Second half predictions from NFL.com

Pretty bold.... even if we run him hard I don't think he rushes for more than a healthy Murray.

coach Sean Payton can no longer deny that he has been holding back one of the league's premier runners

Well, this is just flat-out bullshite.

Doesn't surprise me they said that considering he just played on the NFL Network. They're definitely trying to sell high on him

Wesseling has been hailing Ingram as our savior since early offseason. Looks like he wasn't too off the mark. He picked us for the SB too

He might not get more than 15 carries a game the rest of the year with everyone healthy in our backfield

I don't know those facts like you know those facts.

What my eyes say is that MI is running well since the last half of last year and this year as well and he is our best pure RB so far this year. How CSP uses him here on out or where he wants to go next year who the hell knows as "facts".

All I hope for is that CSP when the situation is there run the dawg sh!t out of him and we can worry about next year...next year.

Oh and 1st place on a 2 game win streak f@ck all you CSP, MI, JG, Brees and the season is done F'ers.

I'm excited as hell that he's producing. I hope we continue to use him this season.
I just hope we don't give him a big contract to stay after this season.
If he resigns with us for reasonable price or is franchised, fine.
It's human nature that he's giving extra effort this year in his contract audition.

I even heard an interview on the radio a while back of him pretty much saying it. He said something along the lines of "this season was an important year for him and his camp and that he needed to do well because they were in a contract year"
And the reporter kept badgering him saying things like "so Mark, are you saying that you are trying harder this year than you would on a non contract year?"
He crawfished out.

Also, see 2 years ago when Chris Ivory started getting playing time lighting it up. Threatened by losing touches, Ingram started giving above average effort and running better all of a sudden.

Guy onlly plays hard when he has to it seems. I'm loving him lately, but I'm skeptical hippo of him maintaining effort and healthiness after securing a contract.

I thought so too but not I'm not sure what'll happen if he lights it up all year...

but to say CSP has been holding him back get the frick out of here

I hear you on the injuries, but can you really say CSP didn't hold him back? There is no doubt the RBBC has held him back. MI is a player that needs the ball more than 1 or 2 times in a row and then go sit down. This is play calling and CSP calls the plays. Payton has held him back. And it wasn't wrong in some cases as we know PT is a stud. At this point though, let MI run the damn bball. When PT comes back, involve him of course, but why sit a horse out there running hard for you and gaining yards?
