That actually had more to do with the Vikes' awful O-line play - none of their backs could get them to run block.

Big gamble. Lot a miles on AP. Also will put the the ball on the ground. 7 times in his last real season. He lost 3 of those but still. Unless it's a bargain bin salary no way. If we go that route I would rather pay for Latavius Murry if we have the coin. Real good overall RB. Better than Ingram IMO but he was in a clown car RB situation with the Raiders and he was not the clown.

Ironically Latavius Murray signed with the Vikings!

Latavius is the the real deal. Probably the most solid overalll RB right now IMO. He can do it all and a much better pass catcher than he gets credit for.

It won't hurt a thing to kick on the Michelin's and discuss options.

Well run organizations always look for ways to become better.

As someone said 10 carries a game for AP is not gonna cut it.

The saints doing their due diligence this time of year should come as a surprise to no one... AP says he wants to play where he can contribute for a championship caliber team. He's visited New England, Seattle, and now us. He obviously holds us in high regard and the saints are going to respect him wanting to meet with us.

That said, I don't see us as his best option.

It seems like speed dating has come to the NFL :)

Mark Ingram gets hurt every year. Unless y'all are ready to watch the Cadet/Lasco combo out of the backfield for the 2 to 6 games Ingram usually misses or is just ineffective in, I'd start giving AP a little more consideration.
