All different runners than Ingram. And again, I'm not an Ingram guy, but I wonder exactly what type of numbers everyone expects him to put up. And I'm also not saying we SHOULD give him more carries, I like our offense the way it is. But what I am saying is that for the type of runner he is, it isn't conducive for him to be the big yardage number guy everyone seems to expect him to be. The way our offense is designed and with who we have throwing the football, none of our running back can, or will, be big yardage number guys.

It seems like people blame Ingram for the Saints' decision to move up and draft him in the first round.

I just want consistency. For a while it seemed like a wasted play to hand him the ball because he was getting stuffed for no gain or 1 yard. I'm not expecting 100 yards a game, but i just want 3 or 4 yards per carry almost every time
