The Saints are expected to run a "more conventional" rushing attack this season with Mark Ingram as the "bell cow."
Ingram is a classic back with workhorse potential and a solid all-around game. After speaking to league sources, Yahoo's Jason Cole projects that the Saints' ground attack will mirror more closely the team's 2009 rushing offense as opposed to other years. New Orleans ranked No. 7 in rushing attempts that season. They were 30th in 2010, 26th in 2008, and 26th in 2007. If the Saints play offense as planned, their pass attempts will also be down.
