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.

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!

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

I want Ingram back and I really wish we picked up the option but I understand why we didn't.

The difference with a lot of them suggestions and the Saints of the last few years is that in most them options players can receive and rush. When Ingram came on the field the whole world new it was a run same with Sproles everyone called a screen or him going into the slot. The only time yeams had to think was when PT came on as he could do both well.

I do agree. Our personnel dictated many of our situational play calls. We had guys that were unique to pass play blocking and screen options and guys who were unique to run plays. In the past Ingram only came in to run the ball and rarely stayed in for the pass calls. Same with Robinson as he was not a satisfactory blocker in those packages. Payton became predictable by personnel and formation. Having only one back for the majority of the offense does not allow defenses to key based on personnel the way they could.

I hope he comes back, next year.

How I see it is Ingram may be the best back in the league. I think he's faster and bigger than Demarco Murray. He carried Bama to a title. Why not us?

lets give some loving to the OL here. 3 years ago the saints started the shift to a zone blocking scheme. never easy to do such a thing to an OL. Well this is the first time i have seen the saints run mostly Zone blocking. It took time but this unit has gelled in the run game finally. That is what Mark ran in at Bama.

now if the pass protection keeps improving we may just have the start to something special up front

hats off to the OL

Now if Mark comes back or not. If not lets all hope the saints learned their lesson and replace him with a back that fits our scheme of blocking.
