Mark Ingram finds Saints’ moves “shocking”

The only move that is really "shocking" is the Sproles release. He still has lots of tread on the tires. And there are no RBs in the draft that are near as good as he is doing what he does.

True Dat! I remember Randy Moss groveling when he was cut from the Pats.

The Pats nurture an environment whereby players want to play there. I'd like to think the Saints have modeled themselves in that same light.

I don't know about that. I didn't feel he dropped off much but there was just something missing though.

I am ok parting ways with him. I think its a good time to move on before its to late.

I could have pulled several quotes from this article to make a "headline" from...

I'm excited...
Exciting time in my career...
Ready to step up....
This is the business side of the NFL...

Silly-ness.

You can be shocked but not surprised at the same time.

There is nothing wrong with being shocked over what has happened. The difference is Graham saying he was disappointed and the irony that he is at least partially responsible for the roster moves.

Careful, Ingram, or his proxy, went to the University of Alabama...

I was excited to have Ingram come on strong later last year, BUT, I am not sold on him yet. He should take this years moves to heart.
