I'd also bet on Murray. The odds of a 29 & 3/4 year old RB going the distance is extremely rare. Even going at less than half the workload plus he's already hurt and the gun has not gone off.

I think Ozigbo is going to shock a lot of people. Payton was smart grabbing this guy. He's a real deal RB, not some 190-210lb scatback. He'll be the starter about halfway point.

So you're saying that Ozigbo will primary RB on the roster by week nine? Most carries over the second half of the season of any RB on the roster?

The probability is higher Murray will get hurt and Ozigbo will fill the 40% RB work. That is what I'm saying due to age and also; he is already hurt.

I thought the same thing with AD. He would not make it through the season and Kamara would jump in even before training camp. AD didn't get hurt but he did later on his new team and put on IR.

So you are willing to bet that Murray will get fewer carries than Ozigbo over the last eight games. Is that fair to say?

RB is the least of the Saints worries right now.

Don't understand why you two go back and forth on Latavius.

Did you not see the lack of a consistent pass rush (no Cam) vs the Vikes last Friday night?

...

Team is off today. Travel to the West coast on Wednesday for joint practices Thursday and Friday vs the Chargers.

FYI, pre season game #2 is Sunday @ 3 c.s.t.

Agree Murray will get hurt at some point in the season, but I think we’ll be ok. Murray looked good in the preseason game though. You can tell he is going to surprise folks in the first few games with his pass catching.
