Or break a leg returning kicks :bugeyes:

I think in his prime with us he could've been our Marshall Faulk. Sure hope Ingram is back. We need him vs Detroits front 7.
I don't mean this as an attack...on you or on Reggie, but he is not now nor was he ever nor will he ever be Marshal Faulk. We all desperately wanted him to be. He wasn't and he isn't and won't ever be.

FINALLY.

Now we have a real shot to win this game.

True, but he wasn't the bust that many made him out to be either.

He moved on to other teams and was very successful.

Because he matured as a player and quit trying to do too much. Learned to head up field and not try to dance in the backfield like he did here.

And it's not like our run game has suffered after he was traded...

I agree. I never thought we used him right.
He had so few touches that he always tried to do too much when he did get the ball.
He goes elsewhere, gets 100 more touches a year and is suddenly a 1000 yard rusher. Twice.

No I don't think we have suffered at all. It would be nice to have him back but he is not needed.

Reggie was a salary cap victim. We got Sproles to replace Reggie for half the cost. Sproles performed better than Reggie did.

Ironically, Sproles became a salary cap cut too.

The O-line needs to show up in this game or we are gonna get killed. Eight sacks of Teddy Bridgewater?!?!?!? :bugeyes: Jesus.

Then again, the Vikes got 4 sacks of Stafford themselves, so...low scoring game, hopefully?

Junyah and Jordan we need you guys ready to go get it.
