New Orleans Saints: Mark Ingram's Suspension
Yes, the Saints still have Alvin Kamara during Ingram's suspension. But Ingram was the primary rusher as Kamara was used more in the passing game. Carrying the ball 230 times compared to Kamara's 120, Ingram is the soul of the Saints' rushing attack. Sean Payton has even said they will not increase Kamara's carries during the suspension, which makes one wonder where the running game will come from? New Orleans' first four games are home matchups against Tampa Bay and Cleveland before a short road trip as they visit the Falcons and then the Giants. Without the balance Ingram brings to the offense, the Saints could potentially drop those two road games and maybe even get upset in one of those home matchups. Given New Orleans' schedule, they can ill afford such losses as their Week 8-12 games are at Minnesota, vs. Rams, at Cincinnati, then home against Philadelphia and Atlanta. Definitely not an easy stretch of football, and it does not get better as they then go on a three-game road trip before closing the year home against Pittsburgh and Carolina. With a schedule that tough, the Saints will likely have to win three or four of their first four games to make the playoffs, something that will prove difficult without Ingram.
