AP Coming for a visit???

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; I'd love this too happen for the right money. Ingram is a fine player but has hardly ever gone 16 games and inly once gone over 1000 yards. AP went close to 1000 yards in 12 games a few years ...

Re: AP Coming for a visit???

I'd love this too happen for the right money. Ingram is a fine player but has hardly ever gone 16 games and inly once gone over 1000 yards. AP went close to 1000 yards in 12 games a few years back and 1500 yards 2 years ago.

Its simple AP in the backfield. Are you gonna stack the box and give Drew one on one coverage for Thomas/Snead or you going to cover them and let AP run like he can.

Waste of time (and money if he's really expecting more than vet minimum.) The Saints have a better option with Ingram who's faster and can catch the ball. Find a RB in the draft and run with him. Shoot, the Saints are known for bringing in undrafted players and doing well with them. I don't understand why they're even thinking about bringing in Peterson.

Ingram always runs harder when he has competition. It makes him run angry.

We need to replace Hightower with someone who will push Ingram. Whether it's a Drafted player or AP doesn't matter to me. I'll let the FO put their plan in place.

I thought this dudes career was over many times and he keeps proving me wrong. If we have him replace Hightower than we are more likely to go more defense in the draft so I say if the price is right then come on down.

Should the Saints brain trust keep Joe Mixon's agent on speed dial if he is there in the 2nd round?

Personally I think in order for the offense to be at it's most effective, we need to bring in a Pierre Thomas style running back. Run, catch, and pass block. AP is a great future HOFer but he seems too one-dimebsional for our offense.

I guess Ingram will have to be a backup if he signs. Remember the fiasco in NYJ when LT at the edge of his career tried to share carries with Shon Greene. I don't trust AP with less carries a game.

Rumoured visit today isnt it?

If so we think he is signing or its sounding out for potential post draft?


Wouldn't mind going into the draft with AP and Porter on the books. Fills up the roster a bit more and no picking for need
