Trade deadline near- will Dallas made a deal?

[Bob Sacamano]

Some sportswriters are saying Dallas should trade a mid round pick to the Saints for Mark Ingram at the deadline.

Thoughts?

Are they looking to get rid of him? That would be embarrassing after what they gave up for him.

I don't think he's good anyway.

You're forgetting about the Garrett/Saban connection ThoughtExperiment....


Garrett would coach him up.

Hell no.

I don't think they make any significant trade.

Worth as much as a 4th. Anything to reduce Murray's workload.

Seems weird you got Randle averaging over 6.5 yards per carry and he's not considered a worthy backup.

No way I'd trade anything except a very late rd pick or conditional pick for Ingram...Randle and Dunbar are doing a good job, and we still have Ryan Williams on the PS

That's how I feel. Although Ingram would be a better option than those guys it's not worth the draft pick... Especially considering I think this is the last year of his deal too. But I thought Ryan Williams did good in preseason so I'd like to see him brought up.

It still mystifies me why he isn't on the active roster, getting some touches.

I think the fact he struggled with the protections and didnt really do much on ST hurts him, perhaps thats stuff he is picking up on now.

Stuff you really can't learn at practice speed. Emmitt Smith had trouble with blocking and protections early on too, but had the advantage of learning under fire, in full speed games. Hell, what back out of college is ever gonna not need learning in pro blocking and protections?

Williams should be out there getting touches.

He isnt right out of college anymore

That wasn't anything like what I was saying. I know he isn't right out of college. I am saying that without real in-game work, very few if any RBs are going to learn protections and get good at blocking. He is not going to learn protections in practice. The mental part, possibly but not the speed and thinking on your feet part.

Should he be getting some touches, is the question.
