Saints: Hot clip offense should slow with Mark Ingram return

Through three games of the 2018 Season, one thing is clear. The New Orleans Saints offense is producing at a feverish, hot clip. But, somewhat counterintuitively, the numbers and pace should slow once Mark Ingram returns in Week 5. And that’s a good thing.

Sorry to bring in an analogy from the world of economics, but the Saints are in need of an interest rate hike. Anytime an economy gets too hot, the Fed considers raising interest rates to avoid the risk of inflation. The Saints offense is producing at such a pace currently that the offense is getting off the field too quickly.
