With 800ish yards rushing, Mark Ingram becomes the Saints all time leading rusher

I feel like he will, but I think he will be missing the first four games this year. Hopefully he will still get plenty of opportunities when he gets back. I always worry that these NFL coaches forgetting about the running game.
Mine too.
But back then, if you had asked me which of our RB's were to have the best NFL career, I'm not so sure I would have said Ingram. I probably would have said Trent or Eddie.
Yes, Mark is out the first four games, so he should be well rested when he comes back. He's looked good in pre-season. There were a lot of questions with Mark early in his career, because, as you mentioned, the Saints forgot about the running game. They finally rediscovered that last year, and Mark and Alvin Kamara both had great years. Mark got about 20 touches a game and was finally able to show what he could really do. I think he can break the record this year.
Probably should have broken it a year or 2 ago if Sean Payton used him earlier in his career. Hope he gets the carries to break it this year. He averaged 70 yards a game last year and will only have 12 games to do it. So, if he maintains that pace he would have 840 yards.
I am not sure. I was listening to one of their pre-season games on the radio and the radio guy was saying he would be missing the first four games. Maybe he appealed it and had it reduced down to two though.
Hard to argue with this since it has not hurt him financially. More years in the NFL > more yards.
And he’s done this with a pass-first offense with one of most dynamic passers in NFL history. I’m proud of the career he’s built there. I hope he still has s few more years in the tank. 8 seasons is a long career for a RB.

The Saints have had a few very good running backs, but for only short periods of time (3-4 years, it seems like). Mark should blow that record wide open if he can just stay on his feet. And stay off of suspension.
It has been great fun as a Saints fan to have a Bama man as a major part of the team. Hasn't happened often.

I know. It seems like yesterday that I was watching Mark against Clemson in the Ga. Dome.What's scary to me is that he's been in the league 8 years. Time does fly
Man getting old. Does not feel like he has been in the league that long.What's scary to me is that he's been in the league 8 years. Time does fly
