They made the wrong move by cutting sproles and signing spiller in the first place.

Ingram catches the ball well. He caught the ball a lot for Bama. Why do we put Cadet on the field/roster? Christian McCaffrey anyone? Gives us a true 3rd down back and a good returner. If we moved up for Fournette though, I'd be glad.

You damn straight, Skippy, NE relies on the screen pass...

Rodgers hasn't won sh*t since he hasn't had his running backs...

ALL, and I mean ALL, successful teams rely on the screen pass...

Even Oakland won more games in a generation this season because of the screen pass...

Tampa Bay had a mini run in the middle of the season with a healthy Jacquizz Rodgers doing damage...

If you don't have the screen pass in your arsenal - you're not going very far...

OMG faulk, lewis, they always had rb that coul catch a pass out of the backfield. solid post.

They don't but PT did some great work with those screens.

McCaffery is probably gone when we pick.

So you mean to tell the offense struggled this year in those games they lost because they didn't have Reggie or Sproles? Honestly Cadet is fine(not to be used whenever though), the problem is the OFFENSIVE LINE and that bum TE when playing those kinds of games. Some say the oline is fine but Peat was okay at LT, and the LG position was weaker as a result. Kelemete just does not do enough. And then you have RG where Jahri underperforms against stronger defenses.

Oh and Ellias Williams is suggesting we bring back Reggie.......

You better check some of Peat's grades at LT, he had a 90+ game last week; and Peat usually didn't know he was playing LT till the game with the on again, off again injury drama of Armstead...

Everyone here knows LG and RG is a problem; Kelemete and Lelito are obvious backups who are now well-seasoned...

Besides Deuce PT was the best all around back we've had in a long time. He will always be the screen king to me. It was a thing of beauty to watch. He didn't run like a scat back in runs, he was a smart runner reading his blocks and making the most of his moves to get him into open field. Oh yes, he was good inside too.

Don't forget the Saints will be sending their 1st and 4th round picks to New England for Garoppolo!

I would need to take a few months off from watching Saints football if that happened lol. I'd hope the FO isn't that stupid.
