Dolphin_Akie Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 How do you think it will play out? Is Ingram the main back with Thomas taking the same pass catching role as last year with Khiry in the background? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zooty Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 sounds right until it changes. I think Robinson could supplant Thomas. I don't think Ingram develops into anything more than what we have already seen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolphin_Akie Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 sounds right until it changes. I think Robinson could supplant Thomas. I don't think Ingram develops into anything more than what we have already seen I thought Robinson was more likely to be battling Ingram for the carries with Thomas taking the old Sproles role? Khiry's not really been used to catch passes before but I suppose they could groom him for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Football Follies Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 I'm thinking Ingram and Khiry split carries....PT gets most 3rd downs. I expect PT to be in there with Ingram or Khiry on several downs and maybe lineup in the slot of move around some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rajncajn Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 pretty much Yep, but with more running downs than before. sounds right until it changes. I think Robinson could supplant Thomas. I don't think Ingram develops into anything more than what we have already seen Don't be looking for Robinson to supplant anyone but Ingram. Completely different backs for completely different purposes. If you had to do a depth chart for the Saints backfield it would look more like this: RB1 - Ingram, Robinson RB2 - Thomas, Cadet Ingram is the starter and will get the majority of the carries, including most short yardage and goalline work. He will also start seeing more receptions as well. Robinson will be brought in just to spell Ingram. Thomas will see more of a traditional 3rd down role, but will still be used in the screen game and will still see some change-of-pace carries as well. Cadet will be PTs replacement if he is injured, otherwise will likely only see return duty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavinRJohnson Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 If what rajn says is true, Ingram's going to be a steal in most drafts outside of nola. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forever in debt to mo lewis Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 If what rajn says is true, Ingram's going to be a steal in most drafts outside of nola. hope hes right....im pretty well stacked at wr....have lacy and ellington as my top 2 backs....i have moreno, ingram and hyde on my bench....i could use ingram to come through and make a good flex or rb 2 for byes or injuries...hes the guy im looking at most to step up out of that bunch....
