Cooks shouldn't factor into Khiry one way or another. Also Robinson's rookie season sitting behind Sproles (high priced FA), Ingram (1st rd pick), & Thomas (reliable vet), should not have any bearing on his position this year.
So because he only had 54 carries in his career I guess he's not much of a runner either.
I think his point is that he has 54 carries vs. 1 reception, so teams aren't exactly unsure how to defend him when he's in the game. I don't think they are factoring in his college receptions much when they game plan either.So because he only had 54 carries in his career I guess he's not much of a runner either.
An odd thing to say when he had 38 catches for 430 yards in 2012 in college.
Except the book on Ingram in the NFL is mostly written. 24 catches in 3 years for 143 yards. When he's in there, its most likely a run. While he had moderate receiving skills in college (60 for 670 over 3 years), in the NFL he's shown nothing.I think his point is that he has 54 carries vs. 1 reception, so teams aren't exactly unsure how to defend him when he's in the game. I don't think they are factoring in his college receptions much when they game plan either. Their predictability is more about play calling than it is about ability- Ingram was pretty good catching the ball in college as well, he's certainly serviceable. Obviously Thomas and maybe Robinson are better, but they'd still be better served to mix it up more than they do.So because he only had 54 carries in his career I guess he's not much of a runner either.
I realize this is reaching back a bit, but several have referenced Robinson's receiving chops in college to show he's a better fit for a pass-catching role.
Both Guards are currently sitting out with minor injuries. LT Armstead looks to be substantially stronger and better in his second year, and RT Strief is having a good camp.
I'd change that to say the book on Ingram in NO is mostly written, and that's due to their predictable play calling. He can certainly catch the ball.Except the book on Ingram in the NFL is mostly written. 24 catches in 3 years for 143 yards. When he's in there, its most likely a run.

At least Robinson is an unknown because he hasn't played enough.
What's really odd is that Mark Ingram had over 50 catches for more than 600 yards in his final 2 season @ Bama and 11 catches as a rookie in the NFL but you think he is predictable.So because he only had 54 carries in his career I guess he's not much of a runner either.

Sounds promising. That, along with Sproles leaving (3,000 yards from scrimmage over last 3 years), and Jed Collins leaving (7 total TDs) with Greg Jones coming in - might be some value here as a whole. If they do go 3 headed RB, I'm not sure any will be worthwhile.
Barring injury, Khiry isn't going to be that valuable this year. He's going to split carries with Ingram while PT takes over Sproles' role.
4 carries and 1 reception, Ingram 3 carries, Thomas two receptionsLooks like a three headed monster.
4 rushes, 1 catch. I still think this backfield is going to be far too unpredictable to rely on this year.
I just dont agree with that at all. PT knows the offense, has Brees trust, runs hard and has shown he can produce. For the long term yes Robinson would be the one I want, for the next 4 weeks I bet PT way outproduces him.
Robinson was getting more carries than PT before Ingram was hurt, why do you think he'll get more carries now?
That is quite a high rush TD% for someone that only has 2 career rushing TDs. A merely moderate TD forcast brings him back down into about where I'd expect him.
