That's kind of my point.

It seems to me that the things you saw him do in college are different because he isn't involved many of those style plays in the NFL. Pitches to the outside, checkdowns. Not straight up the middle, everytime, although he did some of that at Bama as well, and I can totally understand the criticism of him not now being successful on those kinds of plays at the NFL level. But he does always get positive yardage. (Except in GB)

I just feel like I never see Ingram with the ball in space with the chance to make someone miss, and to me its because he is always called on to run the same straight-line play

I'll rewatch the game tonight but it does seem like every run is a straight handoff right up the middle.

The dude had one of the fastest 10 yards splits at the combine. How about some pitchouts or screens?

He's not a fullback, he's a halfback. We need to use him like one.

Yep, as I expected every hand-off was straight up the gut behind a FB, and absolutely no hole at all to squeeze through.

More often than not he's been met on our side of the line.

Our interior sucks at run blocking, absolutely sucks.

BTW, the same thing happened when PT ran between the tackles. On one play he was hit by 3 Bucs while receiving the hand-off.
