Question about Ingram

WhoDat!656 · 11-05-2018, 06:21 PM

Will the Saints use Ingram more that he has been in a couple games after his suspension?

Since he will be an UFA next year, are the Saints experimenting with Kimara to see how he handles the load in preparation for potential life without Ingram in 2019?

I see it as riding the hot hand and trying to keep both of them as fresh as possible during the season... I don’t believe anything we have done this season is preparing for the future; except maybe the trade for Bridgewater

Ingram isn't the same back he was last year. Could be lots of reasons. My opinion is he just needs reps.

I think Mark has performed pretty well, being that the last 4 games since he's been back have been against strong run-stopping defenses (Skins, Ravens, Vikes, & Rams). Even Kamara's production between the tackles in the last 4 games have been hard fought yards.

MI has a lot of value protecting Drew too. He's an easy target for fans I guess, but I personally hope we resign him after the season.

Remember the last teams we’ve played all built defenses. Payton will unload the beast when it’s right

MI is doing fine... He will pay off big late in the season.

But... As for keeping him next year, I'm not sure, depends on the contract.

Absolutely re-sign him...as long as the price is right!

Wouldn't resign him. He is great at pass blocking. That is something he excels at. He is great change of pace, don't want kamara as a featured back with all us else he does out of the passing game. Still wouldn't resign him. I kept thinking how he hasn't done much of anything this season in 4 ganes. Looked it up 50 for 181 yards. That's pedestrian. We really need to spend 5 million a year for that, really? We can't draft someone to provide that?

If we had any draft picks, yes probably we could
