JJT: New deals will require creativity

Spiller, Ingram and Helu are a couple of guys I'd look at from that group, give me a guy like Tevin Coleman on top of that and I'm feeling pretty good.

Helu especially. That guy is a very good receiver.
 
The one thing that has to be addressed with a new RB is pass protection, Murray was a true 3 down back.

I understand that is the reason we didn't see more Randle. The team didn't trust him in blitz pickups

A big feh to Spiller. Dude gets injured just thinking about getting tackled.
 
Let Murray walk, draft another. This line makes our running back, not the other way around. Before this season, Murray was a walking wounded player. This season was a fumbler. Our front line will make most running backs look all pro. As long as they can pick up the blitz.

Feh. We've got the uber awesome talent known as Lance Dunbar.

Tragically, I am sure that is what the staff thinks.

We just didn't get him the ball enough and stuff.

Helu racked up 696 yards of total offense on 82 touches.

Dunbar had 316 yards on 47 touches.

One of these things is not like the other.

Saw this posted in another thread... apparently Garrett is a huge fan of Ingram

We also seriously dabbled with the idea of trading up for him in the draft.

My big deal with Ingram is that he's been nicked every year.

And I know I have said this a hundred times...we need a back that functions well in a zone scheme.

The fortunate part about Ingram is that he clearly is one of those guys. He ran behind it with Saban and didn't get that until this season in New Orleans.

it is not a coincidence that he had a career year once the Saints quit trying to make him a power runner and shifted their scheme to what he does best.

There's a tweet at the top from Broaddus:

“@whizz17: @BryanBroaddus do you see Mark Ingram as a possible cheaper replacement to Murray?” HC huge fan.

Totally agree. I think he'll flourish in the scheme we run in Dallas. Just depends how much he'll command on the open market.

Ingram.

But I think he'll be close enough to Murray's price that it won't be worth it.
 
I'd like Ingram a lot. He's a talented back who just hasn't been used, so he has tread on his tires.

Very doubtful, teams just don't pay RB's anymore, especially not a guy who has never even cracked 1,000 yards. Hell, there's even some speculation as to whether Murray will get a mega-deal or not.

I'm very sure we could get Ingram for no more than about 4 a year.

If Ingram is getting 4 a year then hell no.
 
Not an Ingram fan. He's okay, would probably do fine behind this OL, but I don't think he's anything special.

Agreed, I wouldn't offer 3 a year for him, let him come in for a prove it contract, pad his stats behind our OL and then rip off some douche (please not teh JJ)

An incentive laden deal would be a win-win for all concerned. I've been watching Ingram on NFL rewind and I've come away impressed at how quick he finds and gets to the hole. His line is far from terrible, but put him behind ours with our ZBS running game and give him 350 carries and he'll blow up.
