Re: Mark ingram and running game
In honesty I think we have 1 too many rb.'s. If I would trade 1 it would be Sproles, I like Sproles but like Bush he is getting less effective in schemes. He is still a good player but I would trade him. We could use the picks and get players we are thin at a certain position. Between PT, Ingram, and Robinson our backfield would still be stout. I just feel that being overcrowded has hurt us more than it has helped. Another deep threat stud reciever to go along with Stills could ease a lot of pain.

Re: Mark ingram and running game
Just when I was longing for the smash mouth rushing days of Deuce in the back field. MAN did I get a warm fuzzy chuckle listening to Eagles fans cringe at Ingram gashing their D. I have renewed faith this team can be more than just a 'pass first' type team! Love it!

Re: Mark ingram and running game
Who would think we would come out knocking heads and shoving the ball down da eagles face. Very stoked about this.

Re: Mark ingram and running game
My take is that right now, with Ingram running the rock consistently... we are a much better team than we were in prior weeks, especially on the road. Pierre Thomas not playing may have been a blessing in disguise.
The problem with saying this though is that Pierre Thomas is an amazing football player, and there's no point in getting rid of amazing football players... especially when they contribute something vital to your team. Sean Payton needs take a big long look at the offense, figure out how to properly utilize both Ingram and Thomas in a way in which Ingram can get consistent carries and still allow Thomas to be effective in the screen game. One thing that would make this much easier to accomplish is if Ingram became a larger threat in the passing game, as I think the way that we switch Ingram and Thomas in and out makes our offense somewhat predictable in what we are doing. Also I think the backs need bigger chunks of play time instead of switching in and out repeatedly. Several different changes that probably need to occur but all in all a different formula is needed. |

If the Texans played the Jaguars more they would eventually beat them. If rhythm was a requirement First Qtr. rushing stats would be horrible. |

Think that we over-substitute at times, got too many moving pieces. The idea is to keep people fresh and get mismatches... but it has some unintended consequences. |
