Dontbthink anyone is going to argue that though this offense has been good its not been 09 amd 11 levels of good for a few years. Ingram and Peterson can do this

We ran the ball them years. May have been a committee running but the ball was run well
2011
431Attempts
2127 Yards
16 TD

2009

I'm told #Saints were always extremely upfront with Mark Ingram as they pursued Peterson. Lots of respect on all sides.

Did anyone catch Steve Smith's take on NFL Network

I never liked the guy when he played, but he speaks so highly of our organisation and he seems smart as they come.

When they kept asking about Mark Ingram, Steve Smith replied "Healthy Competition....any guy that backs down from a challenge like this, isn't built to play in the league."

I completely agree with his stand point and I'm ecstatic about this signing.

I missed it but did you ever notice over the years how chatty coach Payton and Steve were post game while he was with the Panthers? I don't mean just a hand shake but meaningful conversations. Mutual respect.

I think the offence might look a little like back in the day when we had both Deuce and Reggie back there but with Ingram and AP instead. Then with Thomas and Coleman on the flanks and Snead in the slot, where do you try to defend?

A healthy AP is a guy that SP will tweak the offence to fit. Might be certain packages or whatnot but they'll try to make it work.

First off, it's up to those receivers to catch the balls, especially Coleman and Snead.

Awesome signing... hopefully this puts all the draft a RB talk to rest.... atleast this upcoming draft

Any chance Ingram is on the trade block?
