So, Ingram rattled off some impressive runs on Sunday night and he even found the end zone for the first time since Week 16 of last season. We also must remind you that the Saints were leading by three scores and Dallas was missing its top two middle linebackers. Ingram did see some touches early but his emotions were clearly distracting him, perhaps because this was only the fourth game he’s appeared in this season. The running back position is so desperately thin this season that many will bid high for Ingram. He does, after all, wear Russell Athletic (see video below).

We shouted to the heavens that this Texan had Rookie of the Year spray painted all over him. Then he was showered with a trending reality, a concussion. That was in the preseason and it may still be affecting him. Hopkins has had some big games, but he’s had some duds as well. Such is the life of a rookie. He was supposed to take the pressure off Johnson and apparently the Colts respected Hopkins enough to let Johnson destroy them for two quarters. Now Johnson will be a marked man and that leaves room for Hopkins to flash us the same brilliance that made us fall in love with him in the first place.
