Re: Mark Ingram Needs More Carries
No one can argue with what Ivory has done when he's healthy. The kid can be a beast. I agree that Ingram should work on his recognition, but I just don't buy it that he's missing obvious holes left and right. His yards per carry average gets demolished by the fact that he is the only back they use for short yardage situations. Those are situations where they are running plays that are only designed to gain a few yards. Guys like Ivory and PT are given FAR more opportunities with the play calling to bounce runs outside and get up the sideline. The more game tape you watch the more it is painfully obvious that Ingram to often does not get the same chances to "pad his ypc average" that the other backs do. It's to easy to just look at the numbers and declare a victor, but if you delve into the situation a little deeper it becomes obvious that we have yet to utilize 100% of Ingram's abilities. We got close at the end of this past season, and he began to put on a show. There was even a seven game stretch there that he averaged almost 5 ypc. It's pretty odd how he had a much more productive second half in which he received the ball nearly twice as much as the first half of the season.
