NEW Mark Ingram thread (post Dallas)

[Jack Vegas]

Ingram is a dump truck, PT is a dependable sedan, Sproles is a race car. They're all different so comparing them to each other is stupid. We're going to need all of them playing well if we're going to win the Superbowl or anything else. End of discussion.

Let's hope this continues for especially against the 49'ers

One thing I really loved was that:
1.) We split the carries between both PT & MI by quarters
2.) We also ran screen plays with MI, so that we proved that we wont change the offense based on the players

If Sean Payton continues to run the offense the same regardless of who is in the backfield, its gonna cause alot of sleepless nights for defensive coordinators.

It has been so hard to watch him struggle in games after being such a training camp hero. I'm really glad that he has shown some glimmer of the potential that we drafted him for. That said, one game does not a great player make. Dallas wasn't ready for the looks that we brought him in, San Francisco will be, and Seattle will be later on. Tonight he proved to me that he has the talent that I was doubting; next week, and for the rest of the season, he still has to prove that he really belongs here.

I've always supported this guy but I'll admit I was a little angry that K-Rob wasn't active. All I can say is I was hoping he'd get the ball for every run play. The man was pissed off and running with passion! Good job Mark!!!

Ive been with MI from the begining. Then got wise. 49ers game wont prove anything to me, even if he runs for 200 yards. That will not happen though SF will stuff him for no yards and waste plays for the saints running him. I want to see MI make 100 yds per a game , consistantly, till the end of the season and then next year.
I want to see MI make the 3rd and 4th downs consistantly 80% of the time.
Pretty simple for a great RB.

Great game, now lets see if this was a propitious opportunity or a coming out party. I'll eat crow on what I said about him when I see some consistency. Congratulation on your 1st 100 yard game. Go saints

Props to Ingram for showing up today. Though he was far from being the only one, it was nice to see him do something. I had some rather unpleasant feelings brewing after the drop, and especially after he spiked the ball and got the penalty after running through a gaping hole, as if he had done something great. But he picked it up, and that was a good sign.

I'm not about to take back anything I've previously said, as it has been more than fair. I don't hate him, and as he is a member of the Saints, I always pull for him to do well. But he has been disappointing and, at times, downright awful. I would like to see more positives before I even think about saying he's arrived, but tonight he played well and I'm glad for him.

Next week against the 40-whiners will the acid test for acid Ingram.

Not saying he has to rush for over a 100 yds, but if he can come close to Sunday night's performance against a good defense then I will be a believer as well.

Very true, he doesn't have to put up huge numbers in games like 49ers, we just need him to be effective

Look at PT vs bears, he had like what 35 yards rushing? but about 5 of those runs went for first downs and it opened up the passing game
