Yes I was an Ingram fan and yes I thought Murray would be at least comparable. He is/has not been close. I’m not talkative mg about Ingram’s proformance with the Ravens (he looks awesome). I just talking about an average Ingram with the Saints. Murray makes little to no impact with the chances he has gotten. We need more.

Ingram’s agent can DIAF.

Wish there was some way to get him back.

I’d also like to see something out of Jared Cook. He doesn’t seem much better than 50 year old Ben Watson was for us last year.

He's barely being used. He got 2 carries today. Not sure what he's supposed to do with that. He was good against Houston which was his biggest sample size with 6 carries.

Cook has been such a disappointment. The two plays that stand out are the INT that hit him in the chest and not getting around on a perfect back shoulder throw from Teddy.

Today, I truly missed Ingram.

This whole situation sucks. Ingram balled out today too.

I had Murry on my fantasy team two years ago and he was a beast. I was excited when we got him but so far he has not shown what I think he is capable of.

More of Murray means less of AK

I’ll take AK

Oh you had him on your fantasy team 2 years ago? Can you give us more insights on how we should utilize him and some of his tendencies? More of a zone runner? I mean..he was on your fantasy team and all.

Don't be a dick. He just meant that he was producing.

You don't have to be such a dick. Dude was just making conversation. You must be real fun at parties.

When cook went down he and some other guy shared the carries for the Vikings. He was a power runner that would make one move and just hit it hard. It was a completely different offense then ours. He was decent at catching but his real strength was getting continuous carries and just hitting the hole hard and fast.

Murray isn’t getting the touches needed for him to make an impact yet. I think this team is just figuring out how to use its pieces, especially with Brees now out.

I think he will be fine. Ingram had slow starts too for a few seasons until he got involved and then played very well. Murray doesn’t lack the skill, it’s just about him getting acclimated and the touches to show it.

Cook on the other hand has been an utter disaster to date.

Wonder if Baltimore would take Murray and Cook for Ingram.

He looked good with Brees at Qb but yeah, he needs to start being more involved quick. Kamara is a stud but idk if he'll last all season with the kind of workload we gave him today

I'm guessing we will get more out of Murray going forward, or at least when Brees comes back. Right now we are going to rely on Kamara while Brees is out. When Brees comes back we'll probably need to give Kamara a little bit of a break/less attempts. Don't want to run him into the ground.

Kamara was great today and had the hot hand. Murray only had a carry or two, so not much for him to do.

If Murray can help us salt away some games later in the season, that’s what we really need him for. I think games like the bucs, cardinals, falcons and colts where be will he has big opportunities.

Cook on the other hand has been a total disappointment.

Kind of hard for him to do anything with 3 touches per game.

Any RB needs to get in a rhythm; hard to do when you only get the ball twice in a game. LM will be fine.

I was shocked we didn't see more Taysom / AK / Latavius looks when we were up by 20 in the 4th. Latavius should have been fed the rock at the end, but it is awfully hard to take AK out of the game.

Also, we had like 50 offensive plays. It is not like Latavius got 2 of 35 carries.
