You've got to be one of the most narcissistic posters I've seen on this sight in the last 10 years. Your posts are some of the most blatent, self righteous and ignorant of any that I've seen. I have no idea how a person can make a very vague comment like "run the ball effectively and we'll win" and pretend that when the team does do so that you've looked through a crystal ball.

That's like me saying "If we win the turnover battle we should win 90% of our games". Then gloating about it after it happens like I'm some sort of football god.

I understand that everyone on this sight has opinion. Most of time they are debatable or at least relevant. But your chest thumping, gloating and painfully obvious "opinions" show you're blissfully unaware of your own narcissistic tendencies.

I've never called someone out on this sight. Never really argued with someone. I have never put anyone on my ignore list. You're the first. Congrats. From this point on I will be able to go to a thread without having to scroll through avoiding your ridiculously annoying posts that show all you want is a pat on the back or a "holy cow man! You were totally right!"

You're so full of yourself its annoying.

He beasted. Good to see him playing well. I hope we can afford to keep him.

Cadet has not been a popular player on the message board, but we saw last night when he gets a chance he can be pretty productive. He'll never be Darren Sproles but he can be a poor man's PT. That's not bad when he's your fourth option.

Re: Mark Ingram rushes for career-high 172 yards in win over Packers

I'd like to see us limit the carried of Robinson and Thomas when they return, and keep it as the Ingram show.

I mean I don't know of why people do this, and you are right. You attack the defenses weakness. It is true that running opens everything up, but if you are not successful at it, like we weren't against Detroit you have to pass and use the run just to keep them honest. Like you said- everything in context

Agreed, I haven't been a fan of cadet but when called upon last night he made the plays and extended some key drives for us. Deserves some credit.
All round great team win.

Dude, take a second and then take one good deep breath. No one here is disagreeing with you that the saints should "CONTINUE" to run the ball. They have been doing that all year but you're making it seem like they have some how just committed to the run because you told them to lol. Dallas has the best rush offense in the league and they are averaging 159 yards/game. We're averaging 133 yards/game. That's not bad. Unless the NFL outlaws passing nobody is going to be averaging 200+ yards a game regardless of how good your backs are because there are teams in the league that can actually play good rush defense. Having a balanced is attack is important but somehow saying we should be averaging 200+ yards a game is just silly.

Re: Mark Ingram rushes for career-high 172 yards in win over Packers

People can say "Oh we played against the second to worst run defense in the NFL"

That still doesn't change the fact that Ingram has a 5.7 YPC for the season so far

Ingram is the type of runner that will wear a defense down, he will get 5 or 6 yards here and there and then he'll explode for a 30 yard gain

There is no perfect formula for winning in the NFL, nothing that says if you run the ball you'll win, the biggest thing our offense did was play mistake free, that's when we are most dangerous

Re: Mark Ingram rushes for career-high 172 yards in win over Packers

Mark Ingram was he best football player in that entire draft , problem is we stashed him on the sideline with Sproles , Ivory , Thomas , Cadet , all taking snaps away from him. Add the fact that we pass 45+ times a game , and his history with being knicked up and you get what we got.

People screamed bust from the top of the Superdome , not even giving the kid his fair due.

I want to keep him , problem is he's probably performing this way because he know this is the only way the salvage his reputation in hopes to sign somewhere else because lord knows between Byrd Graham Brees and Jordan's upcoming date for an extension we probably won't have the resources to sign him to an effective deal.

His career would be unbelievable in Seattle where they I bet you are licking their chops on him with their lynch situation going sour.

We have to restructure somewhere or cut a back to make room for him. He not only wants the contract , he wants the carries.

Can we give that to him ?
