2014: Who will lead the Saints in rushing?

amazin15 · 03-25-2014, 02:16 PM

I'd like to see Ingram run the way he did in the playoffs. If he can do that, I can see him getting 15-20 carries with Robinson getting about 10-12 and Pierre being the 3rd down back and in passing situations (i.e. 2 min drill, if we're down late.)

Im more concerned about who is going to be the short/goaline back. We need to get better at punching a hole in thr defensive line and regaualy getting them short yards. I do not like seeing Brees end up taking unnecessary hit when he does it.

I have a hard time answering this until we get a stud C, but out of the 3 I like Robinson, Cadet has shown me nothing and with Sproles traded I would love to get another back in the draft.

If SP sticks to his stupid ways of not recognizing the talent he has in Robinson, I guess we'll be stuck with watching the two yard wonder all year.

Khiry - 850
Mark - 575
Pierre - 450
Lorig - 100

love it lets not forget our new full back.

I went with Khiry because I'm usually wrong all the time, it will be ingram because he will get most of carries and Khiry will be in mop up rolle.

And by this post it will be Khiry

I love Ingram. If healthy, he can get the job done. But, Robinson is a more dynamic back. While I love Thomas as well, I fear his return will just continue the horrible one play per back rotation. If the Saints truly want a balanced attack, hand the ball off to Robinson/Ingran and take them out when they raise their hand. Otherwise, it's just lip service and more of the same.
