I believe this is Ingrams year. A health Colston and Graham plus Cooks means teams can't stack the box anymore. No more excuses. Plus it's his contract year. I predict 1200+yds.

How many rush attempts? What's the yards per carry?

The 1200 number doesn't make much sense without a context. As I stated in my previous post, the last 1000 rusher for the Saints was Deuce with 1057 yards on 241 attempts. No one has had more than 175 attempts since. That's barely 11 rush attempts per game.

So what exactly is going to change about the Saints' offfense to facilitate this? The shuffling of personnel is actually a part of the schematic framework of the offense.

I know there are folks on this forum that believe that the Saints should have a primary rusher who gets 25 attempts per game. But it simply doesn't match either the reality or the history of this offense in the last 7 years. Even in 2009 when the Saints had the #6 rush offense Brees still threw for 514 attempts, nearly 4400 yards and 34 TDs. Of course each of those numbers have skyrocketed over the last 3 years.

Unless Ingram gets into the rarified air of 8 YPC for the entire year, it's unlikely that he will get enough touches to reach this type of level.

I could be wrong of course, but I just cannot see it.

Only Atlanta choked in an unchokable situation... Life is definitely good.
