Ingram is getting beat up because his productivity is down... A few reasons why it is down this year.


Ingram's issues of his own making - Has yet to prove that he can pass block or pick up on the blitz. This is his problem he needs to fix to get on the field more.


Ingrams issues of the Coaches making - Ingram has been in the game for 43 snaps this season and has run the ball 27 of those. That means 62% of the time if Ingram is on the field he is getting the ball and running it. That is the highest in the league... Defenses know, if Ingram is in he will probably get the ball... This is telegraphing and telling the defenses to key on him.

I alluded to the Saints letting opposing defenses know what we are doing in another thread. We have done nothing creative this year.. Defenses are not sitting back anymore against the Manning's, Brees's, and Brady's, they are coming after them.
