Hightower: I will prepare for whatever Saints need me to do
 

The 40-whiners are the perfect team to unleash a motivated Ingram against; although I believe Hightower will also play.

Re: Hightower: I will prepare for whatever Saints need me to do
 

I want to see Lasco get some of Ingrams carries, let's see what the young guy can do!

Re: Hightower: I will prepare for whatever Saints need me to do
 

We been trying to unleash him but he keeps forgetting to take the ball with him...

Re: Hightower: I will prepare for whatever Saints need me to do
 

Said nearly every player in NFL history.

Re: Hightower: I will prepare for whatever Saints need me to do
 

Brees has probably turned the ball over more than Ingram will and cost the Saints more games!

Re: Hightower: I will prepare for whatever Saints need me to do
 

Shhhh....

The difference is that Ingram went to Bama, Brees didn't.

Re: Hightower: I will prepare for whatever Saints need me to do
 

And Brees and Ingram will both be in Canton one day....except Ingram will have to buy a ticket.

Re: Hightower: I will prepare for whatever Saints need me to do
 

Yeah, there IS the Bama thing but there's also...

Re: Hightower: I will prepare for whatever Saints need me to do
 

I think he was being a smartass. Lol

Re: Hightower: I will prepare for whatever Saints need me to do
 

Yeah, I got that, but it was a good excuse to do a short right up on just how good Drew Brees has been for this franchise.

Re: Hightower: I will prepare for whatever Saints need me to do
 

Ingram vs Hightower is a good problem to have. There are other teams in the league that due to injuries basically have no RB - Vikings, Chiefs, Packers, etc.

Re: Hightower: I will prepare for whatever Saints need me to do
 

Since Brees arrived in NO he hasn't been good for this franchise....he's pretty much BEEN THE FRANCHISE.

Re: Hightower: I will prepare for whatever Saints need me to do
 

The difference is even though Brees may turn the ball over, he keeps us in the hunt every season with elite play. Ingram is average at best, he runs into the back of lineman consistently, there is no elite level for Ingram, just mediocre.

Re: Hightower: I will prepare for whatever Saints need me to do
 

Ingram is average at best I agree with that statement. Brees is from a different planet the I can't even see how you can compare the both.

Re: Hightower: I will prepare for whatever Saints need me to do
 

Looking at the Ingram draft hindsight it was actually a good move. Really nobody after him that did squat.

Hoping they al least start splitting work. Hightower is hungry.

Re: Hightower: I will prepare for whatever Saints need me to do
 

Hightower and Lasco ought to light up the 49ers. Then let's see if Ingram can earn back his spot when he's highly motivated.

Re: Hightower: I will prepare for whatever Saints need me to do
 

Well he has also won a whole lot more for the Saints than the Ingram ever will.
However I think such comparisons are dumb.

Re: Hightower: I will prepare for whatever Saints need me to do
 

Ingram reminds me a lot of Mario Bates with a slight upgrade. No vision or instinct really. Relies on less cerebral attributes but can still get it done. Unless he drops the rock and puts shame on the family.

Re: Hightower: I will prepare for whatever Saints need me to do
 

he just needed the weekend off, will unleash the roll tide this sunday, he always does when out the doghouse. why does he do dat?

Re: Hightower: I will prepare for whatever Saints need me to do
 

Agreed. I'm astounded that this is even a conversation. This is why we have an Electoral College, kids.

Re: Hightower: I will prepare for whatever Saints need me to do
 

They need you to run like your pants are on fire.

Re: Hightower: I will prepare for whatever Saints need me to do
 

EXACTLY!!!
