Somebody will pay him more than the Saints. It is what it is. I hope it's a HUGE contract after leading the Saints to another Super Bowl win. :)

Re: Ingram - Saints Relationship
 

I'm glad to see Ingram running better, but to be honest I think it says more about what we need to do philosophy wise than it does about Ingram, himself. I've heard over and over from people who have defended him when he was struggling who said "he just needs more carries to get going". There is no statistic to support that statement. He runs the same early as he does late. Whether it be a good or bad performance, he pretty much goes as the line goes.

I will give him due credit for being able to run through holes more decisively now than he ever has before, as he was notorious for running blind and being too hesitant before. But when this line plays as it has recently, it doesn't matter who's back there at RB. If you give Khiry 30 carries, he's gonna run wild too. But he's hurt, and Pierre is hurt, and so Ingram is getting his chance. Good for him that he's, so far, making the most of it.

The bottom line here, in my opinion, is that if we're having this much success as a team, by running more and controlling the clock, then we should not change a thing. Regardless of who our back is, just keep running and maintain this balance.

And you know what, why is dating a bad thing. When your dating as a guy... you do every thing you can to impress your mate into marriage... and that is exactly what Ingram is doing.

- STAYING HEALTHY ( Still and ongoing issue ) Hand injury... now shoulder troubles....

- being more decisive
- not being tackled as much by the first tackler
- holding on to the ball
- finishing runs

All the things people like me held him accountable for when we were critical of him.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Ingram - Saints Relationship
 

our system always puzzled me. i understand down situations and all but the swapping by plays vs series really never made sense to me.

what happened to going with the hot hand?

if mark can ever shake the injury bug hmmm. with his style of running that might be hard to do.

many have said he need to get in a grove for years now

Re: Ingram - Saints Relationship
 

Like I mentioned a couple days ago, Ingram wears down defenses

There was a point in the game where he was only getting gains of 3 or 4 yards, but credit SP for sticking to the run, as soon as gap opened up Ingram exploited it for a bigger gain

Ingram and the O line really seem to be on their game.

Re: Ingram - Saints Relationship
 

And thats probably why Ingram didn't want to come out. He could tell they were wearing down and he was about to bust a big one.

Re: Ingram - Saints Relationship
 

Ingrams in great shape, running hard 30 times is hard to do. I like the fact he is getting a lot of carries but I think over 30 would be to many. 20 to 25 is plenty being spelled out for a breather from time to time. I still say if we keep feeding him he breaks a 1000 this year.

Re: Ingram - Saints Relationship
 

Ingram is playing for that next contract.

Somehow I don't think that will be with the Saints.

But that's talk for the offseason... We have a division to win!

Re: Ingram - Saints Relationship
 

If we loose Ingram we are going to really have to look at a RB in the draft.
Robinson looks good but is still very much work in progress with under 120 carries, Needs to improve keeping hold off the ball too,2 lost fumbles in them carries.

Cadet just isnt good enough as a change of pace back or returner
