Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

... from passing Deuce for all time total yards as a Saints RB.

Will he get that this weekend?

Probably by next Thanksgiving in 2018.

Deuce is safe. MIA won't be a Saint next year.

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

I hope you're wrong.

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away

Bahahaha!!!! You're killing me man!!

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

Hey where'd the Dilly go FF? Put it back!!!

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

Nope. Outta here. Kamara has a better shot since he will get more yardage than both of them did his first year.

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

There's such strange, irrational disdain for Ingram.

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

I was the main pusher for him. Got laughed at on here too! Glad we got him but not gonna happen on the record. He likely could have done it if Payton would have stopped using him like a battering ram up the middle for like every single play for a couple of years.

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

Agreed. I've always thought it was a little weird. The guy is a good back.

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

His rookie year was great until he got the turf toe. From that point, a bunch of dive up the middle plays. I think it's more of a frustration with how we used him along with the slew of injuries. He really didn't start making money for us until late in his residency which is over with. We are not paying top dollar for a high mileage RB. Any team that does is in a bad bad situation.

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

And an even better guy! Really impressed with him

My only problem with him was the way he'd overreact every time he wouldn't score a touchdown. I've always liked the way he ran and I like him more now that he has his emotions more in check.

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

It appears he has kinda silently done this...I wasn't aware he had so many yards

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

With the way Payton loves to run the ball, anything is possible.

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

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?

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

We need to run more tosses with Ingram. He’s much better on the outside.

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

I see Ingram staying. He's one of those rare players that seems to care more about the team than anything else.

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

I just can't see the Saints being able to keep AK off the field. The kid is a beast. He can run between the tackles and run any WR route. He is everything we could have hoped for. Reminds me so much of Thurman Thomas with twice the speed/quickness.

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

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.

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

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?

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

I like Ingram and think he has been solid, but he wasn’t worth a first round pick particularly because we traded up to get him. His first 2 years he was bad, but when he cut weight and got faster I’d say he is a top 10 back in the league.

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

With our lousy draft history from those days, any player still around and making major contributions to our victories is definitely worth one of those first round picks.

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

Totally agree. His injuries early in his career irked me but i love the guy. Love how he gets when he’s challenged or after he fumbles. Except the other week. I like him more than PT. Kamara is a compliment not a replacement.

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

A lot of people forget that MI has always shared a large portion of snaps with another back. If he gets traded to a team where he's taking 90% of snaps, he's going to have a big year. You can argue that he might get injured, but you can't argue that giving that man that many snaps isn't going to make him one of the NFLs leading rushers.

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

Looking back at the 2011 draft, I think MI was money well spent + he's had staying power. Who else even compares to Ingram at the position in terms of production from that entire draft? Demarco Murray maybe ... maybe? IDK, Cam (above avg/elite) and Ingram (solid) were two solid picks by the Saints.

I'm just glad Trent Richardson :rolleyes: wasn't eligible for the 2011 draft.

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

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.

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

Mark Ingram.is going to be 28 next year and how much longer can the saints count on him? 2 to 4 years?

Can AK take over the load? Who steps in for him?

I put this in the Drew category. The end is in sight and the bench looks mighty empty for backup starters much less backups for the backups at QB and RB.

The time is coming and how long can you wait?

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

His last contract year is next year.

His cap hit is not small.
Based on how he is used, he's got lower mileage on his wheels. He may get another contract, maybe for 2 years, 3 years max. If that happens, he'll break the record.

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

Agreed

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

I take it back, keep MI. I’m loving this one-two punch lol.

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

How many yards compared to Deuce does Ingram have as a starter?

How many years did Deuce play compared to Ingram?

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

Ingram is running well this year but I credit the oline, addition of Kamara, and defensive improvement.

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

So you credit everyone except the guy running the ball?

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

I've never been a fan of MI but I've got to give it to him. Guys having a heck of a year and playing with heart. When was the last time the Saints ran for more yards than they passed for?

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

Peterson showed him how to be a professional. Last year MI was whiny. He has always needed to be pushed. Kamara is keeping that up...plus contract negotiations soon.

Re: Ingram is 1,395 yards away
 

MI is a good running no matter how you slice it.
