Payton would have cut Ingram earlier this year for his fumbles and running out of bounds. He holds the team accountable and I’m worried that’s where the saints will struggle. Although, DA did ship off CGJ
I think more accurately, he would have benched him for the fumbles, Ingram would receive the message, and not run out of bounds later.
Its not about punishing the mental mistakes, its about preventing them. This year there were all kinds of mistakes from players that we weren't used to seeing them from. From the RBs to the o-line all the way to the kicker and punter.
