Make sure everyone knows that Lombardi said that Ingram was a good back but he was the worst RB on the roster.



It's interesting point. There's no way it's true after our preseason (Ingram has looked nice, Ivory not so much) but it shows that Lombardi is engaged and knowledgeable enough about each team to have a contrarian opinion like that. It may have been true last season while Ingram learned to run behind a pro line. I'm sure as Lombardi sees some real footage he'd change his mind now.

Since when is is that a problem for rbs? Chris Ivory had no problem coming from D18 football to averaging 5ypc in the NFL. No, Ingram is not the Saints worst RB. Cadet is. But if I needed someone to go out and get NFL yards, I'd take Ivory over Ingram right now. Ivory's fall from grace, in Saints fans eyes, is stunning given the animal he's been in actual games that count.
