So Payton finally gets his zone blocking scheme fully installed and you guys want to trade Ingram?

ZBS, I can't help but think this is a major reason why Ingram looks so much more decisive. I'm sure its a combo of several things, but the ZBS is what he thrived in at Alabama. It has to be more comfortable for him I'd think.

Also a major reason Payton drafted Ingram in the first place. I'm sure he salivated over the success Houston had with a slightly above average RB (Foster).

He just picked the RB before he changed the system. NO problem - 3 years later we have the right pieces to run it and Drew Brees doesn't have to shoulder so much of the load anymore.

Ingram looked real fast and explosive. I already thought he was our fastest back by a step but now he seems to be much faster than PT or Robinson.
