re: Who will lead the Saints in rushing this year?

I still think PT will get plenty of carries, and rightfully so.
I think we will see balance similar to 09, and that's really all this team needs. On paper this is easily the best defense Payton has had, and it's not even close. The offense should rely on milking the clock with a balanced attack. That'll likely result in many wins. The fact that Payton went for this kind of offense down the stretch is pretty telling IMO. Brees' age plays a factor in this going forward as well, the team HAS to be more balanced.
As far as carries, it might be situational, or it might just be who has the hot hand. PT is still the most reliable and versatile of the backs, so he will see plenty of looks, but will earn his touches by receiving more passes than the others. Ingram and Khiry will have the bulk of the rushing carries, while PT will be a change of pace back. Cadet or maybe even a draft pick like Archer or D Thomas could playing the RB/WR role.
It'll be interesting to see how Payton handles it.
Taking a guess at it:
Ingram 40%
Khiry 30%
PT 20%
Cadet/possible draft pick 10%

Hopefully they feed the ball to Khiry

If Ingram doesn't run like he did down the stretch of last season that will likely happen.
Khiry will still get plenty of touches though.

Led the team in rushing touchdowns (3) last year. True Story! Sad story... but true.

It depends on whether we get the Ingram from the first half of the season or the 2nd half.
I want Khiry to get a lot of touches

Sad truth is Ingram is not going to be the runaway yardage leader for the team in last year of his deal and that is called a disappointment. Khiry should produce good numbers and I'm dreaming Of a mid round draft pick
