His jersey number is 32.

Re: Running game
 

I'm not sleeping on Devine either. I think he'll battle for a roster spot.

Remember the last time we had a UDFA (value) come into camp and blow the doors off? ... Mr. Pierre Thomas.

Can't wait to see what Ozigbo can do at camp :bng:.

Edit ** what are the chances we keep 4 RB's? If so, I think we'll definitely find a spot for Devine.

Re: Running game
 

Very good... he signed a three year contract.

Re: Running game
 

Shouldn't that be Loomis?

Re: Running game
 

Hopefully Kamara will continue to be the versatile weapon he is, Murray is a more imposing physical RB we probably haven't had in a long time (Ivory) and Ozigbo and is a bit of balance between the two.

Re: Running game
 

I like Murray from his game film. But I'm not in love with the dude. May the best man win the starting job!

Re: Running game
 

I would not be marginally surprised if Murray gets beat out. It will be a three headed attack just like with Peterson. Murray will slowly fade away. He's almost 30 and does not know the playbook or have any chemistry with Brees. 30 is pretty much a death sentence for a RB. Only a small % have any real success at that age. It does happen now and then but he has a steep hill to climb. We have some real rookie studs that will be able to close the gap.

Re: Running game
 

So, who is the RB on the roster with more chemistry with Brees and greater knowledge of the playbook than Murray? Kamara, for sure. Certainly not Ozigbo. Allen, Washington, Dayes? Really doubt it. Murray is a vet that knows how to pick up new systems. And, he just turned 28 earlier this year ... not the "almost 30" that you claim. In fact, he's a year and two months YOUNGER than Ingram. Plus, the Saints signed him to a four year deal worth $14.4 million with half of that fully guaranteed. They knew exactly what they were getting in him or they wouldn't have commited that much to the cause.

Do you not remember Murray gashing us just last year before they pretty much abandoned the run game ? For whatever reason, you're selling a proven vet short. He isn't "fading away" after being very productive on a below avg Vikes O line. Maybe your discernment changes on those 3rd and 2, 4th & short goal line situations in actual games.

Maybe I'm missing something here?

Re: Running game
 

I must be the only one here who thinks Ingram was a disappointment here.

Consider this; where was he in our last two playoff trips? He did nothing in the 2017 playoffs. It was Kamara having all the big plays against Carolina and Minnesota. Then this year, he had his chance to step up and be the man, and could not do it.

Ingram was an inconsistent running back all his time here. He didn't start really breaking out until he had competition - Tim Hightower in 2016, then Kamara the last two years. And even then, Kamara beat him out as a playmaker.

Go back to 2015. Before that year, we thought he was a disappointment cause he had yet to really have a breakout season. When he finally does have his breakout season, he was still inconsistent. Ingram would run all over bad teams, then the next week completely disappear. Remember when he ran all over the 49ers that year? The next week, he was no where to be found vs Denver.

Kamara completely stole the spotlight last year when Ingram was suspended, proving he could be our #1 back. Kamara has done things that we used to wish Reggie Bush and Ingram could do.

RBs are inter-changeable and I don't think we'll really miss Ingram. I'm feeling confident about Murray and think he's an upgrade to be honest.
