New Orleans Saints running back Mark Ingram had a strong sense of deja vu following the second game of the season.

Ingram took his glove off in the locker room following the Saints 26-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns on Sept 14. He stared at his swollen thumb.

The thumb had hurt throughout the game after he landed on it after a run, but not to the extent that he couldn't play through it.

But he knew it wasn't good looking at it in the moments following the loss. That meant X-rays, which led to a prognosis of a fractured thumb and surgery.

"They sent me to get an X-ray and that's when we figured out it was broken," he said.

So for the second time in a year, Ingram was glumly facing the prospect of sitting out Week 3.

"Week 2 got me two years in a row!" he said. "I just want to get through Week 2 healthy next year."

Last season, Ingram emerged from the Saints 16-14 win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a toe injury. He wasn't able to return for almost two months, missing five games in the process.

The difference this time around was that Ingram seemed to be moving forward instead of backward. Ingram was the subject of much criticism following his eight-carry, 20-yard game against the Buccaneers last year.

The Lions allow 3.3yds per attempt. Why do you think we're going to win solely by running?

I think we're all familiar with "why" you run and "what" it leads to.

So would you like to compare Dallas's O line to ours now? They're not built the same and don't do the same things.

A good run game is an excellent weapon for any team to have but it is not "the key element to winning games"

The Jets have an excellent running game and they're 1-6.

Of the top 10 running teams in the NFL right now, half don't have winning records.

It's good to be able to run but it's just part of the bigger picture.

Awesome to hear Ingram's back. It'd be even better if Lorig played this week too. Austin Johnson has played well but Lorig is supposed to be a serious road grader and Tampa's run game has really suffered without him. Maybe Ingram and Lorig can elevate the Saint's run game to an elite level.

Watching Ingram's status week-to-week this year is like a freakin' video game...he's 50%...uh oh he's 75%, so look out...oh yeah he's 100%. Time to dominate this Tecmo Bowl game.

Real-World: We need this man to run possessed, and something tells me he will.

Block, O-Line & whichever FB we have, BLOCK yo man down.

You missed this one...

Of the top 10 running teams in the NFL right now, half don't have winning records.

And of the top 10 passing teams, only 4 have a losing record.

Regardless of where our O ranks

We are 13th in scoring and dead last in turnover margin, as a team, that is killing us.
