That many touches for any one guy doesn't fit for the Gulf Coast offense. The entire system is designed around using different personnel with different features that would defensively assigned to different guys on the defensive side of the ball, then lining them up in different positions and using lots of motion that forces the defense to to reveal who's assigned to who and let Brees get in the right play based on that. You have to RB by committee for it to work.

Cater to system or talent.

Sometimes the best defense is a defense that only plays 20 minutes a game. I think Ingram could help make that a reality.

I see where going but it would require a complete refit since it the GCO and kill system favors interchangeable receivers and solid three step passing guards being favored over premium edge rush blocking tackles both sets of which would be undermined b a true feature back. For better or for worse that's what we've got right now. Obviously changes are coming in the off season. Even though the rumors out of NOLA are saying the tension in the locker room has greatly improved I still think it's possible the Payton is gone, and with him the GCO. If he stays we certainly will stick with it in some form, but Payton is a smart enough offensive mind to evolve it and will. Could it evolve it enough to allow a true feature back? I don't know. If I knew Xs & Os that well I probably would be sharing my theories someplace more high profile than reddit/r/fatpeoplehate2.0
