Ingram looked a little inpatient.

On more than a few runs he missed the hole and on some instances he didn't make a cut once he ran through the hole. He ran up the back of some blockers, and into the arms of the defenders.

He needs to show more patience and make sharper cuts. He looked like the speed of the game had him a little off.

IMO, He will develop and learn the speed of the NFL. He will begin to trust his blockers, use his vision and make good cuts.

Bright future, but tonight he looked like what he is, a rookie.

I thought Ingram looks pretty good.

The O-line, eh.

Ingram will be fine. On the short yardage plays where he got stopped, he just had no chance.

Ingram has the potential to be rookie of the year. He's A-OK in my book.

no doubt he ran hard and shows his physical talent, but he will gain experience and will improve. I'm just saying that tonight he looked a little rushed to force himself in one direction.

He should have been used earlier in the game more IMO but I think it will come around. He's young. Don't want to have him mess up and turn into a head case.

I think he's gonna be a star for the saints..noticed that he did run up his linemans backs a few times but he will only get better the more he plays in Reg. season games..looking forward to watching him..

I thought he played well. Although I would have given it to P.T. on the last play, the way he was running tonight.

Ingram has a great chance imo to be better than Hillard and Deuce. Guy is a playmaker and plays at such a high level.

I thought so too, on a few plays the cutbacks on the outside were wide open. Although the field looks different through the facemask as they don't see the field from the same speed and angles as we do

good RBs can make things happen when the Oline gets beat.

I'm not down on him, just saying he needs to develop more. He will be very good once he settles into the speed of the NFL.

The Saint's interior may be the most overrated o-line in the NFL.

Disagree if you will. And I aint saying they suck. Overrated.

Probably should have run the ball more, but saints were playing from behind all night.

We were down 14 within the first 5 minutes. We didn't really have a chance to establish the running game. Colston's fumble really hurt us.
