Ingram is 1,395 yards away

exiled · 11-04-2017, 09:36 AM

I loved having the Deuce, love him on radio too. I also loved George Rogers. No less because of Deuce. and MI becoming our new leading rusher would make me happy because it is 1400 yards of offense.

I bet Deuce would say the same.

The only record to fall that ever broke my heart was... well The boot. but ANY Saints records being broken by other Saints?

I say Run MI run!

Did Aaron Brooks Passing passer Bobby A-bear make you love him less?

or the obvious Brees over Manning make you dislike Archie? were you not rooting for Brees?

Not sure anyone like Aaron Brooks. That dang smile after throwing an int made me want to kick him in the nutts. The Cinci game solidified him as my most hated saint of all time. As for MIA, its not that I don't think he is serviceable. I just think AK is that much better. Why pay him 6 million a year when we pay AK a fraction of that for better skills? Trade MIA for a rd 3 pick. Someone would bite at that price.

It takes at least two these days. Get rid of one of our two really good RBs for??? We'd actually be able to find someone better in the third round than Mark?

I really wanted to quote several other posts on this thread but had to reply to yours for one reason over anyone else’s.

DEUCE IS HORRID ON THE RADIO.
Love the guy and he’s ok for sports talk but along side Henderson he is embarrassing. Little enthusiasm even less personality and just doesn’t flow. Sometimes I can almost hear Jim’s eyes rolling. He totally misses Jim’s jokes and has no banter.

As far as Ingram and his yardage is concerned injury early in his career hurt his stats. He really turned it on the second half of the year several years back when we looked like we may make a playoff run and has been solid ever since. Additionally since 2011 Payton all but abandoned the run game because our defenses have been so damn bad it all rested on Brees shoulders. Our offensive line hadn’t been blocking for the run all that good either.

As someone else said it takes two backs in most systems these days he’s always had to share carries with someone else. Deuce was our main guy. I also like the insurance of a good back for when someone goes down with injury. I love his attitude and the way he runs. I agree there probably isn’t a much better option as far as fair compensation.

Anyway I agree with the rest of your post.
Absolutely hated AB though. Even when we were decent and he played well I hated his attitude and whole personality.
I hope we keep running the ball successfully enough for him to play out his career here. Our defense goes back to bottom of the pack and he can forget it.
