re: Does mark Ingram carry the load after a few days rest

Robinson is questionable. But I would give Ingram about 22-24 carries and spell him with Cadet for 7 or 8 carries.

On the road... I feel like Sean Payton won't do what worked for him the previous week (especially away from the dome). I'm hoping he feeds Ingram the ball about 22-25 times.

the balance has been there all year, it is just the ways in which he achieves that balance that frustrates fans who see it

8 yard run, ok shotgun cadet the back, motion him out wide

oh super, I wonder if they're going to throw it.

he's not fooling defenses with his playcalling and he's not leaning on the ground game WHEN he should

the 2nd half minus the first series was called perfectly but before that let's revisit

ingram runs them all the way inside the 10:
FB dive
pass
pass

first series of the 2nd half, 3rd and less than an inch:
FB dive

could sneak it and get it easily or just give it to ingram

now 4th and a long 2, NOOOOW we see ingram in a running formation, problem...GB defense sees it to and is 100% committing to the run...this isn't an inch, its 2 1/2 yards. Every GB defender is on the line in the middle, no audible, no timeout, no nothing. Runs the exact play GB is expecting.

then saints fans go "see, you want him to run it short yardage and look what happens"

after that, he was done being an idiot

I guess what blows my mind is Carmichael did the same shite as well, and it didn't matter when we had bush (who was an excellent 3rd down chain mover) and sproles in 2011 when he was excellent on short passes

but now it's god damn infuriating

been the difference in all of the close games.

Lions game, running out the clock and he pulls out a reverse. I know the penalty was bullshite, but that drive we were cramming it down their throats, why do anything other than just pound it milk clock and win the game.
