Who do we have that is going to replace his ability to catch screens, etc out of the backfield or are we just giving up on that all together because PT is great but at the end of his career and will get held up a lot, and do not even mention Ingram or you should get lifetime ban. Has Cadet or Robinson made that much progress or is SP changing the offense? Kinda thinking maybe SP is revamping the offense but this one surprises me more than all the others together.

Wait, you think Sproles is better than PT on screen plays? PT is one of the best screen play RB's in the league.

I don't think you are going to enjoy saints football this year.

Ingram will not replace Sproles, but will get more carries. Stop watching if you can't handle that.

Explain to you the deal: We sent him to Philly for a 5th rounder.

Explain to you WHY we did the deal?
Sproles production since he got here in '11
11: 87 rushes 603 yards (6.9ypa); 86 receptions 710 yards; KO: 27.2 avg; PR: 10.1 avg
12: 48 rushes 244 yards (5.1ypa); 75 receptions 667 yards; KO: 26.8 avg; PR: 8.0 avg
13: 53 rushes 220 yards (4.2ypa); 71 receptions 604 yards; KO: 21.3 avg; PR: 6.7 avg

in every statistical category, his production is going down.

Ingram had a few nice catches at the end of the season. I think he is highly capable of this aspect of the game, just hasn't had many opportunities behind Sproles and PT. Now ban me for life.

They never should have released Sproles. Frick the saints.
