Report: Mark Ingram to miss several weeks with hand injury

TheOak · 09-15-2014, 03:45 PM

This is precisely why we start the season with a crowded backfield. If one goes down, we still have 3... You don't start the process of brining in another until you are down to two for a few reasons. One being cap space, the other being roster space.

Ingram is out so take the touches from the browns game and this is what it would look like.
All I did was move everyone up one and add Cadet.

Robinson gets Ingram's 11
Thomas gets Robinson's 8
Cadet gets Thomas's 3

If I do Atlanta's distribution
Robinson 13
Thomas 7
Cadet 6

What is so worrisome about that to cause us to cut players and consume cap space.

Gonna look foolish if we cut roster and cap for 4 weeks because of Ingram then have someone in a less redundant/ more expensive position go down.

Man that sucks. He looked so good at the end of last season and the start of this one.

K-Rob gettin his chance... also be nice to see Cadet may get sum carries...

Well this really stinks, heal up quick Ingram. Oh, now I get to see if keeping Cadet pays off? I don't think it will.

I noticed in the 2nd half when Ingram was running to the left he was carrying the ball with his right hand. I was thinking "man where's your fundamentals?", but if it's his left hand that's broke, that would explain it.

Also, with Ingram out, a skill player nobody is talking about is Brandon Cooks. I'm hoping Sean get's creative with this kid. He has more potential than just a slot receiver. Give him the ball in space and I believe he can be a game changer with some pitch-outs, end-arounds, and screens.

I'm aware of him but if you watched the Atlanta game we are already doing that. Ingram Ingram going down wouldn't change that in either direction.

Watch Sproles last night, hope the decision to trade him don't bite us in the butt. Devalue of running backs need to be carefully watch by our GM, we let Bush, Ivory, J. Bell, now Sproles go and rumors that we were shopping Pierre Thomas. I am not complaining cause we did get compensated for those rb but it was hard to see Sproles in a different jersey practically carrying a team on his shoulder to victory while we're 0-2 .

The Eagles lacking talent doesn't mean that Sproles could help our defense.

Darren was a cap casualty.

It's easy to blame all on defense, but the offense had the ball 1st in overtime, and if saints convert a 3rd down they could've took more time off the clock if not score and put us up by 8. It's not all defense although they should take MOST OF THE CRITICISM.
