Re: Saints see two different types of backs in Terrance West, Shane Vereen
Ingram might need to be a bit worried. The running back position is changing in the league

There isn't another RB on the roster that is further along in that trend than mark Ingram. He isn't worried about ANY of the others supplanting him at this point. |

But, I'm sure he's confident he's got the experience and skills to be the best fit this season at TB for this team... |

I'm looking forward to the results all of that time he put in with the route running and speed experts while others were going through "freshman orientation" at the OTA's. I can see him shifting out of 11 personnel into the slot going four wide and running a regular route more often. That was more of a Kamara type move. Hopefully this makes them even that much more interchangeable.
In fact, out of a 21 personnel they could have either one of the two, or both, shift out and REALLY put the defense in a bind. I don't know of ANY of the other backs on the roster that can give the offense that much versatility. Damn I'm getting excited. |

Re: Saints see two different types of backs in Terrance West, Shane Vereen
Besides his all-around game at RB, Vereen is also a special teamer and I like that he's been in the Patriots' system...

Re: Saints see two different types of backs in Terrance West, Shane Vereen
I'm waiting to see them with my own two eyes.......which is looking like it won't be at camp. I'm hoping one of them balls out for us and helps keep the same flow that the backs had last year.
