Sony Michel scheduled to visit Saints

People keep saying Ingram is washed up, but what on earth makes anyone believe that?

He played well last year here given the situation adn he hasn't taken a beating in a couple of years. I don't think he's something we hang a season on, but he's surely not washed up.

I don't think washed up is really the right term. He still brings some things to the table but his numbers over the past few years indicate a typical decline for a RB on the wrong side of 30. I want him on the roster but at this point in his career I just don't think you want him seeing the bulk of the touches.

Having said that, he did play behind a heaping wreck of an O line last season. And defenses weren't really afraid of our passing attack. They were able to tee off on our backs. Even AK failed to reach 4 yards per carry. His 3.7 ypc was the lowest of his career by far. So maybe with better QB play, other weapons on the field, and a healthy O line he'll still have some juice. But if they go into the season with a 32 year old Ingram and Tony Jones Jr, that's a risky proposition with little upside.
