Mark Ingram had a spinning, tackle-breaking touchdown run in his NFL debut, and the New Orleans Saints defeated the San Francisco 49ers 24-3 in the preseason opener for both teams on Friday night. Ingram's 14-yard scoring run highlighted a performance in which the 2009 Heisman Trophy winner out of Alabama carried six times for 23 yards. Saints undrafted rookie Joseph Morgan, a little known prospect out of Walsh University, added a spectacular 78-yard punt return for a score. David Akers hit a 59-yard field goal for San Francisco, a kick set up by rookie quarterback Colin Kaepernick's 28-yard scramble late in the first half. Starters played less than a quarter, and defense dominated during that scoreless stint. Source: Associated Press
freaking O-line and Vernon Davis not picking up Harper coming from the outside didn't help Alex in the least...Oh and Anthony Davis, block someone ya doofus...<sigh>
20 blitzes in the first half? Yeesh they came to kick some butt...teams wont be fooled by new Orleans again. Harbaugh should have pulled a Pete caroll when he meant peyton after the game. "What's your deal!?"
