And yet you don't know for sure that Ingram would have done any better under those exact same conditions just like you don't know how Robinson would have done this past Sunday night.

In the 3 games that both Ingram and Robinson played in, Robinson outperformed Ingram in two of them. That doesn't mean Khiry is better than Mark. It just goes to help show that the Saints have more than 1 capable back.

quote:
More rested is a joke, we were at home vs. TB and Minnesota who have a combined 4 wins. If we got more rest because it was SNF, GB defense got more rest as well. That is the only difference. GB didn't just so happen to get the same amount of rest as Minny/TB

The Saints had week 6 completely off. It was pretty noticeable the very next week against Detroit that the team was looking generally better after the rest and time to regroup. When they played GB, they were only on their second week back after a full week off while GB was playing their 8th consecutive week. You have never heard a team say something like "The bye came at a good time for us because we're feeling a bit banged up and could use the break right now"? Are bye weeks as a rest benefit a joke? No, not at all. I don't know why anyone would try to declare that they are.

Wait..what?

vs. Atlanta:
13 carries, 60 yards, 2 TDs 4.6ypc
6 carries, 28 yards, 1 TD 4.7ypc

vs. Cleveland:
11 carries, 83 yards, 1 TD 7.5ypc
8 carries, 31 yards, 3.9ypc

vs. Detroit:
10 carries, 16 yards 1.6ypc
3 carries, 26 yards, 1 FumL 8.7ypc

You guys refuse to accept the fact that YPC is not the best indicator of the better game for a RB.

Randle > Murray in YPC because he doesn't carry it as often, most of the time more carries = lower YPC, and you guys blatantly ignore the fact that Khiry fumbled it vs. Detroit leading to 3pts for detroit. That already costs him whatever advantage he had over Ingram because he costed us possession and they scored 3pts off the turnover.

Under similar scenarios, Robinson underperformed against porous run defenses (i.e. TB and Minnesota). He should have been FRESH since he only carried it 14 times in 2 games before Minnesota, right?

Since you want to use "Fresh" as an argument, he went 18 rushes for 69 yards (3.8ypc).

Minnesota was tired from 2 previous games where they were hit for:
11 rushes 43 yards (3.9ypc) - Zac Stacy
25 rushes 101 yards 1TD (4.04ypc) - Stevan Ridley
