AP changes the game plan. On 3rd&1 we don't have to throw the football. He will easily get those extra yards. One guy that can have monster season because of AP is Ted Ginn. There will be a lot of play action shots. Just catch the damn football.

Speaking of Ginn Jr as the number two outside receiver against Arizona last year, he caught for only less than 40 yards.

Meanwhile Kenny Stills for Miami as the number two outside receiver with the same specialty as Ginn caught for over 90 and a TD.

Cooks IN ARIZONA caught for over 180 and two TDs.

Don't get me started on Chris Hogan week 1.

Arizona struggled last year against effective offenses with number two receivers on the outside. The ones that like Ginn were stopped were Britt, T Smith, whoever was opposite Marshall with jets after Decker went down(Smith?), and Kearse. All of those were either terrible receivers or on bad offenses. I guess this could come down to it being Cam's lack of accuracy or Ginn's inconsistency.

I really hope Evans is right about AP being our starter because putting the pressure on AP to rack up needed yards everytime he is handed the ball is a failed too many times strategy.

For someone who is supposed to be so analytical and about the stats; you sure are wrong a lot...

He caught 5 of 6 for 53 yards with a long of 16... You really should do more research before you spout off...

He's not gonna get 1500 yards because we're not building our offense around a running game much less a running back.

I must have mistaked, still he paled in comparison to other deep threats including two people no longer on our team.

It will be very good for the Saints if AP reaches any of these incentives.I don't understand why any can wouldn't want to take a chance on a future hall of fame RB as a backup RB .
Peterson is generational talent who has proven an ability to defy the odds when recovering from injury and be hyper productive.
This is a low risk gamble that pay huge dividends if it hits.
If he bombs the Saints really don't suffer much.
If he is75% of his former self?

1,500 yards? 10 TDs?

Mark Ingram 1,000 and 10 TD barring major injury and a full 16 games, which is rare

Peterson 750 and 10 TD works also

20 rushing TD would be a huge from these two. add in a few from Khun and others and we are talking a totally new game for teams defense in the red zone schemes against us.

You've done nothing but "mistaked" ever since you showed up on this forum. And whom exactly is the "our team" you are talking about?

He can get 1500. Ingram is a good RB but lacks some skills AP has even at 32. Mainly vision and raw power. AP will be the starter come week 2 or 3 if both are healthy. Mark my word; Ingram will become Hightower.

I wonder if in 2018 the saints will go after one of the top RB in a strong draft class.

1. Saquon Barkley RB Penn State* 5106 223 4.33 #26
2. Derrius Guice RB LSU 5106 222 4.53 #5 Jr
3. Ronald Jones RB/KR USC* 5116 195 4.49 #25 Jr
4. Bo Scarbrough RB Alabama 6012 228 4.55 #9 rJr
5. Nick Chubb RB Georgia 5095 228 4.54 #27 Sr

I can not wait to see Derrius Guice next year as the featured back.
