Saints | Mark Ingram learning from Adrian Peterson

New Orleans Saints RB Mark Ingram said he is competing with RB Adrian Peterson but is also learning from him. Ingram noted that he and Peterson recently discussed how to balance patience, vision, decisiveness and aggression when trying to get first-down yardage on third and short. Ingram said putting his head down and barreling forward toward the first sign of an opening has been his inclination, but sometimes a choice he regretted because, ‘If you would have followed your read and followed the guard outside, you would have had a 30-yard run.’ Ingram recalled Peterson telling him, ‘I’ve noticed that in that time you just have to slow down and trust your eyes.’
