HAHAHA!!!! OP is a douche bag of legendary proportion!



I'm glad the saints got Ingram, but the OP is right. There are plenty of running back in this draft and there will be plenty of running backs in future drafts.

Guess who is on the cover of NFL '12? Peyton -fricking- Hillis. He had 1100 yards last year and he probably wasn't taken anywhere near the 1st round. Pierre Thomas did it for the Saints in '09 and Chris Ivory did pretty well last year when he got playing time. Neither of them were 1st round picks.

The Saints lost to a 7-9 team in the playoffs because their D got torn to shreds. Taking a defensive player in the draft ahead of a RB was a smart move. I'm glad the Saints got Ingram and I think he will do very well and help balance the offense so Brees doesn't have to do so much. I'm not sure he was worth the trades they had to pull to get him though. Time will tell.

FIFY

We jumped all over people's asses with fast starts, and then ran you to DEATH, especially in the 2nd half, and picked favorable mismatches on offense based on situations in the 2nd half.

Not having a running game had everything lean on Brees.
