Let's talk about Mark Ingram

[I AM WE ARE]

Dude is officially a Heisman bust in my book at this point
we got rid of reggie for this guy
so far his career numbers

166 carries 601 yds 3.6 avg 6 tds

i don't want to hear excuses about him being injured last year
having to change and adapt to the speed of the nfl dude's a bust
chris ivory should be playing instead of him

he better start showing me something

but for right now i'll trade him for a dlineman

He ain't that good but New Orleans doesn't use their RBs heavy, and when they do its usually alternating with 3 backs.


I'm not saying Ingram is or would be great elsewhere, but the system in New Orleans isn't conducive to any premier running back

 

[BLAZO da GAWD]

there was no reason for a team that passes so damn much like NO to draft him. that first round pick coulda been used elsewhere

that's my point he's not fit for this system and when he gets in the game he's timid

New Orleans system isn't RB friendly at all.....gives them no chance to get into a groove in a game....and if they do get in a groove they're taken out for another RB....

Drew Brees at QB...you take a power back with your first round pick



Ingram was doomed from the start. Why Reggie one of the leagues leading rushers right now? Cause he in a run heavy offense that's getting the most out of his talents.

ExActly

people were ripping the Dolphins for passing him up. Where are they now?

pierre thomas
chris ivory

these are fine at rb by committee for me no need to get a power/slasher back that can't stay healthy and people say he was doomed cause he went to the saints NO when given his time he hasn't done anything

hell the front office thought he was gone be another deuce and we see that hasn't happened

@nawlinsnfinest I feel ya pain man. we really should have used that pick on something else but that was coming of a year where every running back on our roster got injured at some point and he was the highest rated back in the draft. So I can get their mind set with the pick.

but real talk, Ivory should be getting his carries. even with the cluttered back field Thomas and Ivory(when Mark got injured last year) at least broke for some big gains...Ingram not so much. Tho Sean P did say they saw him as more of their short yardage back and he has been good in that role honestly but I think we all expected more from a #1 pick. I'm still hoping he shows something while he's here.

one more thing tho, if we didn't use that 1st rounder on him when we did we probably wouldn't have our 1st rounder in this coming up draft thanks to what came up in the offseason. They would have probably taken 2 1st rounds instead of 2 second round picks.

Look at Bush's production since he left the saints

 

[Reverend Jesse Jackson]

Old School RB in a New School League

 

[I AM WE ARE]

all i know is we need a defensive lineman bad our d-line

 

[thelonious21]

No WAY pierre thomas should be getting so much more burn

 

[BLAZO da GAWD]
