Replacement for Mark Ingram ... Tre'Quan Smith!
 

That's right. The rookie WR is being groomed to possibly fill in as the second RB for the suspended Mark Ingram. Just heard it on NFL Network. He's getting a decent number of touches in recent practices.

Re: Replacement for Mark Ingram ... Tre'Quan Smith!
 

Huh? Why? Don't we have enough RBs?

Re: Replacement for Mark Ingram ... Tre'Quan Smith!
 

Is it April? This feels like a April fools. How many RB's do we have atm..7? Leave Smith where he needs to be and that is receiver.

Re: Replacement for Mark Ingram ... Tre'Quan Smith!
 

No. It's not a joke. The coaching staff knows where Tre'Quan needs to be better than us. It sounds like he is so special that he needs touches. Why not give him a shot at RB? Versatility is so important on a 53 man roster. The more players you have that can perform at different positions it creates more room for quality depth.

I think we learned a few years back that you cannot have too many RB's.

Re: Replacement for Mark Ingram ... Tre'Quan Smith!
 

No link? Then it's just fodder for conversation. Can Brees punt the ball? :confused:

Re: Replacement for Mark Ingram ... Tre'Quan Smith!
 

It was a report from Saints training camp on NFL Network. You can't link to TV. Although, it usually get repeated online somewhere. They showed Tre'Quan taking reps at RB in camp while doing the report.

Edit: Here's the link!

Thanks.. looks like receiving out of the backfield mainly. In this instance, RB and WR are interchangeable.

Re: Replacement for Mark Ingram ... Tre'Quan Smith!
 

Bull. He is doing just fine as WR. They
Are just testing his ability.

Re: Replacement for Mark Ingram ... Tre'Quan Smith!
 

And I bet you are the man for the job.

Re: Replacement for Mark Ingram ... Tre'Quan Smith!
 

No faith in West, Williams, Scott, Edmunds or newly signed Vereen?

Re: Replacement for Mark Ingram ... Tre'Quan Smith!
 

Maybe he's such an outstanding athlete that he's a better RB than the others. There's a lot of depth at WR. If he can play both positions he would be a nightmare for defenses.

Chicks and Football... :doh:

The only kind of chicks and football I've seen that looks great, I can't share the video here or Smash will drag me before the Inquisition again...

Re: Replacement for Mark Ingram ... Tre'Quan Smith!
 

Come on man........do it anyway!:flame:

Re: Replacement for Mark Ingram ... Tre'Quan Smith!
 

Bahahaha! What a bunch of clowns!!! I was like wtf?! Lol!!

So really now...which RB were they actually talking about?

Re: Replacement for Mark Ingram ... Tre'Quan Smith!
 

Shades of Percy Harvin and Randall Cobb. Give the defense a little extra something to worry about. I'm cool with it.

Re: Replacement for Mark Ingram ... Tre'Quan Smith!
 

I almost died from this rumor. Still sick but will be ok.

Re: Replacement for Mark Ingram ... Tre'Quan Smith!
 

Re: Replacement for Mark Ingram ... Tre'Quan Smith!
 

Fake news? shocking
...but some continue to believe

Re: Replacement for Mark Ingram ... Tre'Quan Smith!
 

This is a a good talking point but I would rather Tre continue to impress at the WR spot. He's listed at 6'1 but when you watch tape, he plays a lot bigger.

If and when he masters that play book, he could really become a key cog in an already high powered offense for 2018.

Side note - it's really a good sign when coach Johnson puts Tre in with the 1's at practice. Those reps with #9 are golden.

Re: Replacement for Mark Ingram ... Tre'Quan Smith!
 

August Fool's.

Re: Replacement for Mark Ingram ... Tre'Quan Smith!
 

So TQ is not our RB to replace Ingram, even with all this reasoning of why he should be?

Color Me Hadd.
