The real benefit of AP is going into singleback and the defense having to respect his ability. He puts defenders in the box and opens up the rest of the offense. I know AP was rushing 1.7 yards per carry last year before the injury, but what you didn't see was the Vikings passing attack was going off because people were making Sam Bradford beat them - which he did.

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.

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.
