely had 1/2 the yardage? LOL

Here is the item that has been omitted from your PT vs Ingram against Dallas observation.

Pierre Thomas
LE 2-11
LT 2-17
LG 2-0
ML 2-0
MR 5-35
RG 2-12
RT 1-6
RE 1-7

Mark Ingram
LE 0
LT 3-15
LG 1-4
ML 3-37
MR 5-79
RG 1-1
RT 1-4
RE 2-5

Ingram has 116 yards between ML/MR and that came after Sean Lee the MLB was out (one of the best MLBs in the league). You want to know what Mark Ingram had before Lee was injured? 1 Incomplete pass.

Maybe we can get something for him in a trade now. He's all about himself and I hate his immature dances on a 6 yard gain. Move him and I'll be happy.
I'm a Bama fan and wanted him to do well......but I just don't like him and his attitude. I prefer Lance Or Colston..........these men have style.

Ingram reflects

After rushing for a career-high 145 yards on just 14 carries in Sunday’s 49-17 romp against the Dallas Cowboys, Saints running back Mark Ingram admitted Wednesday that he played with more emotion than usual.

Maybe too much, he said.

Ingram, who missed five games with a toe injury and had 50 rushing yards in the three games he played, celebrated a 13-yard run in the second quarter by spinning the ball on the ground — drawing a 5-yard delay of game penalty.

“I always play with a lot of emotion, with a chip on my shoulder, but it just came out a little bit more Sunday,” he said. “The reason? Who knows? I was just feeling it, man, and it just came out.

“That’s how I play, with a lot of emotion and a lot of passion, and I just have to control it a little better so I don’t hurt the team and get us penalties or anything like that. I guess it did come out a little more than usual.”

Looks like he knew he went a little over the top with his emotions Sunday

That little ball spin he did was BS, should not have been a flag at all, nor did it cause a delay of game.

It's the new rule. Silly or not, he should know better.

He did more than that stupid ball spin, sure looked like he acted like he won the lottery after every 2 yard gain he had that night

Honestly, I'm not sure if I could contain my excitement in that situation. He's been called a bust by a lot of "fans" and was booed in that very game. I'd be in a hurry to prove myself to the fans and if I was on fire, I might've gotten carried away too.

I don't excuse his behavior but I understand why he was so animated in the game.
