Ingram sets big personal goal for this season

Supertek · 08-22-2013, 08:48 AM

Go look at the numbers. Last year Ingram was below 4 yards per carry at 3.9 and he had more opportunities than anyone else. PT was overall at 4.5 and Sproles above 5. Ever see this guy bust it for a long gain ? None that I can recall. For the preseason he is at 3.5 about what you would expect for him and that's not getting it done. He is supposed to be our feature back don't think you can compare him to the likes of Reggie who was situational.

I posted numbers right above your post, which you've ignored.

Often overlooked is the fact that Ingram has yet to have a full preseason with his head coach.

2011 - lock out....
2012 - Game plan by committee - Ingram was telegraphed. PT/Sproles were used in a different way.
2013 - after this season there are no more excuses. He does however get this season to prove himself one way or the other.

Ingram in, run.

PT in, open playbook.

Sproles in, open playbook.

There in lies the problem. Open the playbook regardless who's on the field. I'd like to see more Ingram/Sproles, Thomas/Sproles, Ingram/Thomas sets personally. 2 RB's, 2 TE's. Make it interesting.

Accurate - I'd still like to run it down their throats regardless. It's all in the mind...

I've been in California WAY too long...
