Let Sproules, Ivory and Khiry go
and have Mark Ingram who is one dimensional

Cooks is very promising but we need a #1 receiver to free him up from lock down coverage

why can't we nail draft choices like Carolina does?

Mark Ingram...one dimensional...are you serious?

He caught 50...Yes...50 passes for 405 yards and an 8.1 yard per catch average last year.

A guy that recorded 1174 all purpose yards in only 12 games last year is hardly one dimensional!

Ingram gets so much hate for no reason, he's never in trouble, he represents the team well and gives his all on the field.

Plus the guy has averaged over 4.3 yards per carry over his career and has 26 TD's for us, I think people take him for granted an awful lot!

Sorry, i have short term memory

Mark turned the corner last year

Before that if he was in on a play the defense knew it was going to be a running play to him for short yardage
