His primary role? Decoy. He'll get the ball just enough to draw the defense to the LOS. He'll get the ball sometime on 1st and 10. Sometime on 3rd and 2. Ingram has developed himself into a 3 down back in the Saints' offense. He can run efficiently, catch the ball in the flat, and pickup the blitz. AP doesn't have as effective a skillset. And the Saints are not going to change their offensive philosophy to accommodate what AP does best. So don't go thinking that suddenly the Saints will become LSU. It's not going down that way.

Re: AP is close to deal with Saints
He was injured last year the year before put up what 1500 yards. Barring 2 season hit by injury his worst year is 970 yards in 12 games. Again except them two years he's never run was under double digit TDs. Ingrams never run for double dogit TD. Now he may be on the decline but Ingrams not exactly shown he can stay healthy,6 season only 16 games twice,13 games or under 4 times.

Re: AP is close to deal with Saints
Barring injury, he's still a freak... and a highly productive one. This definitely would be an interesting signing.

Re: AP is close to deal with Saints
Time to draft defense if we sign AP that would mean we've saved a draft pick and still have Lasco. Gimme' an O-lineman and a WR in the first three rounds then go defense the rest of the way.
