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?

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.

Why would you think Murray would get hurt during the season? What do you base that on? Murray has missed THREE total games since 2013. Two games due to turf toe and one game due to a concussion. He hasn't missed any games since 2016. He's actually known for his durability.

:confused:

I think Murray will showcase a lot more of his pass catching ability here (more so than with the Vikes) similar to how he was used out in Oakland.

That tall frame (think Deuce M) and long strides will keep those chains moving.

He doesn't miss games and doesn't fumble either. Not sure where the "he'll get hurt at some point" logic is coming from.

Is this based on him missing a few days from Saints training camp?

He may miss practice but he shows up for work on Sundays over the entire course of his career dating back to Oakland.

He's hurt now and at an age associated with RB decline / slower recovery.

Nothing personal. Hope he beats the the odds but those odds are low.

This guy ? He's hurt ? Kind of beautiful the way his old team mate (#54 Kendricks) is laid out on that NOLA Super dome turf.. Right :cool:.

One more photo on the hurt guy from pre season game #1.

Beast - I think my new nick name for Latavius is "Mr. Hurt" ... he's definitely going to put the hurt out on a lot of backs in 2019 :p .
