yeah he rotates em, don't mean Ingram wont get some catches this season, maybe even a career high coming if he stays healthyIf you listen to anything other than the absolute, 100% occurrence of pure RB committee goodness, every season of Sean Payton's coaching career, as well as every season of every descendant of his in the coaching tree, you're nuts.BigSteelThrill said:
It's like 20 years of RBBC's, none of stud feature backs.
As well he should be...
The answer is.... we don't know why he did it. Nor does it matter. If he didn't get in, then we can say "why didn't you run Ingram there". But if his decision helped his team win, which it clearly did (The 100% TD is always better then the 99% chance Ingram got in), then the call makes sense.
Hard to tell. Ingram in the passing game works for the Saints because it's not obvious what the team will do. When Spiller is in, the Saints are more than likely going to be throwing. Ingram could be even better if Robinson stopped stealing carries.
There is. I saw it live and people plastered it on twitter. Ingram, off to the left gesticulating and yelling. Payton, to the right with his reading glasses going over his clipboard like it was The Night Before Christmas.
Found it. Yea I'd be pissed too.
Seriously half the ball was across the line when his butt hit the turf. I don't get it.
I agree with this. I'm perfectly content with him as an RB2. His upside may be a bit capped, he's not going to really go off, but he's been getting 50+ rushing, 50+ receiving, and the occasional score. I love the fact they throw so much on first and second downs. While he doesn't have the wheels of a Spiller, he's got very good hands and has a nose for the first down marker. He's actually the least of my worries on my team.
I punched a pillow because I ended up losing by 1. Then I realized what an idiot I was for being that angry over a $50 entry fee league.
Exactly. Payton pulled a straight up BAM on Ingram who had two incredible runs to get them there and was rewarded with a benching.
While we have ulterior motives, the point is more about a coach being in tune with his players. Most coaches understand the psyche of an athlete and that a TD is something players covet. After 2 strong runs and being ruled down on the 6 inch line from a reversal, most coaches would allow their RB to punch it in. It sends a message of saying, "you got us to the goal line, you've earned this opportunity to punch it in."Deamon said:
Ok ya, I can see that.. But maybe rather then 'I won't try hard next time" it will be "I will try harder because I want to get in the endzone so my backup doesn't come in and steal it from me". Sometimes players are motivated that way quite a bit as well. Fear of missing out can be stronger then the will to get it in the first place.
Forgot to put him on there. Another one, where if Lynch gets healthy, I can see wanting him over Ingram. But as of right now, I think I'd rather Ingram.
My thought was that the substitution was a way to not telegraph what they were going to do. You trot Ingram back out and everyone expects him to get his number called.
Except they went with the jumbo package on the play, and Robinson has gotten the ball on a higher percentage of his snaps than Ingram has this year.
Personally, I can't name 12 other RBs I'd rather have in dynasty. 10 maybe, but not 12.
The problem is what can you really get for him that is better, unless its a package trade. I'm in a standard scoring 12 team redraft league, and I don't see any other RB similarly ranked who doesn't have their own warts. Unless you are going to gamble on the likes of an underperformer like L. Miller, Ellington, J. Hill, who else ranked around him are you gonna go for? And more importantly, why would the other owner give that player up?
Agree. Goes back a couple weeks ago when I was talking about who you would even get for him that would be better at this point. You're not getting someone in the Bell, Peterson, Forte, Lynch, Freeman, Gurley tier straight up for him. Maybe you get Lacy, but that's not a guaranteed better deal. So if you wanted to move on from him, who are you moving on to?
