Comparing any NFL player's screen talents to Pierre Thomas is useless. He's the best in the entire NFL. |

80 yards were gained by Ingram, Robinson and PT. Just my opinion but I think they would've gained a lot more if they'd stayed in for 4 quarters behind the starting Oline. Cadet also had 31 more yards. I think one of the other backs would've gotten those yards in a regular season game. (assuming Cadet wasn't activated) By comparison, we've averaged... 92.1 yards last season 98.6 in 2012 132.9 in 2011 94.9 in 2010 131.6 in 2009 99.6 in 2008 91.6 in 2007 110.1 in 2006 |

If we get 117 rushing yards a game this year, we'll be in really nice shape.

Re: RB by committee or RB by play?
I am a big believer in a primary back, and then roll backs. Part of the issue with the Saints is they currently do not have a proven primary back. Lets be honest, Deuce has never been replaced, he could do it all, with Reggie Bush being that change of pace and home run guy. Ingram was drafted with the intention of being that primary back, but for whatever reason that hasn't panned out, so thus we see the committee.

Re: RB by committee or RB by play?
While I'm the first to admit I've never been an ingram fan, I do believe he has decent hands. He actually caught a lot of passes at bama when he was given a chance. If he's going to be in the game he needs to be somewhat of a threat to catch. At the very least, he's as capable as anyone at catching a pass out in the flat or catching a short screen pass.
