Are you serious? Ingram has been on the door step of 1000 yards the past 2 seasons and only missed it due injuries, how has he not been running well?

1200 all purpose yards last season, 750 rushing, missed final 5 games due to injury so he would have easily got 1000 yards.

I believe that's exactly what lee909 was pointing out: that Ingram has been really effective the last 2 years.

As for the OP, asking the question is a setup for disappointment. Sean Payton's Saints do not consistently run the ball. Sean Payton's Saints have never consistently run the ball. The 2016 Saints will not consistently run the ball. Anything else is wishful thinking.

The best one can hope for, and I believe we have seen with Ingram the last couple of years, is that the Saints effectively run the ball

True.
And if we ran the ball 35 times per game with Drew Brees as our QB the masses would be screaming their bloody heads off to throw the damn ball.

The key to dominance on offense is to, as you said, run the ball effectively.
