Teams would get in 3rd and 15+ and have absolutely no problems getting the first... |

Re: Unsign Ingram and Draft....
I would not mind getting him in second round if we can get Fitzgerald in the offseason. I am beginning to go back to what makes college players NFL successes. It is all about the name. Melvin Gordon is a standout name, more so than Mark Ingram was. He also came from a school where he was not part of a system. There is one dark area though...........Montee Ball went to this college too and he was drafted in the second round in 2013.
This was how I thought of things when I was more into college sports, I studied names to determine success. However some players(such as Chase Daniel) were never given starting opportunities. |

Re: Unsign Ingram and Draft....
PT hopefully has another year in him. Robinson looks great and has a bright future in the NFL. Bring in a good late round runner and we should be fine.

Re: Unsign Ingram and Draft....
If SP wants the kid he will reach from 13 to get him. he does not care about paying to much for a RB. i have a sneaky feeling he might just do something like this in round 1. not that i would mind really. i would be happy with another safety too.

Re: Unsign Ingram and Draft....
Sure the D was a problem.
Also for sure the O had issues. That is why we keep debating, but all agreeing, that the O-line needs upgrading. That is the fact. No matter what grade the Offense had in the NFL. No matter what superior grades the Offense had compared to the Defense. |

Re: Unsign Ingram and Draft....
More Ugly Truths for Saints Offense...
Saints were third worst in drives ending in turnovers... Saints Touchdown to Turnover Ratio was 33:17, a little worse than 2:1... Offense shares as much of the loss for the season, running up the field and not being able to convert on the goal is as effective in winning games as having four three and outs and punting... You gotta get it done when the opportunities are there... |

Re: Unsign Ingram and Draft....
Need to go back to basics and get the lines on both sides stout. We can invest in all the fun toys later.....every draft has them. We can't fix everything in one offseason,so why not focus on the O line and the D front 7. Btw, I think Ingram should be resigned. He has proven he is capable of handling the work load.
