Which players are on the bubble?

1. Mark Ingram
The FO didn't pick up his option and he must be better than Tim Flanders or I could see him traded to a team with injury problems at RB.
2. Nick Toon for a fourth rd pick he has been given lots of chances . IMHO it is time to put up or shut up. Eleven players are competing for 5 spots Competing with some good players who could have more upside . He needs to have a stellar pre season to get a spot.
3. Joe Morgan needs to get back on the field . Injury concerns and playing time are the questions that he must answer. See above.
4. CBs someone is going to be odd man out . Eleven players and five spots. This is going to be exciting to watch . We might have a player traded from this deep group.
5. Always a player that surprises and takes a spot from a player that we thought would be safe . This FO has shown that they will keep the player that plays the best and has upside. More than a lot of teams positions are up for grabs to anyone that proves themselves.

Any thoughts,ideas,opinions?

This is definitely Joe's last go around. We all want him to succeed but he simply can't help us on the sideline or in the tub.

Ingram was statistically our best RB last year

4.9 yards per carry in the regular season and 5.2 in the post-season...

He also had a BIG FAT FUMBLE in the palyoffs that put us in a huge hole. We likely would have been able to win if not for that. Can't judge him on one play, but he can't keep that stuff up either.

What about kickers?

Will the Saints stay with Graham or go with Dimke(sp)?

Well, they both suck and Dimke is cheaper, so there you have it.
To make matters worse, here is what Hartley is going to cost us this year:
$1,010,400

Danno I really tried to like Ingram . He just hasn't panned out. It might be how we use him . He has failed repeatedly in clutch situations. I hope I am wrong but I don't think so
