When did he have fumble problems? I don't remember that from the preseason.
That being said, I don't see then giving up on Ingram. Sproles, PT and Ingram will still get the bulk of the carries going forward.

well by the time he was getting carries, there were GAPING holes to run through
Sproles and PT would have gashed them too
Ingram would have trippd at the LOS

This. I was frustrated with the lack of running the ball AT ALL in the first half but there was simply no where to go. Every time they handed it off they were hit 2 yards behind the line.

well they knew we were running it, and he drug his nuts on them. It was impressive to me. Dont be surprised if he challenges for ROY
He ain't beating out Deondre Hopkins or Tavon Austin. That's just on offense.

posted this from mosse denied earlier this week. Think it applies perfectly-
Because if this toe injury is even a little bit more than a negligible minor annoyance, it's the perfect opportunity to sit him without "benching him" and allow everyone involved to save some modicum of face. And if that's the case, I think that's precisely what they're gonna do. And if that's the case, then it really is over. Soon. Maybe even right now. Because for all the hand-wringing over the run blocking, pardon me for repeating myself but Pierre Thomas is still running for 5.1 yards per. And that right there is one hell of a "backup plan."
Sure, it's only been 14 carries over the first two games, but while I concede that it's a small sample size so far this year, that extrapolates to 112 carries over the season and 571 rushing yards even if his carries aren't increased. Those are 2011 numbers, and not too far off from his career highs from… all together now… 2009. Which is to say, all indications so far are that he's the same guy now as he was then, and that's plenty good enough.
Which would make it all the more mystifying that they haven't leaned on him more than they have so far, if we weren't already well aware of the reason: they've been desperately trying to make Mark Ingram happen. And while that's been frustrating to watch, they had to do it, because what if it had happened?
But if this toe injury forces the issue, I've got a hunch that that's gonna be it. Maybe not officially, but for all practical purposes. Because Sean Payton isn't the kind of guy to argue with results. Not for long, anyway.

What the frick? Third RB on the depth chart ROY? Would have to be a disappointing rookie class to say the least.

I have to say, that so far he hasn't even been the best rookie on his own team. He would be behind Stills and Vacarro so far. I know you're impressed with him, but he's got a long way to go.

I remember Cadet having fumblitis in the preseason, but I don't remember Robinson having any fumbles.
