Eric Karabell wrote an excellent breakdown of the New Orleans Saints' running back position, reminding readers that rookie tailback Mark Ingram will be sharing carries in a crowded backfield.

Ingram might indeed make a run at a 1,000-yard season.

Ingram has been turning heads throughout his first NFL training camp, showing a combination of power, shiftiness and breakaway ability.

I don't understand why the Saints brought in Sproles after trading Bush.  Like the article says, it's already a crowded backfield, and you would think the Saints would want to push for Ingram being their feature back, not getting lost in a sea of other running backs vying for playing time.

Good point. I imagine that the Saints want 3 good running backs. This keeps them with freah legs and some insurance if a running back goes out during a game.
